One example: I've known plenty of straight couples from my Gen-x & older generations that simply won't go to therapy because "that's what Jesus / Church is for". They see therapy as something people on the left engage in, and therefore it's seen as somewhat hedonist & indulgent. Good Christians on the other hand, just tough it out and pray away the anxiety. That's why I'd like to see the pre-COVID baseline; the numbers collected may be a normal discrepancy between the two groups.

You bring up some interesting points, and who knows, they may actually have that information. If you do contact them, report back, especially if they respond with info!! I think it would be interesting to know.

Some of it seems obvious - such as LGBTQ over 65 years old couples are more likely to have a household size of two than straight couples, but it's good to have it as solid data. It's so interesting to compare this data to other studies that show for instance that LGBTQ households were/are more likely to be vaccinated, but our likelihood of social distancing averaged the same as straight households. The politics, the social structures and pressures, the economic influences - this all helps build a more accurate picture of our communities.

When or if I find the answer to the questions, I'll post it here.
