Multiple sclerosis (MS) research has largely overlooked the experiences of the LGBTQ+ community, leaving significant gaps in understanding and addressing their unique health equity challenges. Despite widespread recognition of LGBTQ+ health disparities, particularly in neurology, research at the intersection of sexual orientation, gender identity, and MS remains limited. LGBTQ+ individuals encounter systemic barriers such as discrimination and lack of culturally competent care, exacerbating disparities in MS management and outcomes. Existing studies are scarce, highlighting the urgent need for increased funding and support for research initiatives. By prioritizing LGBTQ+ inclusivity in research, healthcare, and advocacy, we can strive for a more equitable future in MS care.

Understanding the disparate experiences and needs of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, and other sexual/gender minoritized (LGBTQI+) community is essential to ensure an inclusive environment for LGBTQI+ learners and colleagues and to provide equitable neurologic health care. Equity for LGBTQI+ neurologists and neurologic patients alike remains aspirational at a time when escalating anti-LGBTQI+ legislative and cultural climates are affecting the health of LGBTQI+ people. This is true across the United States and internationally. In line with the American Academy of Neurology's (AAN) mission to enhance member career fulfillment and promote brain health for all, the AAN is committed to supporting LGBTQI+ AAN members and to promoting equitable neurologic care for all LGBTQI+ people.
