4.	Description	Abstract	Homosexuality is not a new issue in western medical literature; but an empathetic approach to it in the medical literature in India is a recent phenomenon. Equality in providing healthcare is not being practised, as evidenced by homophobia among doctors, more so in the Indian sub-continent where religious and social biases contribute to denying proper healthcare to the homosexual - as well as the lesbian, bisexual and transgender - community.
