In this podcast we talk about the impact of non-affirming environments on health outcomes among lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) persons, and the intersection of LGBT stigma with HIV-related stigma and racial discrimination. Dr. Mayer describes the education and training work that The Fenway Institute does to optimize healthcare with LGBT persons. He provides multiple ways to intervene in stigma, ranging from becoming comfortable talking about sexual orientation and gender identity, self-awareness of power dynamics, to structural and political changes.
