I'm a senior in the Social Work and Sociology Department
and in doing research for a paper, I found there is Jitlle information
that documents what lesbians actually experience concerning
health care in rural areas. My research wilJ document the specific
concerns of the lesbian community in Nebraska.
Please consider this as a way to make your opinion about
this issue heard to someone who cares about the answer. Your
name and anything that might identify you, will be kept confi-
