HOW TO TELL YOUR DOCTOR THAT YOU'RE GAY
Here's how to fd an LGBTQ iendly doctor who is a willg ally to gay, trans, and queer people and unrstand their healthre needs. * my doctor is gay *
Yet gay, transgenr, and queer people often have a hard time fdg LGBTQIA+-iendly doctors. LGBTQIA+ people livg areas wh lots of anti-gay prejudice live about 12 years shorter than those more acceptg areas. Do they have trans, gay, queer, or other LGBTQIA+ patients?
The Gay and Lbian Medil Associatn provir directory lets you fd doctors who are LGBTQIA+ themselv.
Gay and Bisexual Men. Public has bee more fortable wh homosexualy, so too have pediatricians terms of rg for the LGBTQ populatn.
HOW I GOT OVER TELLG MY DOCTORS I'M GAY
Search the largt LGBTQ+ healthre directory for affirmg provirs who unrstand lbian, gay, bisexual, transgenr, and queer health. * my doctor is gay *
Why would they need to know that you're gay? I hadn’t even told any of my fay that I was gay, let alone my doctor. So, now that I was Portland, an entirely different world, how did I get over tellg my doctors that I’m gay?
The fact that I’m gay was jt another piece of rmatn to help them wh the puzzle that is their patient. When we got to our small talk about what’s new my life, I told him that I was gay, and jt as he likely would have done all those years before, he rpond wh a non-judgmental nfirmatn.
GAY MEDICE
I love seeg straight pre-meds weigh on the s and outs of beg gay med school. Shut up unls you n speak telligently about the subject, or maybe at least have 1 gay iend before you start pog how "really is" for gays medice. OP, you h the nail on the head - there are a ln gay psychiatrists for whatever reason.
MY DOCTOR IS GAY
There are 5-10 out gay folks per class my class of 150, so fairly good odds. Feel ee to text me any Qs on beg gay med school.
As you n see, the supposedly super straight tegoril Surgery is gettg a lot gayer the days. 1) You're viewpot of "openly gay" and "openly straight" mak you sound like someone om Alabama the 80's.
2) Get ed to gay people. In medice and medil tn the days, homophobia is simply not tolerated. If you n't handle a gay man your class mentng his boyiend, how are you gog to handle patient tellg you about their dg hab?
DOCTOR WHO: IS THE DOCTOR GAY, STRAIGHT, BI OR NONE OF THE ABOVE?
As I've said before, homophobia is jt not acceptable medice anymore. -"Fakg" beg gay for URM stat is a ridiculo claim. This is the same logic that prevents gays om havg same-sex health benefs.
-Most med schools do not accept homophobia at all. At UPenn for stance, I've never enuntered any prejudice or homophobia. Get ed to gay folks your class, and stop droppg this prenceptn of "effemant" men.
