The majority of young LGBTQ+ people are motivated to take political action — but their motivation often goes hand in hand with anxiety and depression, according to a new Trevor Project research brief, “Civic Engagement, Political Concerns, and Mental Health Among LGBTQ+ Young People.”
Using data from the Trevor Project’s 2024 U.S. National Survey on the Mental Health of LGBTQ+ Young People, the brief, released Wednesday, notes that 60 percent of respondents felt motivated to take some action in the previous year, such as volunteering, contributing money, attending a political event, or contacting a government official. Forty-four percent said they had at least one LGBTQ-related political concern. The 18,663 LGBTQ+ young people who responded to the survey were recruited via ads on social media.
