Gay people are likelier to be poor than straight people.

The Williams Institute at the UCLA School of Law today released a first-of-its-kind report that shows lesbian, gay and bisexual Americans are as likely, and in some cases more likely, to be poor than their heterosexual counterparts.

Gay couples are poorer than straight couples, lesbian couples are poorer than gay couples, African American gay and lesbian couples people are poorer than white gay and lesbian couples, and rural gays and lesbians are poorer than absolutely everybody.
