Are you meeting a doctor for the first time? Here’s a good question to ask them: "What experience do you have caring for LGBTQ+ patients?" If you don’t like their answer or they don’t make you feel comfortable, find another doctor. CLICK THIS LINK for a list of providers who care about LGBTQ+ health and provide cancer screening services even if you don’t have insurance. https:/qhip.cancer-network.org/ LEAVE A COMMENT.

🌈 PRIDE MONTH WAS JUNE - ♿ DISABILITY PRIDE IS JULY Why are representatives from one marginalised group stealing focus from another, with rainbow logos, glittery panel events, and greetings of 'Happy Pride!' even though today is 3 July? (This just happened at a Linkedin Live event by Colt Technology Services featuring myGwork - LGBTQ+ Business Community co-founder Pierre Gaubert in conversation with Keri Gilder). We know that 15% of the population has a #disability. 🤔 When is it their turn to have our attention? And how do they feel about being squished out of their own awareness month? I wouldn't blame them for feeling pretty offended TBH... 🤔 Are #employers making sure that employees from all disadvantaged groups feel equally valued? Are budgets spent equally across these groups? Whose voices are being heard, and whose are not? 🤔 If heads of #DEI can't be trusted to get this right, when will #HR directors start scrutinising their decisions more carefully? 🤔 And why does anyone think '🌈Pride is all year round!' is an acceptable response to reasonable questions about this? Oh dear, DEI is in such deep trouble... #DisabilityAwarenessMonth #DisabilityPride

A survey from the Family Equality Council found that 63% of LGBTQ millennials are considering growing their families, yet many barriers and limitations continue to exist for this population when it comes to accessible family-forming options. In recognition of National LGBTQ+ Health Awareness Week, I wanted to share this story from Nina, a Carrot Fertility member. There are many complexities for LGBTQ+ people who want to build their families, and her experience reminds us why we must continue to shine a spotlight on this important issue. #LGBTQhealth #LGBTQ+ #fertilitycareforall #familybuilding #familyforming #fertility #fertilitybenefits

I must admit, during the panel, I was taken aback by my own vulnerability. However, I pushed through and opened up by sharing stories that fostered empathy and connection among the audience. It was a powerful experience that reminded me of the importance of creating allies and how sharing our personal experiences can be a catalyst for positive change. #acceptancewithoutunderstanding #acceptanceforall2050

Did you know? #Transgender adults are much more likely to identify as #Disabled than cisgender adults. The Human Rights Campaign analyzed the disability core questions in the 2020 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS), a nationally a nationally representative survey of adults across the United States, and found that 52% of trans adults self-reported having a disability, compared with 35% of cisgender, LGBQ+ adults. It's crucial that both disability services providers and LGBTQ+ services providers are ready to address the needs of #DisabledAndQueer individuals.
