Art 4 Health is an online art gallery dedicated to meeting the healthcare needs of gender and sexual minorities, featuring pieces from members of the LGBTQIA+ community and allies.
America’s current healthcare safety net is full of holes for members of the LGBTQIA+ community, thereby fueling the HIV/AIDS epidemic and further worsening health issues that disproportionately affect gender and sexual minorities. With the rollback of the Affordable Care Act’s anti-discrimination protections in June, it has become even more apparent that LGBTQIA+ rights are at risk. The protections that once prevented LGBTQIA+ Americans from being denied treatment due to their gender or sexual identity are now in danger.
The fight for our rights matters now more than ever. After the legalization of same-sex marriage, LGBTQIA+ advocacy and policy-making efforts have decreased rapidly. Today, the US is facing a wave of anti-LGBTQIA+ legislation. Meanwhile, millions of gender and sexual minorities lack access to adequate medical care. LGBTQIA+ bodies endure more hatred and discrimination while advocacy declines, further entrenching bigotry.
Art 4 Health is committed to making life healthier for members of LGBTQIA+ community, thus Art 4 Health has chosen to donate 100% of proceeds to The Fenway Institute (TFI). Your donation will help TFI continue to advocate and lobby for further change.
