Many gay and lesbian couples are being denied participation in medical studies and research. The exact reasoning for this discrimination is unsure, but the New England Journal of Medicine stated that researchers need to be careful "when they develop exclusion criteria that are based on sexual orientation.”
Not only are they being refused from studies about sexual disorders, but they are being denied from studies about other disorders such as ADHD.
Although this is one of the least threatening issues that the GLBT community is facing right now, it is still perturbing that people are discriminating without justification.

Actually makes me think back to an article I read earlier today. It's not entirely related, but a good read to consider.
If you'd like to take a look, here's the link: http://www.pressdisplay.com/pressdisplay/showlink.aspx?bookmarkid=553R1VWYT6H5&preview=article&linkid=b6078343-3b6e-444e-928c-0bb668ac76a5&pdaffid=ZVFwBG5jk4Kvl9OaBJc5%2bg%3d%3d
