Collecting ‘LGBTQ data’ on sexual orientation and gender identity

If you aren't counted, you don't count

Collecting ‘LGBTQ data’ on sexual orientation and gender identity

LGBTQ stands for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans, Queer or Questioning

What if people don’t want to say?

Whatever you’re asking, some people just  won’t want to share some information with you. And that’s ok
For some, sharing information about their sexuality or trans status could be a huge thing, and something they are not ready to do. Occasionally, some people may be offended at the questions
People are more likely to feel positive about this and to participate more fully if they’re given the opportunity to opt out of specific questions
