National Coalition for LGBTQ Health is excited to announce the theme for the 20th National LGBTQ Health Awareness Week.
For 2020, the theme of LIVE OUT LOUD for LGBTQ Health encourages everyone to speak openly about LGBTQ health, providing an umbrella under which to discuss and raise awareness of mental health, trans health, and ending stigma through accessible, affirming, and inclusive healthcare services so that everyone can fully live their truth and a healthy life.
Optimism, relevance, and timeliness are integral to the theme of the week. This theme was developed in part from results of the National Coalition for LGBTQ Health’s Inaugural State of LGBTQ Health National Survey™ which features input from nearly 2,500 LGBTQ health providers and highlights the most pressing healthcare issues faced by LGBTQ communities. The survey report and findings will be released during the week.
Partners in the National LGBTQ Health Awareness Week participate in educational and advocacy activities throughout the Week, amplify LGBTQ health awareness messages on social media, and conduct their own activities to raise awareness of LGBTQ health issues, including those related to their organization’s interests.
This theme also speaks to the importance of raising our collective voice against those telling us, “Don’t Say Gay.” Please join us in shouting “Gay” OUT LOUD as we LIVE OUT LOUD for LGBTQ Health!
