Abstract:
The concept of sexual minority contains lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender (LGBT) and disorders of sex development. Despite many recent advances in rights for sexual minorities in the world, bias against them still exit. We held a workshop ‘toward better care for sexual minorities' on the 6th Annual Conference of Japan Primary Care Association 2015. Four lecturers talked about health disparities among sexual minority patients. We want this paper help reducing the readers' prejudice towards the sexual minorities and thus impact their future clinical practice.
