In 2017, a Gallup poll concluded that 4.5 percent of adult Americans identified themselves as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, interesex and asexual ("LGTBQIA+"), 5.1 percent of them women and 3.9 percent men. A different survey in 2016, from the Williams Institute, estimated that 0.6 percent of adults in the United States identified themselves as transgender.
Through activism and the arts, the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, interesex and asexual ("LGBTQIA+") community in Miami-Dade County maintains a long track record of leading restoration in revitalization efforts in several of Miami's historic communities.
Because of this diversity and inclusiveness, #OurCounty continues to attract more than one million LGBTQIA+ visitors each year as well as individuals, businesses and professionals seeking to relocate to the area.
The board will continue to promoting Miami-Dade County as a community where LGBTQIA+ friendly businesses and professionals and LGBTQIA+ residents and visitors are welcomed to work, live and play.
