The gay/lesbian community has a particular interest in the circumcision problem,
because circumcision concerns issues with which gays/lesbians continue to struggle,
(gender roles and equality, societal power, sexual health and rights, medical abuse, and religious oppression).
While all of these articles are pertinent, those with a rainbow flag

were especially written
by/for gay men or lesbians, or they specifically address lesbian/gay concerns.
