“…Additionally, as of 2022, at least three states in America, including Georgia, Florida, and Alabama do not ban conversion therapy [22]. Not long ago, too, in 2016, former Governor, Bill Haslam of Tennessee, signed a law into place that allowed private practice family or individual counselors to not have to work with clients of whom they disagree with ideologically, religiously, or regarding sexual orientation, despite the client's presenting issues or need [23,24]. More specifically, counselors in Tennessee, who may be approached with clients who are gay and with a presenting issue, such as severe depression or suicidality, may refer out this counseling seeking client, only due to disagreeing with his, her, hir, or their lifestyle, sexuality and/or gender expression, alone [23,24].…”

Families are phenomenological and unique. All families are valuable, but historically, many family types have been underrepresented. Families with members who identify in the BIPOC LGBTQIA+ communities have historically been underrepresented and marginalized. Helping BIPOC LGBTQIA+ families involves both clinical work and advocacy. Advocacy for the professional identity of counseling, marriage and family therapy, and related helpers involves various aspects. These aspects include leadership theory and integration, importance of professional identity, the need to continue to infuse multiculturalism within the counseling and family therapy identities, and continued skills for counselors to learn inclusive advocacy. Skills and implications for advocacy as they relate to clients who intersect among the LGBTQAI+ and BIPOC communities, will be described.

“…With same-sex marriage recently legalized, individuals often forget that discrimination toward the LGBTQIA + community has not ceased. Tennessee recently passed a legislative bill known as Tennessee Senate Bill 1556 that states private practice counselors do not need to work with clients whom they disagree with ideologically or religiously, despite clients’ presenting issues or needs (Ginicola et al, 2017; Smith & Okech, 2016). This bill was originally passed May 2, 2016; still today, clients in Tennessee with legitimate presenting issues who happen to identify as non-binary and LGBTQIA + may be referred out due solely to philosophical disagreements with his, her, hir, zir, or their lifestyle, sexuality, or gender expression (Sells & Hagedorn, 2016; Smith & Okech, 2016).…”

Systemic advocacy involves various aspects, such as inclusive leadership and clinical practice. The Socially Just and Culturally Responsive Counseling Leadership Model (SJCRCLM) will be described as a way for counselors to continue to help BIPOC LGBTQIA + individuals and families. This model has been used to discuss professional advocacy, but less to discuss client advocacy in practice. Ways to apply the SJCRCLM to BIPOC and LGBTQIA + clients, families, and communities, will be included. Understanding the advocacy needs of clients who intersect among the BIPOC and LGBTQIA + communities is crucial.

Sexual orientation knowledge and attitudes and its association with therapy satisfaction among lesbian, gay, and bisexual + Hispanic Puerto Ricans

et al. 2023

This study aimed to examine the difference in therapy satisfaction between lesbian, gay, and bisexual + (LGB +) individuals and heterosexual individuals, and to identify the association between therapy satisfaction and the perception of knowledge and attitudes of their last therapist among the LGB + participants. Through an exploratory design with a comparative group, 125 LGB + and 75 heterosexual participants were recruited online by availability. Results indicate that the participants’ sexual orientation has no significant relation on therapy satisfaction. However, there was a significant positive association between satisfaction with therapy and the LGB + participants’ perception that their therapist demonstrated knowledge and positive attitudes. This research highlights the importance for continuous education and curriculum efforts on LGB + issues.
