...may misrepresent sexual orientation disparities in health and lead to ineffective “one size fits all” recommendations and interventions that don’t reflect the specific experiences of BIPOC LGBTQ people, which are shaped by not only heterosexism but also racism...
...LGBTQ health research should include BIPOC LGBTQ people in sufficient numbers, present results stratified by race/ethnicity, and include measures pertaining to not only sexual orientation and heterosexism but also race/ethnicity and racism.
