ALBANY, N.Y. -- Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender groups said their members are marginalized when it comes to healthcare.

So they've declared march L-G-B-T Health Month to call attention to some of the challenges faced by their members.

The L-G-B-T Health and Human Services Network held an event Tuesday in Albany kicking off the month. Members of the Empire state Pride Agenda said even though New York has granted same-sex marriage, there's still a long way to go.
