Sexual Minorities

Sexual Minorities: Discrimination, Challenges, and Development in America examines various stumbling blocks that prevent many gays, lesbians, bisexuals, and trangendered people from living unrestricted, healthy lives. This book concentrates on the affects of outside influences on the homosexual psyche from adolescence to mid-life and programs and services that need to be developed to improve quality of life. Sexual minority groups face negativity from society in the forms of homophobia and heterosexism, which can internalize to form self-loathing and depression. This book is a wake-up call for all members of society regardless of age, sex, race, or sexual orientation.
