Access Partnership’s recent article, “How the Digital Divide Affects the LGBTQ+ Community,” shines a light on how LGBTQ+ individuals face unique digital access challenges that often go overlooked. Drawing on the expertise of LGBT Tech, the piece emphasizes how internet connection and device access aren't just conveniences, they’re vital lifelines.
As noted in the article:
"Civil society groups like LGBT Tech are advocating for universal broadband and expanded 5G access in the U.S. to combat the discrimination and exclusion LGBTQ+ individuals face across essential services—whether through housing, healthcare, employment, or accessing community."
These findings reaffirm that for many in the LGBTQ+ community, digital tools offer a way to overcome systemic barriers and connect with affirming spaces, especially when offline environments can feel unsafe or isolating.
