It's minority health month, but not for all minorities

http://health.state.tn.us/dmhde/mhcalendar.shtml

There's a whole month of activities surrounding minority health, but the state doesn't seem to recognize that the GLBT community has specific health issues.

Granted, there are events and activities focused on the HIV/AIDS crisis which has profoundly affected our community. But that is not the only health disparity we face and it is not one that only affects our community.

I think we pretty much got erased again.
