Global LGBTQ+ Health has just launched its inaugural collection!

The politicisation of gender-affirming care, particularly for young people, illustrates how moral panic (a product of disinformation) can contribute to restrictive, pathologising health policy and widening health inequalities. The persistence of efforts to “repair” or “convert” a minoritised sexual orientation or gender (identity, modality, or expression) demonstrates that attempts to oppress queer, trans, and non-binary identity and expression remain entrenched in institutions. Criminalising such practices must be a priority in the pursuit of queer, trans, and non-binary health justice.

The collection seeks submissions examining how structural, political, and medical forces shape health inequities affecting LGBTQ+ communities, alongside documenting harms, resistance, and community-led responses within intersecting systems of inequality.

The submission deadline is 22 February 2027.

This Collection supports and amplifies research related to SDG 3, Good Health and Well-Being, SDG 5, Gender Equality, SDG 10, Reduced Inequalities and SDG 16, Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions.

Who is involved?

The Associate Editors Dr Dean Connolly, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, UK, and Dr Michal Pitoňák, Charles University, Prague, Czechia.

How can I submit my paper?

Visit the Collection page for more information on how to submit your article.

Publication costs will be covered by Springer Nature until 31 December 2026. Authors whose articles are accepted for publication in the journal up to and including that date will not pay an article-processing charge.
