IN RESPONSE:
The 2 comments submitted by Drs. Ng and Lacy speak to the diversity of ACP's 143 000 internal medicine physicians and student members. The ACP advocates on various topics and recognizes that not all ACP members will agree with our positions. The need to address the unique needs of LGBT persons and their families is based on ACP's long-standing commitment to advocate for those who are negatively affected by health care disparities. Ignoring or glossing over some topics that affect health because they are controversial would be inconsistent with ACP's mission “to enhance the quality and effectiveness of health care by fostering excellence and professionalism in the practice of medicine,” including “to advocate responsible positions on individual health and on public policy relating to health care for the benefit of the public, our patients, the medical profession, and our members.”
