For decades, we have known that lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, nonbinary, and gender queer (LGBTQ+) people experience excess morbidity and mortality compared to their heterosexual and/or cisgender counterparts. 1, 2 People who are LGBTQ+ often have difficulty accessing needed health services, receive lower quality of care, and face bias and discrimination during patient-provider interactions. 3–6 Despite the call for more research to understand and address inequities in health and health care, 2 these inequities persist and may have even widened. 7, 8 At the same time, the United States is immersed in conversations in both the public and policy spheres about gender and sexuality—from the effective end of the national right to abortion care to banning access to gender-affirming health care for youth. At the center of these conversations are shifting understandings of gender and sexuality.This commentary calls for queering health services research in order to move the conversation forward in understanding and addressing the health needs of the LGBTQ+ population, who have historically been marginalized in health services research. Queering, as a verb, means to question taken-for-granted categories of gender, sex, and sexual orientation. Queering health services research also includes reconceptualizing methodology and practices in order to center people who have been most marginalized.
