Queer Ear for the Straight Therapist
Helping straight clinicians work with Gays and Lesbians
As a psychotherapist,
If you have gay clients,
It’s not enough to be
gay-friendly.
The fact is, even the best intentioned therapists have some
level of homophobia to overcome.
From birth, heterosexist culture imprints us to think that
heterosexuality is primary,
and that any other orientation is inferior.
It’s not even enough to be
gay yourself.
Gay or straight, we’re taught the homonegative belief
that the "alternate lifestyle" of being gay is a
more difficult way to live. But the "alternative" of living
heterosexually is actually harder for gay men,
and can lead only to depression and self-defeating, or
even self-destructive behaviors.
Learn the issues that
gay
men face.
They may surprise you.
