LGBTQ People on Sex Offender Registries in the US

Collateral Consequences of Being on the Registry

Barriers to employment and housing and vigilante violence, harassment, and 
discrimination due toboth registry restrictions and stigma are among the 
collateral consequences experienced by people required to register.
• Most people (56%) reported that they lost a job due to being on the 
registry, and almost a third were denied a promotion for this reason. 
Also, more than 30% of the people said they changed jobs once or twice in 
the two years prior to the survey. Among them, 27% of straight cisgender 
respondents and 39% of LGBTQ respondents reported that they were 
terminated from their job due to being on the registry, and about 20% of 
respondents changed jobs because they were harassed.
• Two-thirds said they had difficulty finding a place to live that was not 
too close to a school, bus stop, park, or playground. Among the 30% of 
respondents who had moved at least once in the two years prior to taking 
the survey, the most common reasons for moving were related to legal 
restrictions, financial reasons due to the registry, and other  
ifficulties related to the registry, such as harassment.
• Most respondents reported that they had been denied contact with family 
members and had lost a friendship. Approximately half of respondents 
reported being harassed in person or via media and said that they were 
unable to date or have intimate partners.
• Since being on the registry, LGBTQ and straight cisgender respondents 
experienced similar rates of abuse and violence for the most part, with 
21% of straight cisgender and 24% of LGBTQ respondents having been hit, 
beaten, physically attacked, or sexually assaulted. Many respondents 
reported being verbally insulted or abused (66%), threatened with violence 
(45%), or robbed or vandalized (37%).
• Asked about the reason for their experiences of violence and harassment, 
almost all (90%) of the respondents believed it was due to their being on 
the registry. LGBTQ respondents also said that violence and harassment 
were due to their sexual identity (24%), gender expression or appearance 
(4%), or HIV status (1%).
