Reports on LGBT health by government agencies, professional associations, and academic institutions provide evidence of the negative health impact of inequality and suggest the positive effects of community organization and activism.

These "gray literature" reports are excellent resources for clarifying the context of LGBT health and situating proposals for further research and clinical interventions.
