Members of the LGBTQ community often face challenges and barriers to accessing health services and, as a result of on-going issues of stigma and discrimination,
can experience worse health outcomes. Join us for a discussion on unique health challenges and existing disparities that LGBTQ individuals encounter especially those who are people of color. The speakers will discuss current activism and changes within the
legal and policy landscape to bring greater health equity to LGBTQ individuals and their families as well as the challenges that the community now faces in the more polarized current political climate.
