LGBTQIA+ New Yorkers face unique legal challenges—but too often, those experiences go unheard.

By taking this anonymous 10-minute survey, you’ll help Legal Services NYC better understand the issues affecting LGBTQIA+ communities across New York City, from housing, employment, healthcare, and public benefits to immigration, family law, identity documents, safety, and discrimination.

Take the survey in English, Spanish, Chinese, Russian, Haitian Creole, or Bangla below.

Why Your Voice Matters

At a time when LGBTQIA+ rights and protections are under increasing attack, it is more important than ever to ensure our community’s experiences are heard and documented.

Your responses will help us:

• Identify the most urgent legal issues facing LGBTQIA+ New Yorkers
• Strengthen free legal services and community resources
• Detect emerging challenges and gaps in support
• Advocate for policy changes and increased funding
• Ensure LGBTQIA+ communities help shape the solutions that affect their lives

Every response helps build a clearer picture of the barriers our community faces—and what it will take to overcome them.

Voluntary & Anonymous

Your participation is completely voluntary and confidential. Survey responses are anonymous and will never be used to identify you. The information you share will help Legal Services NYC improve services, expand outreach, and advocate for a more just and equitable New York City for all LGBTQIA+ people.

Help Us Spread the Word

The more voices we hear, the stronger the picture we can build of the challenges LGBTQIA+ New Yorkers are facing.

Share this survey with your friends, communities, and social networks to help ensure that people across all five boroughs—and from every background and identity—have the opportunity to be heard.
