Health-care inequality exists in marginalized groups such as the LGBT+ community. Having been involved in setting up a urological service to connect with this community, I reflect on how health-care organizations must prioritize the unmet needs of this group in order to strive for equality.
Learning to rectify my personal and professional identities has not always been easy, but finally getting to a place where the two can work together has led me to the most fulfilling portion of my career in urology.
June is Pride month, which is dedicated to celebrating LGBT+ communities worldwide. It also provides an opportunity to celebrate these communities in our own field and to consider how we can improve inclusion and health care for LGBT+ patients in urology.
