"The association of sexual orientation with prostate, breast, and cervical cancer screening and diagnosis."

Abstract:

129 Background: Data on heterogeneity in cancer screening and diagnosis rates among lesbians/gays and bisexuals is lacking. Recent studies showed that lesbians/gays and bisexuals have decreased healthcare utilization compared to heterosexual counterparts and continue to experience discrimination in healthcare. Few studies have examined how sexual orientation impacts cancer screening and prevalence. We, therefore, investigated the association between sexual orientation and prevalent sex-specific cancer including prostate, breast, and cervical cancer. Methods: This was a cross-sectional survey-based US study, including men and women aged 18+ from the Health Information National Trends Survey (HINTS) database between 2017-2019. The primary endpoint was individual-reported prostate, breast, and cervical cancer screening and prevalence rates among heterosexual and LGB men and women. Multivariable logistic regression analyses assessed association of various covariates with undergoing screening and diagnosis of these cancers. Results: Overall, 4,441 and 6,333 heterosexual men and women, respectively, were compared to 225 and 213 lesbian/gay and bisexual men and women, respectively. Lesbians/gays and bisexuals were younger and less likely to be screened for prostate, breast, and cervical cancer than heterosexuals. A higher proportion of heterosexual women than lesbian and bisexual women were screened for cervical cancer with pap smears (95.36% vs. 90.48% and 86.11%, p = < 0.001) and breast cancer with mammograms (80.74% vs. 63.81% and 45.37%, p = < 0.001). Similarly, a higher proportion of heterosexual men than gay and bisexual men were screened for prostate cancer with PSA blood tests (41.27% vs. 30.53% and 27.58%, p = < 0.001). Conclusions: Lesbians/gays and bisexuals in the US may be less likely to undergo screening of sex-specific prevalent malignancies, including prostate, breast, and cervical cancer. Healthcare professionals should be encouraged to improve cancer screening among lesbians/gays and bisexuals.

Abstract:

Research on lesbian health and health care is very limited, but is beginning to increase. Evidence of limited access to care, homophobic attitudes of health care professionals, and expected or actual negative experiences in interactions with health care professionals help to explain why lesbians are less likely than other women to seek health care. Lesbians have many of the same physical health needs that other women do, but the most prevalent topics on which research could be found were screening for breast and cervical cancer, sexually transmitted infections (STIs), and HIV. More research has been conducted in areas related to mental health, such as stress, use of therapy, alcohol abuse and recovery, and violence. The chief conclusion from this review is that there is a need for all types of research in all areas of lesbian health.

Abstract:

This study assessed the effects of short- and long-term mating contexts on preferences for body characteristics of potential relationship partners in lesbians and heterosexual women. Lesbians ( n = 41) rated figure drawings and computer-generated images of women that varied in body fat, waist-to-hip ratio, and breast size; heterosexual women ( n = 95) rated computer-generated images of men that varied in muscularity and body fat. Both lesbians and heterosexual women showed a shift in preferences toward more physically attractive partners for short-term relationships. All body aspects were affected, except that heterosexual women did not show a preference shift for male body fat. The results were interpreted in terms of a mating trade-off strategy in which mate preferences are the consequence of cost/benefit analyses and suggest that preferences for physical attributes of sexual partners may be shared by members of the same sex regardless of sexual orientation.

Abstract:

Background: While breast cancer among women in general has been well studied, little is known about breast cancer in sexual minority women (SMW). Aside from being at an increased risk for development of, and mortality from, breast cancer compared to their heterosexual counterparts, there is a growing collection of literature that suggests that SMW experience breast cancer differently to heterosexual women. Methods: Qualitative study of both straight and lesbian women with a diagnosis of breast cancer. Focus groups were conducted to assess straight and SMW experiences pertaining to perceived barriers, resources/support from partners as well as attitudes pertaining to breast reconstruction. Results: A sample of 15 participants (10 straight and 5 lesbian women) were included in the present study. Focus group themes focused on support, wishes for support, satisfaction with inclusion of partner, fear, perceived discrimination, quality of life, body image, treatment delay, financial concern, frustration with the system, reconstruction, access to information, and attitudes towards cancer diagnosis. A majority of women in both groups chose to undergo breast reconstruction. Conclusion: In our study, SMW experienced their breast cancer treatment through a uniquely supportive and positive lens, often with higher relationship satisfaction and better self-image when compared to straight women.

Abstract:

This review of the extant literature suggests that the examination of homophobia, heterosexism and gay/lesbian identities in sport remains a topic of analysis for very few scholars. In addition, there may be debate whether articles relative to masculinity and femininity, traditional gender role constructions, gender relations and the social construction of sport and sport as masculine culture should be included. Despite the narrowness or breadth of topics considered, homophobia, a weapon of sexism and hegemonic masculinity (and femininity) becomes a powerful resistance to patriarchy and male domination. The review begins with definitions of homophobia and moves to research and discussions that focus more directly on homophobia in sport and physical education. To present the breadth of topics that could be considered, additional sections include articles dealing with lesbianism in sport, heterosexism in sport, and a brief overview of homophobia in the popular press. Lack of theoretical frameworks, applications of theory and insufficient impirical evidence contribute to an uneveness in the literature and make it difficult to draw specific conclusions.

Abstract:

Abstract To assess engagement with transgender breast health among radiology investigators and providers, we analyzed: (1) trends in medical research regarding transgender breast health, and (2) breast imaging practices’ websites, for inclusion of the word transgender and mention of services specifically for transgender patients. We viewed the analyses of both research articles and general websites as two real-world measures of engagement among the professional community, in contrast to surveys whose responses rely on the compliance of recipients. A PubMed search performed for the text words transgender breast cancer, Lesbian-Gay-Bisexual-Transgender (LGBT) breast cancer, and transgender breast imaging. Our search yielded 48 unique relevant publications from 2010–2019. While research publications regarding transgender breast health have been become more numerous since 2015, it is still a relatively small field of study. Websites were analyzed for mention of transgender breast health needs and were reviewed for gender-neutral language and design. Of the 20 breast imaging centers listed as top choices by a national consumer group in 2019, none of their websites included the term transgender. Likewise, of the 21 centers in New York City and in San Francisco listed using the Google search engine, none included the term transgender. Despite its growing importance, issues related to transgender breast imaging are not well addressed in the radiology literature or in the radiology community, even though more transgender patients are presenting to breast centers for imaging. Radiologists need to be aware of imaging recommendations for these patients and display sensitivity to specific patient concerns.

Abstract:

Surnaming practices are a case study of change and continuity in patrilineal conventions in families and also alert us to the challenges of negotiating familial identities in an era of family diversity. Using data from two Australian sources, 430,753 Victorian birth registrations and 43 in-depth interviews with heterosexual and lesbian parents, we explore continuity and breaks with convention in surnaming children. For married and unmarried heterosexual couples, the dominant surnaming practice was for children to take their father’s name. By contrast, several surnaming strategies were more popular among lesbian couples including: using hyphenated or double-barrelled surnames, using the birth or non-birth mother’s surname or creating a new name for the family. Despite these differences, we contend that through their surnaming decisions both lesbian and heterosexual couples are concerned with displaying the legitimacy of their parental relationships to extended family and institutional audiences. For unmarried heterosexual couples, surnames display ‘intact’ families and paternal commitment whereas for lesbian couples the legitimacy concern is the recognition of the same-sex couple as parents.

Abstract:

190 Background: Breast cancer survivors face physical, psychological, medical, social, cultural and spiritual challenges. Services to address these needs are frequently not available or if available unknown. We sought to determine whether formation of a community-based comprehensive breast cancer survivorship program was feasible. Methods: After months of relationship building, the Women’s Breast Health Fund of the Community Foundation of Greater Birmingham (CFGB), awarded funding to support a systematic assessment of available services in the region. Survivors, their loved ones, providers and other national models of care were surveyed and interviewed. Focus groups including a Lesbian, Bisexual, Gay, Transgender, Queer (LGBTQ) group were held. Aggregated results were presented in monthly meetings to executive level hospital administrators from all health systems in the area, the UAB School of Nursing and CFGB. Results: Survivors seek advice from other survivors more than any other source. Gaps in services exist. Breast cancer survivors were often unaware of existing services. Services were not available to some cultural/ethnic groups or loved ones; staff of some services were not culturally sensitive to the needs of survivors. Some services were available to all, while others require payment. There was no source of authoritative, evidence-based information on breast cancer survivorship except for a few providers. After 12 months the group of executives from all health systems committed to support the formation of a community-based comprehensive breast cancer survivorship program designed to assist breast cancer survivors, their loved ones and institutions by providing reliable information about services. Conclusions: Breast cancer survivors, providers, and local health systems all support the development of a comprehensive breast cancer survivorship program. We feel that it will address unmet needs of breast cancer survivors, allowing each institution to address needs for individual patients. By using the breast cancer survivorship program to assess individual needs and to provide information about services for identified needs, we expect repetitive services will be reduced and quality of life for breast cancer survivors will improve.

Abstract:

Although mastectomy could lead to a decrease in sexual performance among patients, only a handful of studies focused on the psychological and sexual behavioral aspects after the surgery. Research on post-mastectomy sexuality has focused mainly on female subjects but barely on lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer (LGBTQ), and male patients. This narrative review aimed to explore the importance of sexuality after mastectomy from a LGBTQ perspective. Each sexual minority group has been addressed individually. In general, sexual and gender minority breast cancer (BC) patients undergoing bilateral mastectomy expect a complex treatment plan in terms of physical and emotional outcomes. Bilateral mastectomy or top surgery for masculinization reasons was reported to be the most popular procedure among transmen, which resulted in a significant improvement in the quality of life. Heterosexual and lesbian female patients are willing to undergo mastectomy after repeated lumpectomies or to avoid radiation, despite potential post-operative somatic and quality-of-life complications. Transwomen would seek gender-affirming surgery to improve physical satisfaction and psychological well-being. There is not enough evidence for non-oncological reasons and consequences of mastectomy in gay men and cisgender heterosexual men. Establishing the awareness of the sexuality impact of mastectomy will allow the implementation of tailored perioperative psychological care.

Abstract:

Given the immense mobilizing power possessed by the rhetoric of nationalism, as well as the many resources which can be tapped by groups which successfully establish national claims, it is not surprising that we have recently seen such a resurgence in nationalist discourse. One of the things which may surprise us, however, is the growing breadth in the types of groups which now launch such claims. No longer is the discourse of nationalism limited to use by ethnic groups and territorial populations. Recently it has come to be deployed by groups which we would normally tend to look upon as social movements. There has been a growing realization of the way in which constituencies such as Blacks, gays and lesbians, Chicano/as, and so on, make up distinct peoples, with cultures, public institutions, dialects, tastes, and social practices that set them off from the people or peoples around them.

Abstract:

This paper compares two hockey-related breast-flashing events that occurred in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. The first was performed by Calgary Flames fans, the ‘Flamesgirls’, in the 2004 NHL Stanley Cup final, and the second flashing event occurred when members and fans of the Booby Orr hockey team participated in lifting their shirts and jerseys at a lesbian hockey tournament at the 2007 Outgames/Western Cup held in Calgary. We deploy an analysis of visual psychic economies to highlight psychoanalytic framings of masculinized and feminized subject positions in both heteronormative and lesbigay-coded sporting spaces. We suggest there is a queer twist to the Booby Orr flashing context, which we read as disruptive and potentially resistive. The paper ends by turning to Avery Gordon’s (1997) Ghostly Matters, to consider how even in its queer transgression, the Booby Orr flashing scene is simultaneously haunted and saturated by the absent presence of colonial technologies of visuality and sexual violence. It is argued that in this case, openings for transgressive gender dynamics might be imaginable—even as those logics themselves are disciplined and perhaps made possible through racialized colonial framings of appropriate desire.

Abstract:

Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Queer (LGBTQ) Studies and the broader discipline of sexuality studies are multidisciplinary fields that require a different approach to collection development in academic libraries. Many library collections budgets reflect the traditional divisions by academic department, and multidisciplinary fields often transcend these conventional boundaries. The concept of one selector for one department, while being a well-established and practical approach to collection building, is limited in breadth and scope and is not necessarily suitable for multidisciplinary fields. This study uses citation analysis to assess the LGBTQ collection at Concordia University Libraries, to ascertain collection strengths and weaknesses, and to recommend collaborative collection development as a viable method of building an excellent collection in a multidisciplinary subject area.

Abstract:

The novel The Night Watch（2006）by Sarah Waters, a contemporary British novelist, tells the story of four women whose fortunes were intertwined before and after World War II. By Judith Butler’s theory of gender performativity, this paper analyzes the wartime female images in the novel. Women’ s wartime drag subverts the binary opposition of people’s presupposed notion about sex and women’ s occupation of men’ job that breaks the fictitious perception of gender opposition; the lesbian love affairs challenge the compulsory heterosexuality. Through the interpretations of the feminist thoughts conveyed by Waters in The Night Watch and Butler’s theory of gender performativity, it can be discovered that the nature of gender identity is actually fictional and can be constructed, reflecting the appeal for gender equality.

Abstract:

e19038 Background: Health related quality of life (HRQoL) is associated with excess morbidity and mortality after cancer diagnosis. While a growing body of research indicates that sexual minority women (lesbian and bisexual women; SMW) experience greater risk for cancer diagnoses and cancer-related mortality, there is a paucity of evidence describing HRQoL in this population. This is a critical omission as assessment of sexual orientation differences in HRQoL may inform clinical interventions to improve health and survival of SMW after cancer diagnosis. This study examined associations between sexual orientation and HRQoL domains among female cancer survivors. Methods: Data from the 2013-2018 National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) was pooled. HRQoL was defined using individual indices across physical health, mental health, social, and financial domains. The association between sexual orientation and individual indices of HRQoL was assessed using weighted multivariable logistic regression analyses. Results: The sample included 97909 heterosexual, 1424 lesbian, and 1235 bisexual women who reported a cancer diagnosis. Sexual minority women were more likely to be college graduates (p < 0.001) and employed (p < 0.001); however, they had higher rates of being uninsured (p = 0.01) than their heterosexual counterparts. Reproductive cancers—including breast, ovarian, cervical, and uterine—accounted for 51% of cancer diagnoses in heterosexual women and 57.2% in SMW (p = 0.06). Sexual minority and heterosexual women had more similarities than differences in individual indices of HRQoL; however, several pertinent differences were noted. Specifically, SMW had higher odds of moderate (OR 1.46 [1.01-2.13]) and severe psychological distress (OR 2.10 [1.17-3.77]); chronic health conditions, including COPD (OR 1.72 [1.06-2.80]) and heart disease (OR 1.93 [1.32-2.83]); financial concerns about retirement (OR 1.36 [1.01-1.83]); food insecurity (OR 2.13 [1.23-3.68]), and severe food insecurity (OR 2.44 [1.28-4.67]). Conclusions: Sexual minority women with cancer diagnoses report worse indices of HRQoL. Poorer HRQoL may influence excess morbidity and mortality evidenced in these populations; however, future longitudinal studies are needed to assess prospective risk. Given our results, implementing interventions in the cancer setting to identify sexual minority patients in need of physical and mental health and financial services may reduce disparities.

Abstract:

Purpose To address gaps in evidence on the risk of cancer in people from sexual minorities. Patients and Methods We used data from 796,594 population-based English General Practice Patient Survey responders to explore the prevalence of self-reported diagnoses of cancer in the last 5 years among sexual minorities compared with heterosexual women and men. We analyzed data from 249,010 hospital-based English Cancer Patient Experience Survey responders with sexual orientation as a binary outcome, and International Classification of Diseases, Tenth, Revision, diagnosis as covariate—38 different common and rarer cancers, with breast and prostate cancer as baseline categories for women and men, respectively—to examine whether people from sexual minorities are over- or under-represented among different cancer sites. For both analyses, we used logistic regression, stratified by sex and adjusted for age. Results A diagnosis of cancer in the past 5 years was more commonly reported by male General Practice Patient Survey responders who endorsed gay or bisexual orientation compared with heterosexual men (odds ratio [OR], 1.31; 95% CI, 1.15 to 1.49; P < .001) without evidence of a difference between lesbian or bisexual compared with heterosexual women (OR, 1.14; 95% CI, 0.94 to 1.37; P = .19). For most common and rarer cancer sites (30 of 33 in women, 28 of 32 in men), the odds of specific cancer site diagnosis among Cancer Patient Experience Survey respondents seemed to be independent of sexual orientation; however, there were notable differences in infection-related (HIV and human papillomavirus [HPV]) cancers. Gay or bisexual men were over-represented among men with Kaposi’s sarcoma (OR, 48.2; 95% CI, 22.0 to 105.6), anal (OR, 15.5; 95% CI, 11.0 to 21.9), and penile cancer (OR, 1.8; 95% CI, 0.9 to 3.7). Lesbian or bisexual women were over-represented among women with oropharyngeal cancer (OR, 3.2; 95% CI, 1.7 to 6.0). Conclusion Large-scale evidence indicates that the distribution of cancer sites does not vary substantially by sexual orientation, with the exception of some HPV- and HIV-associated cancers. These findings highlight the importance of HPV vaccination in heterosexual and sexual minority populations.

Abstract:

The article examines the problems of legislative regulation of liability for violent sexual crimes and the qualification of such offences. The author states that Russian criminal law is ambiguous in its understanding of such categories as sexual intercourse, lesbian and gay homosexual acts. The content of other actions of sexual nature also poses questions. The analysis of criminal law norms protecting the sexual freedom of a person, as well as the analysis of court and investigation reports, showed that some criteria of differentiating liability for these crimes are not well-grounded. A systemic approach to examining the norms of Chapter 18 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (CC of the RF) revealed the following problems. The current version of the CC of the RF does not penalize a violent sexual act if its victim is male. The use of violence by a woman against a man during a sexual intercourse is not covered by Art. 132 of the CC of the RF, because other sexual acts, according to law, are sexual acts that are not sexual intercourse, lesbian or gay homosexual acts. Simultaneous existence of actus reus under Art. 131 and 132 of the CC of the RF, according to the principle of legality, should prevent from charging for rape under Art. 131 only. Human sexuality requires, as a rule, that sexual intercourse should be accompanied by other acts of sexual nature (forced kissing, masturbation, impact on breasts or other sexual acts) aimed at achieving sexual arousal and satisfaction, which, under Art. 17 of the CC of the RF, constitutes a combination of offences. The differentiation of liability for various acts of sexual nature under Art. 131 and 132 of the CC of the RF violates the principle of justice. If there is a sequence of violent sexual acts (for example, oral and anal penetration with the use of violence), these actions are qualified only pursuant to Art. 132 of the CC of the RF. If there is a violent sexual intercourse and some other act of sexual nature, these actions are punished as multiple offenses. The author uses doctrinal views, analysis of current legislation and the practice of its enforcement to suggest a solution for the described problems.

Abstract:

This article reviews the scholarship on Cold War sexuality issues prior to the 1969 Stonewall riots, paying particular attention to recent books by Robert J. Corber, Michael S. Sherry, and Jennifer V. Evans. The Cold War in the West affected both the lived and the discursive realities of sexual minorities in a paradoxical way. On the one hand, anxieties about the superpower rivalry facilitated regulatory frameworks and social demarcation lines that profoundly circumscribed the agency of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender groups and individuals. On the other hand, these borders and regulatory systems often backfired, subverted their intended function, or simply produced unintended consequences. Although repression of non-normative sexual and gender identities remained a fact of life during the first two-and-a half decades of the Cold War, it does not reveal the totality of the Cold War experience. The current research on Cold War sexualities demonstrates that Cold War culture can thus be best understood as a complex system in which fissures and breaks were as salient as the demand for uniformity and control.

Abstract:

Abstract In contemporary cultural scenes saturated by ‘intermediality’ and ‘transmediality’, adaptation studies have challenged the distinction and hierarchy between the source and its adaptation, the author and the reader-spectator, and a variety of genres and media. While early critics of adaptation studies centred on fidelity criticism, recently Linda Hutcheon breaks free from literary elitism and emphasizes how stories, ‘like genes’, adapt to new environments ‘by virtue of mutation’. Hutcheon argues, ‘the fittest [stories] do more than survive; they flourish’ in today’s fierce competition for ‘cultural selection’. This postmodernist notion of adaptation as proliferation, however, remains curiously reticent about the ‘value’ of such proliferation. My article argues that in the era of textual proliferation, adaptation has an ethical responsibility to voice the story of the socially and sexually ‘unfit’. I then analyse The Handmaiden as a failed attempt at this ethical project. Directed by Chan-wook Park, a South Korean auteur, The Handmaiden borrows from Sarah Waters’ Fingersmith (2002), a novel about female romantic friendship in nineteenth-century England. Although Park’s visually stunning film epitomizes the indigenization of the ‘fittest’ story, its graphic portrayal of lesbian sex and change of setting leaves the question of sexual objectification of Asian women and Japanese colonization unanswered.

Abstract:

Purpose: A significant and growing body of LGBTQ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer) research examines the experiences of students, employees, and the substance of leadership training. This project aims to complement this work by taking a macro-level look at the broader legal and policy issues that may constrain or enhance a school district leader’s ability to promote LGBTQ inclusion. Through an examination LGBTQ issues, this article will explore the relationship between various sources of legal authority and the role of law in policy implementation. Method: This article employs legal research methodology to illuminate the breadth of the law affecting LGBTQ issues in schools. Findings: The impact of law on education policy and practice is far-reaching and complex. LGBTQ law is composed of many intersecting sources of legal authority. This article argues that legal literacy is more than a tool that can be used to avoid legal liability; it can be used as a proactive advocacy tool to promote social justice and LGBTQ inclusion. Implications: Educational leaders, researchers, and leadership preparation programs need to be aware of the ways in which the law can hinder or support social justice leadership. As such, this article includes implications for research, policy, practice, and leadership preparation.

Abstract:

131 Background: Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender (LGBT) individuals make up an estimated 4% of the population, qualifying them as a sexual minority. LGBT individuals are also more likely to be a racial or gender minority, to live in poverty, and to have less social support than their heterosexual peers. LGBT populations are disproportionately affected by mental health issues such as depression, which are correlated not only with behavioral risk factors, but with less likelihood to comply with healthcare screening or treatment. Approximately 30% of LGBT adults do not seek health care services or lack a regular health care provider, compared with 10% of heterosexuals. Research studies demonstrate that knowledge about increased risks and need for screening is low in LGBT populations. Sub-populations are less likely to have had a recent mammogram, anal or cervical Pap, or a prostate exam. Methods: We implemented a population-oriented program into our community outreach team in 2019 to address LGBT cancer disparities. A program manager partnered with community resources and leaders, including the Cleveland LGBT Community Center, Plexus LGBT Chamber of Commerce, and Trans Ohio. First year programming included a mammogram clinic for sexual/gender minority (SGM) women, “Cancer is a DRAG” show, and a tobacco-free campaign for LGBT pride month. Results: Creating meaningful partnerships was extremely important to community leaders and organizations. Strategic plans include direct community input and engagement through a community council, in conjunction with the LGBT Community Center, a breast cancer awareness campaign, in conjunction with local entertainers, and a tobacco cessation program, through our Center for LGBT Care. We educated over 150 people and screened over 85 within the first year. Conclusions: When our healthcare institution met local LGBT people within their community, the result was quite impactful. This pilot program proved successful at educating members of the community about their increased cancer risk, which resulted in higher cancer screening rates for LGBT people. More programs tailored to LGBT-specific health concerns are important to continue reaching these populations and eventually decrease health disparities in the community.

Abstract:

Background: LGBTQ* (lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, and queer) older adults are demographically diverse and growing populations. In an earlier 25-year review of the literature on sexual orientation and aging, we identified four waves of research that addressed dispelling negative stereotypes, psychosocial adjustment to aging, identity development, and social and community-based support in the lives of LGBTQ older adults. Objectives: The current review was designed to develop an evidence base for the field of LGBTQ aging as well as to assess the strengths and limitations of the existing research and to articulate a blueprint for future research. Methods: Using a life course framework, we applied a systematic narrative analysis of research on LGBTQ aging. The review included 66 empirical peer-reviewed journal articles (2009–2016) focusing on LGBTQ adults aged 50 years and older, as well as age-based comparisons (50 years and older with those younger). Results: A recent wave of research on the health and well-being of LGBTQ older adults was identified. Since the prior review, the field has grown rapidly. Several findings were salient, including the increased application of theory (with critical theories most often used) and more varied research designs and methods. While existing life course theory provided a structure for the investigation of the social dimensions of LGBTQ aging, it was limited in its attention to intersectionality and the psychological, behavioral, and biological work emerging in the field. There were few studies addressing the oldest in these communities, bisexuals, gender non-binary older adults, intersex, older adults of color, and those living in poverty. Conclusions: The Iridescent Life Course framework highlights the interplay of light and environment, creating dynamic and fluid colors as perceived from different angles and perspectives over time. Such an approach incorporates both queering and trans-forming the life course, capturing intersectionality, fluidity over time, and the psychological, behavioral, and biological as well as social dimensions of LGBTQ aging. Work is needed that investigates trauma, differing configurations of risks and resources over the life course, inequities and opportunities in representation and capital as LGBTQ adults age, and greater attention to subgroups that remain largely invisible in existing research. More depth than breadth is imperative for the field, and multilevel, longitudinal, and global initiatives are needed.
