Happier Than Most?

Seems gay really does mean happy this holiday season, as the lesbian, gay, bisexual and/or transgendered community may be among the jolliest of Americans. According to a poll by Harris Interactive, this group is more optimistic about the pending financial recovery, with 34% saying they expect the economy to get better in the next six months, compared to 17% of heterosexual households.

The survey was conducted by Harris Interactive and Witeck Combs Communications, a partnership that specializes in research and marketing to the LGBT community. This is a group long considered to have higher disposable income than the general population and this new study does little to dispel that.
“It’s not that they’re wealthier, but that they have more discretionary income,” says Wesley Combs, president of Witeck-Combs Communications. It’s just that in the last six months they have been constantly more optimistic than heterosexuals.”
