Abstract

  • The authors will present their perspectives on cutting edge issues in LGBT psychology, both how LGBT psychology has changed over the last few decades as well as important future directions. Topics will include perspectives on bisexuality and gender orientation/transgender issues, social construction of both gender and sexual orientation and the limiting two-box system of gender, ways in which LGBT psychology has been White-dominated and new perspectives emerging from a more racially inclusive LGBT psychology, and finally movements toward greater cultural awareness and international perspectives on LGBT psychology.
