A team of researchers are mounting an endeavor titled the Social Justice Sexuality Initiative. A key part of this enterprise will be a large repeated cross-sectional national survey that will investigate the sociopolitical experiences of Black, Latina/o, as well as Asian and Pacific Islander lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) people. More specifically, this project is interested in better understanding how identity enhances or inhibits the experiences of this target population around four major themes:

• accessing health - and community - based services;
• participating in civic and social engagement; more specifically, organizing and mobilizing both within and across varying racial and sexual identity based groups;
• family formations and dynamics; and
• religious participation, experiences, and attitudes.
