Synopsis

Throughout their lives, LGBTQIA+ individuals are faced with the effects of health disparities, barriers to care, feeling invisible, discrimination, and more as a result of their sexuality and/or gender identity. These issues can even impact one's end-of-life care. Without minimal protections, LGBTQIA+ individuals can lose their housing or parenteral rights when their partner passes away. Transgender individuals carry the dread of being buried under their deadname as they navigate a terminal illness and hospice. Being an ally to the LGBTQIA+ community can not only save a life but also help protect those individual during one of the most vulnerable times in their life. Through increased awareness, education, training, and activism, healthcare professionals, friends, and families can be allies to the LGBTQIA+ community at end-of-life. This book highlights stories pertaining to LGBTQIA+ end-of-life care and allyship and outlines resources for those both in and outside of LGBTQIA+ and healthcare communities.
