Heterosexism in Health and Social Care

This book anticipates changes in equality agendas promoted by the Commission for Equality and Human Rights, and recent anti-discrimination legislation. Its formulation of heterosexism as a key theoretical concept is groundbreaking, as is its contribution to the assessment of health and social care needs of LGBT people, its consideration of intersecting identities and its discussion of the author’s research findings. Positive reviews have appeared in: British Medical Journal, Health & Social Care in the Community and Critical Public Health. The book led to a Department of Health contract for a series of briefing papers: Reducing health inequalities for LGBT people.
