Sept 23 – Queer Healthcare 101 Know Your Rights Presentation
Ferndale, MI – Thursday, Sept 23 | 7 pm – A substantial body of research indicates that lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBTQ+) populations across the United States encounter significant barriers to healthcare.
Many LGBTQ+ people have difficulty finding providers who are knowledgeable about their needs, encounter discrimination from insurers or providers, or delay or forego care because of concerns about how they will be treated.
In the absence of federal legislation prohibiting healthcare discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity, LGBTQ+ people are often left with little recourse when discrimination occurs.
Join Erin Knott, Executive Director of Equality Michigan, and Jay Kaplan, staff attorney for the ACLU of Michigan for an informative panel discussion on the healthcare rights of queer folk.
Presented by Ferndale Area District Library and Royal Oak Library.
