In 2019, several Tulsa-area organizations collaborated to conduct a needs assessment survey to provide outreach, create advocacy groups and guide policymakers about the needs of Tulsa’s sexual and gender minorities. More than 800 anonymous surveys were completed and analyzed. From this effort, a 73-page report was released in November 2019.
