Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ+) cultural sensitivity in mental health care delivery within the USA is needed and can significantly impact the health and well-being of LGBTQ+ individuals (Mayer et al., 2008 ; Sekoni et al., 2017 ). Research shows that the LGBTQ+ community faces significant mental health disparities, such as increased risk for depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress, and substance use disorders compared to their cisgender–heterosexual counterparts (Ross et al., 2018 ; Wittgens et al., 2022 ). Given the outcome of the 2024 US presidential election and the wave of executive orders with anti-LGBTQ+ implications signed the first day in office, there is a potential for increased mental health challenges in the next four years as was revealed by data from a national probability sample of sexual minority adults that demonstrated evidence of worsening mental health and social well-being in the 17 months after Trump’s last term in office for Black and Latinx sexual minority people (Krueger et al., 2021 )
