ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT Sexual and gender minorities (SGMs) experience unique challenges when accessing sexuality and gender-affirming, safe health care services in the rural, southern United States. An identified gap in the literature is an intersectional, community-based approach to assessing the obstacles SGM individuals with intersecting identities experience when navigating comprehensive health services in rural southern communities in the United States; therefore, the present study used qualitative inquiry with an intersectional lens to describe these obstacles. The authors analyzed qualitative data from in-depth, semi-structured individual interviews with SGM individuals (N = 12). Common themes emerged that highlighted the compounding effects of the sociopolitical climate of the geographical area, religious attitudes toward SGMs, and the experience of racism. Findings of this study can inform health professions' academic curriculum, provider and support staff training, and implementation of policy that focuses on creating a diverse and inclusive health care delivery experience.
