Sexual orientation: Gay men, lesbians, and bisexuals [link]Paper  abstract   bibtex   
This chapter focuses on the developmental and intrapsychic processes and social experiences that are common to sexual minorities and the assessment of sexual identity and other salient features, such as their role in family and community systems. Viewing sexual minorities through the lens of cultural psychiatry requires an understanding that as a minority culture, there is great variability in the populations encompassed by the idea of "culture," much as there is no single way to think of facial or ethnic "cultures" as uniform. LGB individuals have unique health care needs and often experience invisibility, ignorance, or overt prejudice in the current health care system. In order to ensure that sexual minorities have access to quality care, professional training and medical education must incorporate a culturally sensitive approach to working with LGB patients in the health care setting. Health care providers can also improve the care of sexual minorities by working with schools, religious organizations, and social service agencies to educate and reduce the stigma associated with the interface of sexual orientation and gender with those institutions.
