Lesbian Health: Current Assessment and Directions for the Future
Lesbian Health and Homophobia: Excerpt
by Kate O'Hanlan, M.D
"Finally, I am concerned that too little is known about Lesbians' health
issues, and, in particular, how homophobia issues may cause gay men and
lesbians to avoid seeing the doctor and not get good care, and pose a health
hazard. What would really be important would be health policy changes, which
I have proposed in my publication in the Journal
of Women’s Health (2004) and in our trade journal Obstetrics
and Gynecology. See a video lecture about the Health
concerns of lesbians, bisexuals, transgendered and intersexual people
given by me at Stanford University's McGann Lecture Series."
