Gay and Lesbian Issues, Life Style and Conditions.
Some gays and lesbians are aware of their sexual identity at
an early age and are supported by their family and friends, while others remain
confused and uncertain for many years. Sometimes there is an intense emotional
struggle; a feeling that you are different from others, not fitting in, holding
a burdensome secret, or feeling ashamed as a result of a gay-negative culture.
Gays and lesbians often experience anxiety when expressing their sexual
identity to family and friends. Counseling or therapy provides an opportunity
to overcome the difficulties that arise from these emotional struggles. Issues
that affect heterosexual people also effect gay and lesbians such as stress; anxiety,
depression, difficulty creating or sustaining an intimate relationship. Also,
difficulties with couple communication issues, recovery from substance abuse
and coping with an illness or grief.
