2010 Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, & Transgender Boulder County Survey Report
This Survey of LGBT people who work or live in Boulder County included
roughly a 300-person sampling and explored demographic data (including age,
education, race, and self identification), and especially perceived
community needs. Many needs were identified in the survey, but the most
common were: social opportunities, networking, and connectedness with other
LGBT people; greater awareness and visibility of LGBT organizations;
counseling and therapy; health; and youth and elder services.
