How to we fix this news about financial services and the LGBTQ community?
According to The Motley Fool / Debt Free Guys LGBTQ+ Money Study, 48% of LGBTQ+ Americans report being discriminated against by someone in the financial services industry with transgender American reporting experiencing the most discrimination at 67%.
44% of LGBTQ+ respondents TMF/DFG LGBTQ+ Money Study attribute the discrimination they’ve experienced by the financial services industry to their lack of financial security.
Despite the prevalence of financial services, banking and insurance companies at Pride parades each year and being leading sponsors of some of the most important LGBTQ non-profits, there’s still a huge disconnect between these services’ primary purpose and the desperate needs of millions of LGBTQ+ people.
