Know your family health history.

Whether you are LGBT or not, your family health history is one of the most important things in determining your potential for future health problems.

This is particularly important for LGBT people who may already have elevated risk for certain diseases and often face financial, cultural and personal barriers when trying to access adequate healthcare.
