Wiener Bill Would Mandate SOGI Data for COVID-19 in California (Bay Area Reporter - May 6)
Gay state Senator Scott Wiener introduced legislation May 5 requiring that the state of California collect the sexual orientation and gender identity data of novel coronavirus patients.
If it becomes law, Senate Bill 932 would track how many LGBT people are being infected, hospitalized and placed in intensive care, as well as how many have recovered versus died.
