Cass Condray, an IBD researcher who also lives with an IBD, points out the lack of information and resources focused on the unique experiences of LGBTQ patients. Cass also talks about the significance of representation in research, and the impact that intersecting identities have on people's health outcomes. Plus, we talk about Cass' web site, PrideAndPoop.com, what his hopes are for the future, and what there is to do in Oklahoma. &amp;nbsp;  Find Cass Condray at:   Web: Pride and Poop   Bluesky: @cdalecondray.bsky.social   LinkedIn: Cass Condray   Google Scholar: Cass Dale Condray   &amp;nbsp; Find Amber J Tresca at:   AboutIBD.com: About IBD   Verywell: Verywell Health   Facebook: @aboutIBD   Twitter: @aboutIBD   Pinterest: @aboutibd   Instagram: @about_IBD   YouTube: @AboutIBD   Threads: @about_IBD   &amp;nbsp; Find Mac Cooney (mix, sound design, and theme music) at:   Facebook: @maccooneycomposer&amp;nbsp;   Instagram: @maccooneycomposer   Web: Cooney Studio   YouTube: @MacCooneyComposer   Theme music, IBD Dance Party, is from \u00a9Cooney Studio.   &amp;nbsp; Episode transcript and more information at: https:\/\/bit.ly\/AIBD168 &amp;nbsp; These show notes may contain affiliate links.
