LGBT HISTORY

It has just been in the last few years that we've finally seen the plethora of research and historical information related to the lived lives of LGBT persons.

LGBT ISSUES

The events over a lifetime for LGBT persons become more complicated due to the myths, misinformation, homophobia, and heterosexism.

RESOURCES

The ability to access community and supportive resources is critical in meeting the needs of any client. The lack of national resources can greatly influence local organizations.

Community * Service * Social Justice * Relationships *

Integrity * Competence * Dignity * Worth of Person

POLICY, PRACTICE AND RESEARCH

Culturally competent and LGBT affirming practice standards are relatively recent additions to both the areas of clinical practice and research.

Our Values

A virtual collection of comprehensive resources to individuals and agencies providing services to the LGBTQ community.

Our Mission

To create a knowledge community committed

to improving the lives  of LGBTQ persons.

Welcome -

More than two years ago, we set out to create a Knowledge Community (KC) that addresses the needs of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer (LGBTQ) people across their lifespan.  As educators, researchers, and practitioners, information and resources were minimal and lacked critical cultural competencies and ignored intersecting identities.
