LGBTQIA+ Communities, Pandemics, and Policy Responses

Connecting the Dots

About this book

In this groundbreaking volume, editor Wallace Swan and co-editors Chris R. Surfus and Dallas S. Drake assemble an impressive collection of scholarly perspectives examining the complex relationship between LGBTQIA+ communities and public health crises. From the AIDS epidemic of the 1980s to COVID-19 and Mpox, this comprehensive work analyzes how outbreaks, epidemics, and pandemics disproportionately impact marginalized populations and how institutional responses have evolved over time. Contributors explore the critical intersection of public health policy, social equity, and community resilience through a multidisciplinary lens.

Drawing on extensive research and firsthand experiences, the book reveals how LGBTQIA+ communities have mobilized in response to inadequate governmental action, creating their own support systems and advocacy networks. Chapters examine intersectional health disparities, the role of nonprofit organizations, bureaucratic responses, and the political dimensions of public health funding. By "connecting the dots" between multiple pandemics affecting LGBTQIA+ populations, the contributors provide a framework for understanding how social marginalization shapes health outcomes and how inclusive, evidence-based approaches can create more equitable responses to public health emergencies.

Highlighting both historical failures and emerging best practices in pandemic response, the book offers valuable insights for policymakers, healthcare professionals, and community advocates. It further stands as an essential resource for anyone seeking to understand the unique challenges faced by LGBTQIA+ communities during health crises and the path toward more just and effective public health systems.
