Option 1: LGBTQ+ Health Communication Topic 1
This section will include an overview/important aspects of each group member's topic. The topics I noticed within my Communication Studies journal article include gender identity, LGBTQ+ youth, sexual orientation, and Latina youth sexuality. The topic focus would be on Latina youth sexuality and how that pertains to health equities. This topic would be important to include because it revolves around intersectionality which is an important concept that the readers should know more about. This topic is also important because it can demonstrate the healthcare experiences of Latina youth who identify with the LGBTQ+ community in today's society. I would like to include Fiddian-Green et al. (2016) because it is a Communication Studies journal that focuses on intersectionality and healthcare. Intersectionality is something that I find very important because it can vary from person to person and healthcare is always changing so it is important to maintain quality improvement within healthcare organizations which includes improving the experiences of the LGBTQ+ community. I believe we could link our writing to a Wiki article on health disparities because the topic I describe talks about the health disparities Latino/a LGBTQ+ people experience so it would be good to connect these experiences to the experiences of those apart of the LGBTQ+ community as a whole. I would recommend we link to the LGBT health disparities.

Option 2: LGBTQ+ Health Communication Topic 2
The topic focus would be on providing affirming healthcare (breast cancer screenings) for people who identify as transgender. This topic would be important to include because it focuses on providing positive and inclusive healthcare for people who do not identify as cisgender. The study/topic is focused on creating an inclusive environment within healthcare organizations for members of the LGBTQ+ community (Transgender people). I would like to include Peters et al. (2021) because as mentioned before the article describes the need for inclusion while providing a safe and comfortable environment for transgender people who need to get screened for breast cancer. Peters et al. (2021) also mentions that there is a lack of information/evidence on the risks of breast cancer for those who do not identify as cisgender. Peters et al. (2021) can add a better understanding of the healthcare needs and experiences of those who are a part of the LGBTQ+ community. The topic/ research article I chose explains the need for affirming healthcare for transgender. I could link this to and recommend Transgender health care to expand the knowledge of readers on the need and importance of gender-affirming healthcare.

Option 3: LGBTQ+ Organizational Communication Topic 3
This section will include the topic of organizational communication within the LGBTQ+ community. More specifically LGBTQ+ organizational policies, organizing, organizational workers, sex work, and economic justice. The topic focus that should be in this section is the student organizing of the LGBTQ+ community on or within a college campus. This topic would be important to include because it focuses on a certain demographic (college students) that identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender. I would like to include Meyer (2004) because this study identifies the key tensions that can influence the formation and maintenance of organizations on college campuses. These tensions can provide challenges for organizations but also be beneficial for future LGBTQ+ organizations across many college campuses. I would recommend we link to the LGBT rights organization page. We can provide a perfect example of the right to organize on/within a college campus which would contribute to the history of LGBTQ right to organize page under the section about organizing in the 21st century.
