| Abstract: |
Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer/questioning, or other sexual and/or gender expansive identities (LGBTQ+) in the United States are facing an insurmountable reintroduction of discriminatory and stigmatizing policies and legislation (i.e., Zombie Laws) particularly those pertaining to sexual practices, minoritized sexual orientations and gender identities, and access to equitable healthcare. This has a particularly devastating effect on cancer-related care and outcomes. Therefore, a call to action among researchers, policymakers, and activists is needed to protect LGBTQ + rights and ensure gains continue to ameliorate cancer-related health disparities. © The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature 2024. |
