According to a recent American survey conducted by global market research company Harris Interactive, almost one in four gay and lesbian adults lack health insurance. They are also nearly twice as likely as their heterosexual counterparts to have no health insurance coverage. Compared to only 12 percent of heterosexual adults in the survey, 22 percent of gay and lesbian survey respondents reported having no health insurance.

The new study was completed online between April 7 and 15, 2008 by 2,710 U.S. adults, (ages 18 and over), 343 of which self identified as gay or lesbian, by Harris Interactive, in conjunction with Witeck-Combs Communications, Inc., a strategic public relations and marketing communications firm with special expertise in the GLBT market.
