Further intersecting, historically marginalised identities such as one\u2019s race, age or ability exacerbate such engagement with healthcare, particularly the access to and use of reliable and appropriate health information. We explore the salience of one\u2019s queer identity relative to other embodied identities when navigating health information and care for themselves and their communities. Thirty semi-structured interviews with queer community leaders from South Carolina inform our discussion of the role one\u2019s queer visibility plays relational to the visibility of other identities. We find that leaders and their communities navigate these intersectional visibilities through unique and iterative approaches to health information seeking, sharing and use predicated upon anti-queer, racist, ableist and misogynistic sentiments. Findings can inform queer-inclusive, intersectionally informed interventions by health and information professionals such as non-profit advocacy organisations and medical librarians.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/01655515211040658","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,8,23]],"date-time":"2021-08-23T16:51:33Z","timestamp":1629737493000},"page":"1045-1059","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":18,"title":["\u2018Access necessitates being seen\u2019: Queer visibility and intersectional embodiment within the health information practices of queer community leaders"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"49","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6000-157X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Travis L","family":"Wagner","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Information Science, University of South Carolina, USA"}]},{"given":"Vanessa L","family":"Kitzie","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Information Science, University of South Carolina, USA"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,8,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-01655515211040658","unstructured":"Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
