About the SOQIR study

SOQIR (So Queer) is a study of queer, trans, and nonbinary people's relationships — we want to learn more about your relationship, your stressors and your strengths — and what it is like being in a queer relationship right now.  

We are in a time of unprecedented rights and protections for LGBTQIA+ people — but sadly, these hard-won rights and protections are at risk in multiple states and countries.

Given everything that is going on in the US, it is more important than ever to make our lives and relationships visible, and to make sure our voices are heard.  

AM I ELIGIBLE?

TO BE ELIGIBLE, YOU SHOULD...

1.  Be transgender/nonbinary, or a woman identifying as LGBTQ+; 

2. Also currently be in a relationship with someone who identifies as lesbian, gay, bisexual, queer, trans, nonbinary, or who is same-sex or same-gender attracted. 

4.  Be 18 or over.

WHAT WOULD I HAVE TO DO?

SCREENING SURVEY: Take a screener survey (approx. 15-20 minutes) to determine your eligibility for the study.

INTERVIEWS (OPTIONAL):  If you qualify, you and your partner may be asked to take part in our interviews (those who are invited to be interviewed will be compensated for their time). Total possible time commitment for the interviews may be up to 3-4 hours.
