Abstract

In 2011, the Institute of Medicine (IOM) published its groundbreaking report on Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender (LGBT) health, adding to a growing body of evidence that improving the health of LGBT populations was a major priority for both researchers and policymakers alike (IOM, 2011; USDHHS, 2011). One of their key findings was that health disparities experienced by LGBT individuals might partially be due to the deleterious effects of personal and structural stigma. The goal of this session is to discuss key issues in the LGBT community from an intersectional perspective, exploring the complex role of sexual and gender identity, race/ethnicity, and region on the persistence of health inequities.
