Did you know that people in the LGBTQ+ community are less likely to have health insurance, less likely to have a regular healthcare provider, and more likely to have worse health outcomes than heterosexual and cisgender patients? We have over 55 years of progress to celebrate, but we still have a long way to go to achieve LGBTQ+ equality. This #PrideMonth, we call on you to join us in advocating for LGBTQ+ health for everyone, everywhere. Learn how you can REFLECT, EMPOWER, and UNITE on behalf of your LGBTQ+ community members and allies.

🌈 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

"Breaking Barriers with Endometriosis Awareness! 🏳️🌈 Endometriosis doesn't discriminate and can affect anyone with a uterus, regardless of their gender identity. But sadly, the awareness and understanding of this condition within the LGBTQ+ community is often overlooked. It's time we shed light on this topic and educate ourselves about the symptoms, causes, and treatment options. Remember, health is a right, not a privilege. Let's work towards a world where everyone feels seen, heard, and cared for. Together, we can make a difference! 💪🌈 #DidYouKnow #DailyPost #EndometriosisAwareness #LGBTQHealth #InclusiveHealthcare #healthcareforall #endometriosisjourney #lgbtqsupport #endometriosissupport #endometriosistreatment #healthcareawareness #endometriosiswarrior #raiseawareness #endometriosisawarenessmonth #endometriosislife #healtheducation #lgbtqwellness #endometriosisawareness #endometriosiscommunity #breakingbarriers #lgbtqhealth #treatmentoptions #healthadvocacy #genderidentity #lgbtqrights #endometriosiseducation #endometriosisfighter #endometriosis

Cancer impacts everyone, but it doesn’t impact everyone equally. Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer/Questioning (LGBTQ+) people face a unique and increased cancer burden, disproportionately burdened with risk factors, screening disparities, obstacles to prevention, detection, and treatment because of systemic factors that go beyond the connection to cancer. Thanks to support from our partners like our Health Equity Sponsor BOHConcepts we are working diligently to reduce and eliminate those health disparities. Some of the ways we are making change include: 🌈 Advocating to ensure all eligible individuals can access affordable, comprehensive health insurance through Medicaid expansion 🌈 Supporting the Respect for Marriage Act that ensures marriage equality for same-sex couples and their families and protects their ability to access employer health insurance 🌈 Fighting against “conscience clauses” that would allow healthcare providers, staff, and insurers to deny care and services based on personal or religious beliefs.

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.

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

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
