As much as six percent of the Americans--about 15,000,000 Americans--are gay, lesbian, or bisexuals.
The American Medical Women's Association (AMWA), the 12,000-member association of female physicians, passed, without opposition, a policy statement urging an end to discrimination by sexual orientation. Moreover, AMWA encouraged: "national, state, and local legislation to end discrimination based on sexual orientation in housing, employment, marriage and tax laws, child custody and adoption laws; to redefine family to encompass the full diversity of all family structures; and to ratify marriage for lesbian, gay and bisexual people . . . creation and implementation of educational programs . . . in the schools, religious institutions, medical community, and the wider community to teach respect for all humans."
