This course is designed to examine Queer people in families and their unique contribution to the understanding of diversity among families. Current research, theory, personal narratives, and opportunities for self-reflection will be pathways to learn more about the diverse experiences of those who participate in families with LGBTQ members. Course topics include: family strengths and resilience; intersectionality and identity; racism, homophobia, biphobia, transphobia, and heterosexism; family of origin; chosen families; marriage and divorce; sexuality and intimacy; children and parenting; aging; unique health concerns; and culture. Methodological issues in research and clinical issues for serving LGBTQ families will also be addressed.
