When people seek medical assistance, they should be able to go to the doctor or specialist without worrying. Instead, they worry about mistreatment, harassment or about being discriminated or denied services. This happens very often to the LGBTQ population, who are exposed to all these situations. After many years of fight and after some laws ruling the subject have been enacted, LGBTQ people are now protected against discrimination in health care on the basis of gender identity and sex stereotypes. However, there are still many people trying to make it possible for health care to be denied to the LGBTQ population.
