	Gay Men and Lesbians in the U.S. Military: Estimates from Census 2000
		Gay Men and Lesbians in the U.S. Military: Estimates from Census 2000
		Despite a variety of rules designed to keep gay men and lesbians out of military service, census data make clear that they are actively serving in the armed forces, in guard and reserve units, and have served in the military throughout the later part of the 20th century.
		Gay men and lesbians have served in all military eras in the later part of the 20th century.

	36,000 Gay Men and Lesbians Are on Active Duty in the Military
		Demographer Gary Gates, in "Gay Men and Lesbians in the U.S. Military: Estimates from the Census 2000," estimates that 1.4 percent of men on active duty are gay and 9.3 percent of women are lesbian.
		The first to analyze the characteristics of gay and lesbian soldiers, the study assesses the size of the gay and lesbian military population, provides a demographic portrait of the group, and shows where gay and lesbian veterans live.
		Lesbian soldiers are four years older than other women on active duty, are more likely to be white, and stay in the military longer.

	Document
		Lesbians and gay men also often are denied custody of and visitation with their biological children and denied the opportunity to adopt or become foster parents (Editors of the Harvard Law Review, 1990; Falk, 1989; Shapiro, 1996).
		Gay men and lesbians assisting adults with an illness or disability were caring primarily for friends (61 percent) and parents (16 percent), partners (13 percent), and other family members (10 percent).
		Among lesbians and gay men with adult care responsibilities, 7 percent were not out to any coworkers at their jobs, 8 percent were not out to any medical service providers, and 13 percent were not out to any neighbors.

	Children, Youth and Family Consortium
		Gay men, on the other hand, tended to find their safety in marriages to women and to have sexual relationships with men outside the marriage.
		Although the current cohort of very old gay and lesbian adults are probably not interested in being recognized as different from other older adults, the younger cohorts (50-65 year olds) seem to have a strong interest in services and programs which pay attention to their unique needs.
		Others have found evidence that the strength of networks of gay and lesbian friends and the involvement in a gay and lesbian culture could result in the insulation of gay men from losses that are associated with old age.

	OutWord
		All of us who work with older lesbians and gay men must genuinely believe that the choice of a same-sex love partner is as healthy, valid and life-giving an option as the choice of an opposite-sex partner.
		Although research on the number of lesbians and gay men is complicated by the hidden "in the closet" nature of this population, it is estimated that lesbians and gay men constitute 8 percent to 15 percent of the population of the United States.
		Gay professionals might want to carefully review their own "coming out" process or their need to stay "in the closet." How we feel about ourselves as lesbians and gay men and our own aging will affect our professional relationships with older lesbians and gay men.

		The gay and lesbian movement, if you will, was just starting to get more press at that time, and, certainly in Anchorage, which is a town of 270,000 people, gay and lesbian folks hadnât seen themselves in the pages of their newspapers very often.
		There is a strong gay and lesbian activist community in the Detroit area and also in Ann Arbor, which is about 40 miles away, but there also is a very strong strain of religious fundamentalism in the Detroit area, so you have that sort of mixture.
		While many gay and lesbian journalists are out, so many of them still are not prepared to go public, and we have felt that to push that particular aspect would be an exercise in futility.

		A useful text for an introductory course in gay and lesbian studies, it may also be appropriate for clients who would like a general source to read about a variety of issues and concerns.
		Authored by a mother of a gay son and a mother of a lesbian daughter, this book draws on dozens of interviews with gay men and lesbians and their parents.
		Merger in lesbian couples, the management of differences (using a cross-cultural perspective), psychodynamic psychotherapy with gay male couples, analytic therapy of gay men, and group psychotherapy with gay man are also discussed.

	Family Treatment with Chemically Dependent Gay Men andLesbians
		Long term treatment for the lesbian or gay man who is in recovery must take a family perspective which accounts for both his o, her family of origin as well as any family systems that he or she has created.
		When a lesbian or gay man abuses alcohol or drugs, the dysfunction the substance abuse creates for his or her family of creation (lover, roommate or friends) is in addition to the historical dysfunction each lesbian or gay man grew up with as a member of a homophobic family.
		One characteristic of men and women who have developed a positive lesbian or gay identity is that they have formed a strong family of supportive friends and perhaps are in a committed relationship.

	The Attitudes Toward Lesbians and Gay Men (ATLG) Scale
		The Attitudes Toward Lesbians and Gay Men (ATLG) Scale is a brief measure of heterosexuals' attitudes toward gay men and women.
		Researchers wishing to compare a subject population's attitudes toward gay men with their attitudes toward lesbians are advised to use parallel forms of one of the subscales (the ATG items have usually been used for this purpose), with each item presented twice, once in reference to gay men and once in reference to lesbians.
		Members of lesbian and gay organizations scored at the extreme positive end of the range (Herek, 1988), and nonstudent adults who publicly supported a local gay rights initiative scored significantly lower on the ATLG than did community residents who publicly opposed the initiative (Herek, 1994).

	[No title]
		Being deprived of gay marriages, and very often failing to have lovers or anniversaries recognized by our nuclear families or by society at large-these serve as examples of why it is incumbent on us to take it upon ourselves to establish practices and ceremonies that are meaningful specifically to us.
		For lesbians or gay men who are parents, family therapy may have little or nothing to do with issues of sexual orientation.
		Under aged gay people who are "out" to their families and who are struggling with all of the inherent difficulties of adolescence, combined with the dilemma of creating a satisfying lesbian or gay identity, need and deserve adult support.

	Coming Out Can Reduce Sexual Prejudice
		Herek suggested that lesbians and gay men who are preparing to come out to a heterosexual friend or family member think carefully about the best way to break the news.
		According to Herek, when lesbians and gay men have a choice, they are more likely to disclose their sexual orientation to members of groups that are generally tolerant of homosexuality.
		But while gay men and lesbians tend to come out to people whom they expect to respond positively, Herek also observed that heterosexuals who have had past contact hold more favorable attitudes regardless of their sex, political beliefs, schooling, or other background characteristics.

	For Gay Men (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		Yes, there are lesbians who have chosen to marry men for the purpose of having children, and in some cases just to avoid problems with their community.
		It may be that a gay man who feels the need to marry a woman would prefer a lesbian wife because he imagines that he won't need to worry so much about pleasing her.
		But I know of very many more cases of gay men and lesbians who are married to straight partners, some of whom know their spouse is gay and some of whom do not.

		The unswerving fight that gay men and lesbians have waged for marriage equality has been predicated largely on the idea that traditional marriage is the best possible form a relationship can take.

		According to Bannin, the older gay and lesbian population will continue to grow: every year, an estimated 400,000 gay men and lesbians in the United States turn 50.
		One 58-year-old lesbian from Western Massachusetts says in an online posting that her arthritis keeps her away from the women's hiking trips she used to enjoy; even the women's music festivals are too difficult for her.

	Gay Patriot » Lesbians Trapped in Men's Bodies
		And yours truly was truly, truly in his element, frequently chiming in, noting how lesbians seemed to get relationships right and defending the book’s fifth chapter — about her experiences in a monastery — as one of the best.
		I liked that chapter because it was there that she realized how women serve “communicators, the interlocutors between men and themselves, men and their children and even men and each other.” She became aware of the absence of intimacy in the all-male environment of the monastery.
		Lesbians are far more likely to be monogamous than gay men, indeed, may well even be more committed to monogamy than straight men.

	Review: The HIV Epidemic and Lesbians and Gay Men
		By grouping gay men's experience of the HIV epidemic with that of lesbians, the editors of this collection assume a shared "queer" identity for the two communities, whose experience with HIV has been markedly different.
		HIV infection is rising among API men, but as the authors emphasize, "to be successful, future HIV prevention for gay APIs must address the important sociocultural issues of stigmatization, family and community, identity development, community empowerment, confidentiality and ethnic diversity" (132).
		The book's focus on gay men is understandable in light of the far greater numbers of gay men who have contracted HIV in comparison to the numbers of lesbians.

		Doctors Qazi Rahman and Glenn Wilson from the Institute of Psychiatry in London found that gay men performed well at mental tasks where women generally outperform men, but were not as good at tasks generally thought of as being "male".
		In language tests, which are traditionally seen as a "female strong point", gay men did as well as heterosexual women.
		Doctor Rahman said: "The fact that gay men and lesbians show cross-sex shifts in their brain functioning might also be related, partly, to the cross-sex shifts in their presentation of certain mental health problems in gay men, such as higher levels of anxiety disorders, depression and eating disorders usually found in women.

	Gay cruises: Set sail for your best vacation yet -- Queer Lesbian Gay Travel -- Gay.com
		Gay men and lesbians have had a love of the open seas for centuries.
		In spite of all the fabulous cruising adventures available today, some gays and lesbians scoff at taking a "mainstream" cruise and opt for all-gay charters by companies such as RSVP Vacations, (which shares the same parent company as this Web site), Atlantis or Olivia.
		They're looking for the totally open environment, intense bonding, easy access to new gay friends from around the world and, sometimes, the hard-partying atmosphere that only an all-gay cruise can provide.

	Thoughts on the Ordination of Sexually Active Gay Men and Lesbians
		Rosik points out that as the "born that way" argument recedes in importance, many lesbians (as well as a minority of gay men) now attribute their sexual identity to personal choice.
		In fact, a good body of research provides a convincing rationale for differentiating between lesbians and gay men in terms of erotic plasticity (Baumeister, 2000).
		For example, Whisman (1996) found a higher percentage of lesbians (31%) than gay men (18%) who described their sexual orientation as being a conscious, deliberate choice.

	Supreme Court allows Florida adoption ban to stand
		While forbidding gays from adopting, Florida law still allows gay men and lesbians to be foster parents.
		The law was passed in 1977 during the height of former Miss America runner-up Anita Bryant’s anti-gay crusade, when the then-popular singer couched her homophobic rhetoric in terms of “protecting” children from gay men and lesbians.
		The judge noted that there is a large collection of social research indicating that gay men and lesbians are fully capable of raising children properly, and that children raised by gays do as well as children raised by heterosexuals.

		The grouping together of "gay and lesbian" is now an accepted part of American speech, but while there are many experiences gay men and lesbians share, there are also obviously innumerable personal, political, and emotional differences between the two groups--differences that produce confusions and tensions.
		In Opposite Sex: Gay Men on Lesbians, Lesbians on Gay Men, Sarah Miles and Eric Rofes have collected 14 essays by gay and lesbian scholars, activists, artists, and writers that begin to break the silence over what one homo-gender thinks of the other.
		Miles and Rofes state that their purpose is to "bring the sex back into queer studies," and while many of these essays contain theory and vigorous intellectual discourse, they are all dedicated to talking about actual feelings and actual bodies in the real world.
