Breast cancer accounts for 12.5% of all new annual cancer cases worldwide, making it the most common cancer in the world.
Breast Cancer Awareness Month is drawing to a close, once again with no outreach to lesbians, bisexual and queer women. Yet it has been true for decades that LBQ women are at greater risk than their heterosexual peers. According to the American Cancer Society, “Lesbian and bisexual women may be at increased risk for breast, cervical and ovarian cancer compared to heterosexual women. Knowing about these cancers and what you can do to help prevent them or finding them early (when the cancer is small, has not spread, and might be easier to treat) may help save your life.”
These women are both at higher risk for breast cancer and have a lower likelihood of getting the same standard of care as their heterosexual peers. LBQ women often feel invisible in the discourse on breast cancer. The disparities in how LBQ women are treated by the healthcare system is an impediment to care and that can translate into lives lost.
Fear of discrimination is key. It remains difficult for many queer women to reveal to their health care providers their sexual orientation, because they fear discrimination will affect the quality of health care they receive. This can make an honest and open relationship with a health care provider fraught from the outset.
Fear of having a negative experience with a health care provider can also lead some women to delay or avoid medical care, especially routine care such as early detection tests.

Leonardo DiCaprio‘s “endless” ad-libs in Killers Of The Flower Moon left Martin Scorsese and Robert De Niro “rolling their eyes”, according to the director.Scorsese’s 26th film is based on the true story of the murder of more than 60 Native Americans in 1920s Oklahoma and stars De Niro and DiCaprio as an uncle and nephew plotting to steal the oil underneath the tribe’s land.DiCaprio is renowed for improvising his lines in films, but while filming the period piece, the actor apparently tested the patience of his co-star and director.His improvisations were “endless, endless, endless”, Scorsese told The Telegraph, while “Bob [De Niro] didn’t want to talk.”The 80-year-old director, who has made multiple films with both actors, said: “Every now and then, Bob and I would look at each other and roll our eyes a little bit. And we’d tell [DiCaprio]: ‘You don’t need that dialogue.’”This comes after Scorsese recently revealed that DiCaprio asked for a major overhaul of the film’s script two years into the writing process.While the film ended up being told from the perspective of the Osage tribe, that wasn’t the original plan.
