Summary

Nutrition label

86% Informative

In 2024 , state legislatures introduced an all-time record of 533 bills targeting LGBTQ+ populations.

Authors: These policies have implications for the health of not only LGBTQ+ people but also the general public.

Same-sex marriage provides a clear example of how public policies affect LGBTQ+ health.

The Trump administration has scrubbed federal web pages of resources, programs and documents that reference gender and LGBTQ+ people.

Nathaniel Tran : This legal challenge puts free coverage of mammograms, vaccinations and other preventive services into limbo for millions of Americans .

He says these decisions are in stark contrast to countries such as England , Wales , New Zealand and Australia , which have collected or are planning to collect LGBTQ+ demographic data.
