Not particularly—we lived in Brunswick for a long time, so it's all more or less the same kind of area really. Sydney Road shops, trams and lots of Arabic food.

This popped up on my twitter feed and has got me wondering because I can see/imagine how Trans and Intersexed(hermaphrodites) people would require specialized medical services but what would the difference be between gay men and women and hetro men and women?
Am I a troglodyte living in the 70's?
Would a gay man's "issues" be any different to say a greek womans if you know what I mean without being too crass? 
Or to give equal time a gay woman's issues be any different to a Nuns?

From what I understand, it's a response to a (probably justified) fear amongst some LGBTI people that some doctors may still be prejudiced and accordingly treat them unprofessionally or offer judgemental/unsatisfactory advice. Whether or not this kind of thing is prevalent nowadays, this suggestion appears to be a way to ensure that LGBTI people can feel confident in seeing a doctor and be less likely to skip medical appointments.
There are also sexual health issues that may be more specific to gay men or women.

Please explain!
Do they get a different strain of VD to Hetrosexuals? |

Obviously anal sex (which not all male-male couples practice, of course) is more common among gay couples than straight couples, and the specifics of female-female sex are different again. It's not like we're talking two disparate categories, just issues that will generally be a little more prevalent in one than the other.

I'm hearing what 1061 is saying on this. Apart from mental health issues, I really don't see how there's anything unique that needs doctors focused on their issues.
Anal sex is anal sex whether the recipient is male, female or other. There's only so many things that can happen that a proctologist couldn't deal with.
FIIK what medical issues lesbians could have that straight women wouldn't.
Whole thing sounds a little precious to me. Want to be treated the same when it suits and want to be treated different when it suits. I'd be surprised if many LGBTI people actually supported this stuff.

But quite rare between lesbian couples, I understand.

I don't mean that there's anything particularly special about it, just that, I dunno, some gay men might feel uncomfortable going to an old Italian doctor and saying that they caught chlamydia from another man. Unless I've misunderstood, this just sounds a bit like an extension of that idea of putting rainbow flags on shop windows. Probably not a bad thing, but, as you say, probably not a matter of great urgency for a lot of queer people either. Just something that some people think might be helpful.

Now that's what I call a stiffy.

Weird. Kind of a victimless crime, though, isn't it?

Um. No. Desecrating a corpse is pretty disgusting, disrespectful, abuse of power in his job, oh and illegal.
How would you feel if it were your dead mother daughter sister girlfriend?
Victimless? No.

Prejudice and discrimination are no more to be tolerated in this domain than they are against gay, lesbian and transgender individuals. Progressive social attitudes toward the natural urge to have sex with dead bodies are long overdue.
