• Resumen

  • The authors reflect on sexual orientation data collection policy in the U.S. They suggest that the greatest threat to LGBT Americans is a lack of data about their health and that the lack of data can be attributed to a lack of leadership at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. They argue that publicly funded health data sets which exclude sexual minorities can not be allowed and that the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention needs to collect data on sexual minorities.
