Unfortunately the link was broken in the article and the article itself didn’t have a lot of detail. I think this led to most of the comments here as saying “oh this is just because such and such factor” which yes of course everything people are saying are all factors and they’re specifically listed as factors in the report. But the gap still remained when controlling for those factors too, including lgbt people living in more expensive areas (and even with that, the reason they’re in more expensive areas is because those areas have more tolerant policies, also nicely laid out in the report).
Here’s a link to the actual study:
