SOGIE-diverse inclusivity: An analysis of 2SLGBTQ+ representation on Ontario, Canada public health unit websites

In this website review, most PHUs offer some relevant information about and for SDCs; however, they also lacked in specific, SOGIE-relevant ways. While sexual health and mental health are pertinent concerns, this myopic view of relevant health concerns for SOGIE-diverse communities excludes holistic health conceptualizations and lacks nuanced understanding of SDCs' rich lived experiences. The implications of this work are to ensure that PHUs have mutual understanding of SOGIE-diversity related terms, and how they represent SDCs via their websites and the information and services offered for these communities. Ontario PHUs, especially through public-facing platforms such as websites, have a unique opportunity to educate both SDCs and the broader public. Clear, consistent, and collaborative communication can minimize inequitable health outcomes for these communities.
