Description


Health care issues have long been a bane for the LGBTQ community, whether it was the struggle of HIV-positive gay men fighting to get proper health care in the 1980s and 90s, or that of trans people to be treated fairly by health care providers rather than dismissed. This anthology is the first to combine essays by health care providers on LGBTQ health issues with autobiographical stories by members of the LGBTQ community on their health-care experience.

Editor Zena Sharman is a health researcher and advocate and was co-editor of the anthology Persistence (with Ivan Coyote). Zena’s goal for this book was to create an inclusive, populist forum for the sharing of ideas around LGBTQ health care, including adjacent social and political issues.

While substantial (the book is sure to be adopted for classroom use), it is not an academic book per se.

Contributors include Sinclair Sexsmith, Amber Dawn, Cooper Lee Bombardier, Francisco Ibanez-Carrasco, and Sailor Holladay. The book’s inclusivity is represented by the numerous contributors from a wide range of racial and ethnic backgrounds, ages, genders, and sexualities.
