Can’t Check Our Identity at the Door: Insights from First Survey of Queer Jews of Colour

The first-ever survey of queer Jews of colour reveals valuable insights into this unique intersection of identity. It highlights the struggles and experiences of individuals who are navigating both their Jewish and LGBTQ+ identities.

The findings underscore how people feel their identities are often overlooked or misunderstood, particularly in communities that have historically lacked visibility for people of colour. The survey also found that queer Jews of colour often face challenges related to marginalization within both Jewish and LGBTQ+ spaces.

The report is a call for greater inclusion and understanding, advocating for better support systems and resources for queer Jews of colour in Jewish communities. By sharing these insights, the hope is to foster a more inclusive and welcoming environment for all Jews, regardless of their sexual orientation or ethnic background.
