While nurses address lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgendered, intersexed, and queer (henceforth LGBTIQ) patients' health needs, the professional nursing practice value of social justice provides a larger role for nurses in identifying and minimizing social barriers faced by LGBTIQ patients.
This paper examines the social and health-related experiences of LGBTIQ youth in Canada, a country which has removed many of the social and legal barriers faced by LGBTIQ in countries such as the United States. An awareness of the Canadian LGBTIQ experience is instructive for nurses in different countries, as it reveals both the possibilities and limitations of social legislation that is more inclusive of LGBTIQ youth.
Review of literature in PubMed, Academic Search Premier, government documents.
The literature reveals that exclusion, isolation, and fear remain realities for Canadian LGBTIQ adolescents. The Canadian experience suggests that negative social attitudes toward LGBTIQ persist despite progressive legislation. The value of social justice positions nurses to constructively intervene in promoting the health and well-being of LGBTIQ youth in the face of social homophobia.
当护士满足女同性恋、男同性恋、双性恋、跨性别者、双性人及酷儿（以下简称LGBTIQ）患者的健康需求时，社会正义这一专业护理实践价值观为护士在识别和减少LGBTIQ患者所面临的社会障碍方面发挥更大作用提供了契机。
本文探讨加拿大LGBTIQ青年的社会及与健康相关的经历。加拿大消除了许多LGBTIQ群体在美国等国家所面临的社会和法律障碍。了解加拿大LGBTIQ群体的经历对不同国家的护士具有指导意义，因为它揭示了更包容LGBTIQ青年的社会立法的可能性和局限性。
对PubMed、学术搜索高级版中的文献以及政府文件的综述。
文献表明，排斥、孤立和恐惧仍是加拿大LGBTIQ青少年面临的现实情况。加拿大的经历表明，尽管有进步的立法，但对LGBTIQ群体的负面社会态度依然存在。社会正义价值观使护士能够在面对社会恐同现象时，积极干预以促进LGBTIQ青年的健康和福祉。
