“…). However, lesbian and bisexual health needs fall outside of this heterosexualised ‘umbrella’ of women's health (Goldberg ). Failure to delineate LBW's health from women's health has resulted in limited research that explores issues from LBW's perspectives (Williams ).…”

“…Since this study with childbearing lesbians was completed, an improved policy climate and increased awareness of LGBT issues have emerged to shape Canadian health care for LGBT people. However, these findings continue to resonate with more recent research within North American and beyond that identifies gaps in service provider consideration of lesbians and their reproductive health (Arita, 2008;Goldberg, 2005, Hayman, Wilkes, Halcomb, & Jackson, 2013Hequembourg, 2007;McManus, Hunter, & Renn, 2006;Rohndahl, Bruner & Lindhe, 2009;Rickard, 2013).…”

Lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people have historically, and continue today to encounterbarriers to accessing health services. This has been attributed to the well-documented heterosexism,homophobia, biphobia, and transphobia that shape all health and social institutions. In this paper,invitational theory offers insight into the challenges faced by a childbearing lesbian couple to accesssupportive health care, and sheds light on inequities faced by LGBT people when accessing health care inCanada. The author draws on critical feminist research and invitational concepts to build an understandingof four dimensions of this couple’s access to supportive care. The invitational approach is combined withan explicitly critical stance to highlight gender and other relations of power, and to provide a theoreticalrationale for incorporating invitational concepts into equity-related research, including a currentapplication focused on improving LGBT home care access in the Canadian context. Given the deeplyembedded structural inequities that hinder the creation of intentionally inviting environments for diversegroups, this research has implications both for shedding light on areas in need of health care accessresearch, as well as for integrating invitational approaches that align with critical pedagogies into healthcare education.

“…Several participants reported that they encountered no issues recording queer relationships on intake forms (such as Rebecca, a married lesbian participant). However, others remarked that some documentation continues to lack the space for queer relationships and identities-a problem that has been documented by various researchers (Dysart-Gale, 2010;Goldberg, 2005;Röndahl, Bruhner, & Lindhe, 2009;Spinks, Andrews, & Boyle, 2000;Stevens, 1995). Jennifer, a lesbian woman, notes that her partner was identified as "friend" on her intake form at the emergency room.…”

“…To date, researchers have pointed out that posters, pamphlets, and magazines in waiting rooms, offices, birthing units, or clinics are often heterosexist (Goldberg, 2005;McDonald, McIntyre, & Anderson, 2003;Röndahl, Innala, & Carlsson, 2006;Stevens, 1995). Several of the participants in the research we conducted were particularly attentive to the orientation of such objects and others in the health care space.…”

Queer phenomenology as an interpretive framework can advance health research by illuminating why primary health care providers (HCPs) must move beyond definitions of sexuality as a set of reified identity formations indexed to normative gender, gender of partner, and sexual and reproductive practices. Our interviews with queer women participants and primary care nurses offer an implicit critique of heteronormative health care space, temporality, and power relations, as they form the lived experiences of our participants. We conclude by pointing to the limits of our methodology in exposing the larger relations of power that dictate experiences of heteronormative health care.
