This research examines the perceptions of law enforcement by the LGBTQ+ community. Relying on data from the 2016 and 2020 Collaborative Multiracial Post-Election Surveys, we examine the relationship between sexual identity and perceptions of police. We also observe how comfortable members of the LGBTQ+ community feel contacting the police and the role that interactions with law enforcement have on their perceptions of police. We compare our results across five different sexual and gender identity groups in the United States.
