The article points out that the nursing profession in the U.S. has been biased against homosexuality. As recently as 1969, nursing organizations have denounced gay men and women. Although this has stopped, it has been replaced by other discriminatory acts such as recruitment ads geared towards heterosexual men. The LGBT community is urged to use National Nurses Week on May 6-12, 2007 as a way to honor gay nurses.
