Abstract
In the complex landscape of healthcare and advocacy, it is a sad reality that some voices are often drowned out or overlooked. Among those voices, one group that has been particularly marginalised is LGBTQ+ individuals living with dementia. As society takes steps towards inclusivity and acceptance, it is crucial that we address this issue and ensure that the unique challenges faced by this intersectional community are heard and acted upon. It is important to acknowledge that the LGBTQ+ community, already facing discrimination and stigmatisation, carries an additional burden when dementia enters the picture.
