• IS ITS GAY POPULATN WHY WEHO HOG IS SO EXPENSIVE?

THE HIGH COST OF BEG GAY

Dpe beg fancial profsnals who had plenty of knowledge about money, they realized their "fancial troubl had roots beg LGBT, " Schneir LGBT acronym means lbian, gay, bisexual and transgenr and may be lengthened to clu queer, tersex and asexual inti to the mix.

But while longevy risk plagu much of Ameri's agg populatn, whether gay or straight, cis- or transgenr, LGBT people often need to save even more to afford their longer liv. And if you watch even a ltle b of televisn the days, you’ll get the same ia … So, y, ’s pretty easy to get the imprsn that beg gay is a ticket to affluence. Lee BADGETT: One possibily is a gay person says, well, I know I’m gog to face some stigma and discrimatn the labor market, maybe my bt fense agast havg an e disadvantage is to get a lot of tn.

BEG GAY IS EXPENSIVE: HERE’S HOW TO TAKE PRI YOUR FANC

Also, gay hoeholds are said to spend 50 percent more on pet re products – so if you’re a dog, and you want to be pampered, havg gay parents seems like a good ia. That gay men are more affluent, probably bee they’re more highly ted, and bee they’re much ls likely to have kids, which means they have the money to live really nice neighborhoods. BADGETT: The most important thg to know is that is actually pretty hard to get good data on lbian, gay and bisexual people.

ARE GAY MEN REALLY RICH?

So one problem is that not everyone who’s lbian, gay, bisexual, or transgenr is gog to say so when a stranger wh a Cens form knocks on their door.

THE HIGH PRICE OF BEG A GAY COUPLE

DUBNER: Okay, so if the Cens don’t ask directly about sexual orientatn, how do we know what we’ve been tellg you about – that, for stance, gay upl earn about 20 percent more than straight upl? It’s a sub-sample bee not all gay people are partnered, and ’s also a sub-sample bee not all partnered gay people would want to disclose that to the cens.

THE 'GAYTRIFITN' EFFECT: WHY GAY NEIGHBOURHOODS ARE BEG PRICED OUT

BADGETT: Gay and lbian people tend to have higher-than-average tn levels, so you would expect them to have higher-than-average .

THE ST OF BEG GAY

Badgett says that, while her data may not be so great eher, appears that if you took two observatnally equivalent men — same background, same tn, and so on – that the gay man would earn ls than the straight man, not more.

WHY ARE HOE PRIC HIGHER LGBT NEIGHBORHOODS? BUYERS GAY AREAS FACE PAYG UP TO FOUR TIM THE AVERAGE PRICE

In fact, earlier this year, Badgett and two -thors released a Williams Instute study which found that gays and lbians are more likely to live poverty than observatnally equivalent heterosexuals.

Now, you may be a b spic of such a claim ma by an stute dited to sexual-orientatn issu but, assumg ’s legimate, the next obv qutn would be: why aren’t gays earng more? BLACK: I thk there is some good evince that gay men do take occupatns that are, you know, they look more female like, and of urse female occupatns tradnally pay a ltle b lower so that uld expla a part of .

Now, aga, keep md, an analysis like this reli on self-intified gay men who live wh a same-sex partner but, among that group, a gay man was about 16 tim more likely than a straight man to teach prchool or krgarten. And I spect that that differential treatment between the gay and the straight applints is likely to be seen other ways, if we uld actually study this further to the employment procs. ERICSON: We fd that people are also hant to reveal that they don’t support gays and lbians, that they hi their anti-gay sentiment.

“BEG GAY IS REALLY EXPENSIVE” SAYS THE ‘I LOVE YOU PHILLIP MORRIS’ RED BAND TRAILER

So when we ask a private, veiled way, people are more likely to adm that they would be unfortable havg a gay manager, or that they thk ’s okay to discrimate agast gays and lbians.

A study that Ericson -thored found that when people uld answer qutns totally anonymoly, they were much more likely to exprs anti-gay feelgs.

As for the qutn that started this whole nversatn, om Danny Rosa — he wanted to know “what is about gay men and the gay culture that mak them so wealthy?

IS ITS GAY POPULATN WHY WEHO HOG IS SO EXPENSIVE?

So if you already thk that gay men are relatively affluent, and then you see a few really nice neighborhoods that happen to be gay neighborhoods – well, nfirms your view. This is pecially te for lbian, gay, bisexual, transgenr, and queer (LGBTQ+) people, who often rely on alternative paths, such as adoptn and surrogacy, to have children. Gay upl earng, say, $80, 000, uld have health surance sts siar to our hypothetil higher-earng uple, but they might well owe more e tax than their heterosexual unterparts.
