A Human Rights Campaign survey took an in-depth look at the coronavirus pandemic's impact on queer communities of color.
MEXICO CITY, Aug 4 - Black LGBT+ people are getting struck hard economically by the coronavirus pandemic in the United States, according to a study published on Tuesday, and are more likely to have lost jobs or had work hours reduced than their straight, white peers.
Nearly a quarter of U.S. deaths from coronavirus have been Black people, despite their making up 13% of the population, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention . More than 4.6 million cases of the highly contagious coronavirus have been reported in the United States, according to Reuters data, with some 150,000 people dying of the disease.
“It’s no surprise and should be a shock to no one that Black people have always found themselves in a position of being at the bottom,” said J. Maurice McCants-Pearsall, director of HIV and health equity at HRC.
