dc.description.abstractLesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ+) people have consistently been estimated to be disproportionately affected by suicidal ideation and suicide attempts when compared to their cisgender (non-transgender), heterosexual counterparts (di Giacomo et al., 2018; Marchi et al., 2022; Marshal et al., 2011; Surace et al., 2021). However, less is known about why this devastating health inequality exists, how it impacts on distinct communities within LGBTQ+ populations, and how it can be prevented. We call for research, policy, and practice networks to address these questions as a priority, within the context of a changing legislative landscape that has seen countries that previously hosted progressive legislation protecting LGBTQ+ rights slipping into the regressive habits of history. We write this editorial as LGBTQ+ early career researchers and their allies concerned that inaction at this time could further compound existing health inequalities with tragic consequences. In the following, we outline current challenges in the field, and suggest foundational building blocks on which a holistic, public health approach to LGBTQ+ suicide prevention could be developed.en
