| Abstrakt: | Two-Spirit, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer and other sexual and gender minority (2S/LGBTQ+) populations continue to experience profound health disparities. In this article, we prioritize five issues in 2S/LGBTQ+ health equity and discuss policy interventions to address disparities in each area: (1) poverty in 2S/LGBTQ+ communities; (2) Two-Spirit mental health; (3) health equity issues in migrant and racialized LGBTQ+ populations; (4) challenges in implementing bans on conversion therapy; and (5) the evolving context of gender-affirming care. Multi-level policy interventions, including those in healthcare-adjacent contexts such as housing and immigration, will be critical to address the structural undercurrents driving health inequities for 2S/LGBTQ+ populations. Recognizing growing complexity and political volatility in the lives of 2S/LGBTQ+ people across Canada, we challenge healthcare policy actors to recognize the breadth of structural barriers to 2S/LGBTQ+ health equity issues and act with urgency in this area.
