Highlights
LGBT people in same-sex couple households disproportionately live in coastal areas and cities.

LGBT people are more likely to live in areas with poor infrastructure, worse-built environments, and fewer resources.

Counties with a higher proportion of same-sex couples are more vulnerable to the adverse effects of climate change.
Report

Executive Summary

Climate change represents a global challenge, but it also exacerbates existing disparities among individuals and communities. LGBT people face discrimination and exclusion, creating unique vulnerabilities that compound and heighten their exposure to climate-related harms. This report provides some of the first empirical documentation as to how LGBT people differentially experience the negative effects of climate change compared to non-LGBT people. Using U.S. Census data and climate risk assessment data from NASA and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), we conducted a geographic analysis to assess the climate risk impacting same-sex couples.

But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

It is nothing but 'fluff' virtue signaling clickbait nonsense.
The author just wanted to get her 'pro-queer' card punched, so she can show it at the next congregation.

You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.
