The workshop will provide an overview of coming out as a normative developmental process for individuals and their families. We will explore the ways in which LGBT families integrate and negotiate intersecting identities including sexual identity, gender identity, race, culture, and class. We will examine effective ways of collaborating with LGBT families to address problems, conflicts, and stressors generated by the ridig binary gender system and heteronormativity of the dominant culture in the USA.
