How does the legal and social policy context in which lesbian and gay Americans live infl uence their day-to-day experience? The current historical moment is an intriguing time to consider this question. At the time of this writing, many important legal and policy changes that affect sexual minorities are occurring in the United States. After many years of lesbian and gay Americans' enduring hostility from the legal system (Maggiore, 1992;Murdoch & Price, 2001; Rubinstein, 1996), their struggle for equal rights under the law seems to be gathering momentum in some jurisdictions, even as it suffers setbacks in others. As a result, lesbian and gay lives are changing, and an unusual opportunity to observe the impact of legal and policy change upon human behavior is before us (Patterson, 2004).This chapter begins with an overview of the legal and policy contexts in which lesbian and gay Americans live today and then explores some of the ways in which issues of couples, parents, and families are infl uenced by these contexts.

The primary aim of this content analysis was to examine how strength-based themes were addressed in peer-reviewed psychology literature focused on sexual and/or gender minority populations or related LGBT-affirming institutions/organizations, and published between 1973 and 2011. Results suggest that common positive psychology themes were love, integrity, vitality, citizenship, nonprofit organizations, and LGBT-affirming laws. The authors discuss the relative inclusion of transgender and bisexual individuals and people of color in the literature as a whole, and suggest that future work include a greater focus on strengths in the lives of transgender, queer, and nonidentifying sexual minorities, as well as those with intersecting identities. This article concludes by highlighting areas of positive psychology that may be particularly fruitful avenues for future research in LGBT psychology and suggestions for contributing to future literature on LGBT strengths.
