It highlights the disparities in acceptance and experiences of discrimination and harm between those living in rural/small town areas and those in urban/suburban areas. To break it down: 1. Acceptance: 49% of LGBTQ youth in rural areas and small towns reported their community as somewhat or very unaccepting, compared to 26% in urban and suburban areas. Only 4% of rural LGBTQ youth felt their community was very accepting. 2. Geographical distribution: Half of the sample lived in urban (15%) or suburban (34%) areas, while the other half lived in a small city/town (41%) or rural area (10%). 3. Discrimination and harm: LGBTQ youth in rural areas and small towns reported higher rates of experiencing LGBTQ-based discrimination (61% vs. 56%) and physical harm (21% vs. 17%) in the past year compared to those in urban and suburban areas. This data suggests that LGBTQ youth in rural areas and small towns face more challenges in terms of acceptance and safety compared to their counterparts in urban and suburban areas.
