The Impact of Current and Proposed Funding Cuts on the LGBTQ+ Communities in Delaware, with a Focus on Sussex County

Sharon A Morgan. Dela J Public Health. .

Abstract

In spite of the apparent tolerance in Delaware for those who identify as LGBTQ+, these communities still face enormous challenges related to visibility, acceptance, and fair access and treatment across healthcare and social settings. These challenges will undoubtedly be exacerbated by current federal budget cuts, although the extent to which the degradation of rights won will become permanent remains unknown.
