A myriad of factors contribute to the increased vulnerabilities of LGB persons, ranging from disproportionately high numbers of those without health insurance (Heck, Sell, &amp; Gorin, 2006), to higher rates of sexually transmitted diseases, including HIV (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. National Center for HIV\/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD, &amp; TB Prevention, 2010). Explorations of more overt forms of oppression like homophobia that may contribute to health disparities in LGB people are readily found in the literature (Christensen, 2005; Dinkel, Patzel, McGuire, Rolfs, &amp; Purcell, 2007). Yet there is a subtler and perhaps even more prevalent form of oppression that may impact the health disparities of LGB patients\u2014heterosexism. Examples of heterosexism abound in health care. From a check box on an intake form that only offers \u201cMarried\u201d or \u201cSingle,\u201d to a nurse practitioner automatically asking sexually active female patients about which birth control they use, LGB persons often face the assumption that they are heterosexual unless and until they state otherwise&#8230;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/soginursing.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Heterosexism-and-Health-.pdf\"><u>Download Resource<\/u><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div><style type=\"text\/css\">.fusion-body .fusion-builder-column-0{width:100% !important;margin-top : 0px;margin-bottom : 20px;}.fusion-builder-column-0 > .fusion-column-wrapper {padding-top : 0px !important;padding-right : 0px !important;margin-right : 1.92%;padding-bottom : 0px !important;padding-left : 0px !important;margin-left : 1.92%;}@media only screen and (max-width:1024px) {.fusion-body .fusion-builder-column-0{width:100% !important;order : 0;}.fusion-builder-column-0 > .fusion-column-wrapper {margin-right : 1.92%;margin-left : 1.92%;}}@media only screen and (max-width:640px) {.fusion-body .fusion-builder-column-0{width:100% !important;order : 0;}.fusion-builder-column-0 > .fusion-column-wrapper {margin-right : 1.92%;margin-left : 1.92%;}}<\/style><\/div><\/div><style type=\"text\/css\">.fusion-body .fusion-flex-container.fusion-builder-row-1{ padding-top : 0px;margin-top : 0px;padding-right : 0px;padding-bottom : 0px;margin-bottom : 0px;padding-left : 0px;}<\/style><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":1634,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[30],"tags":[45,44],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.1 -
