Lesbians and gays have suffered for centuries from stigmatization by homophobic, heterosexual people in Western society. It is critical for health care providers to have an understanding of alternative life-styles and the unique health concerns of homosexual people in order to provide sensitive and knowledgeable health care. Lesbian health issues such as assessing the sexual orientation of lesbians, parenting issues, lesbian battering, and the older lesbian woman are discussed. My intent in writing this article is to increase the sensitivity, knowledge, and awareness of health care providers caring for lesbians in a homophobic society.
几个世纪以来，女同性恋者和男同性恋者在西方社会一直遭受着恐同的异性恋者的污名化。医疗保健提供者了解另类生活方式以及同性恋者独特的健康问题，对于提供贴心且专业的医疗保健至关重要。本文讨论了女同性恋者的健康问题，如评估女同性恋者的性取向、育儿问题、女同性恋者遭受的暴力以及年长的女同性恋者等。我撰写本文的目的是提高在恐同社会中为女同性恋者提供护理的医疗保健提供者的敏感度、知识水平和认知度。
