At a pharmacy in Iowa, a 42-year-old Black gay man couldn’t find a medication he needed. The pharmacist, a white woman, told him they didn’t stock that medication. But while he waited to pay for his other purchases, he saw another customer place the medication he just asked for on the counter.
“I felt really bad,” he said. “I think (when) people place their biases alongside their profession, it makes it difficult to access (health) services.”
