This popped up on my twitter feed and has got me wondering because I can see/imagine how Trans and Intersexed(hermaphrodites) people would require specialized medical services but what would the difference be between gay men and women and hetro men and women?
Am I a troglodyte living in the 70's?
Would a gay man's "issues" be any different to say a greek womans if you know what I mean without being too crass?
Or to give equal time a gay woman's issues be any different to a Nuns?
"The process aims to assure the community that specialist medical training meets appropriate standards, and that practicing specialists are supported in the maintenance and enhancement of their knowledge, competence, and performance."
The Alliance is aware that L, G, B, Q, T, & I individuals, sistergirls, brotherboys, people with non-binary genders, polyamorous folks, and our loved ones and communities, have a range of specific concerns related to standards and accreditation for medical professionals.
We are also aware that many of our members routinely face medical situations in which basic medical knowledge and skills for their bodies and needs are lacking.
We invite you to contribute your experiences and knowledge to the LGBTI Health Alliance's public submission to the AMC.
From what I understand, it's a response to a (probably justified) fear amongst some LGBTI people that some doctors may still be prejudiced and accordingly treat them unprofessionally or offer judgemental/unsatisfactory advice. Whether or not this kind of thing is prevalent nowadays, this suggestion appears to be a way to ensure that LGBTI people can feel confident in seeing a doctor and be less likely to skip medical appointments.
There are also sexual health issues that may be more specific to gay men or women.

Please explain!
Do they get a different strain of VD to Hetrosexuals?
Obviously anal sex (which not all male-male couples practice, of course) is more common among gay couples than straight couples, and the specifics of female-female sex are different again. It's not like we're talking two disparate categories, just issues that will generally be a little more prevalent in one than the other.

I'm hearing what 1061 is saying on this. Apart from mental health issues, I really don't see how there's anything unique that needs doctors focused on their issues.
Anal sex is anal sex whether the recipient is male, female or other. There's only so many things that can happen that a proctologist couldn't deal with.
FIIK what medical issues lesbians could have that straight women wouldn't.
Whole thing sounds a little precious to me. Want to be treated the same when it suits and want to be treated different when it suits. I'd be surprised if many LGBTI people actually supported this stuff.
Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down.

I don't mean that there's anything particularly special about it, just that, I dunno, some gay men might feel uncomfortable going to an old Italian doctor and saying that they caught chlamydia from another man. Unless I've misunderstood, this just sounds a bit like an extension of that idea of putting rainbow flags on shop windows. Probably not a bad thing, but, as you say, probably not a matter of great urgency for a lot of queer people either. Just something that some people think might be helpful.

Douglas pleaded guilty in 2012 to having sex with 23-year-old Charlene Appling on the day she died after being strangled while six months pregnant and having sex with another woman April Hicks. Douglas was sentenced for a further three years on each of the offences.
Now he has admitted to having sex with up to 100 dead women between 1976 and 1992 while he worked the night shift.
"I would just get on top of them and pull my pants down," Hamilton said in a deposition to the 6th US Circuit Court of Appeals.

Now that's what I call a stiffy.
new meaning to just ducking out for a cold one.

Prejudice and discrimination are no more to be tolerated in this domain than they are against gay, lesbian and transgender individuals. Progressive social attitudes toward the natural urge to have sex with dead bodies are long overdue.
