Society tries to create a “perfect” image on people; leading us to believe that if we are not the specific way that we created, we do not fit in. In reality everybody is supposed to create themself, regardless of what society believes. Does what we label others matter? Who are we to judge how others chose to create themselves? In David Crabb’s memoir Bad Kid, Crabb takes the readers through what it was like discovering that he is gay, and how that changed how kids treated him during school.

In October 12, 2010, Joel Burns made a public message towards the GLBT teens by sharing a personal story. He delivered an amazing message by sharing also those who’ve been victims of being portrayed as gay, bullying, and suicides. Inspiring the young GLBT (Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, and Transgender) teens that life does not end by the words of others who have an oppose mentality. Life does get better once you graduate high school, adventure throughout your adult life, finding someone you may last a lifetime, and building a foundation just like those individuals who singled you out for having different interest. “...that the things would get easier, please stick around, society will change, please live long enough to see it…”
Throughout his investigation, Johnson recognized reoccurring themes students were encompassing in their battle. The stories were plagued with overlapping subjection to rejection, lack of community, relationship strain with God and self-hatred. The separation of sexuality and religion left students in a gray zone where they were not able to express themselves as who they were in fear of facing rejection. However, this left them without a support team. Places where they were suppose to feel safe such as family and church left them alone condemning as “wrong,” creating a even more difficulty in coping with an already tough and complex self-journey.
The Latino culture has very strong ideas of the masculine and feminine image and what is accepted from each gender identity. The Lesbian, Gay, Bi-sexual, and Queer (LGBTQ) Latinidad community as a result often do not fit into the roles their society expected them to fill. Due to the conflict in beliefs between the sexual orientation and ethnic background of a Latinidad LGBTQ member, they can face various difficulties that lead into mistreatment from themselves and the surrounding world. They often experience: a lack of acceptance in society, hash treatment, depression, self-hate, and resentment from their own religion.

Doctors must assume more responsibility in improving communication with LGBTQ patients. First, they must confront the very nature of their practice, which Nuland termed “The Riddle” (1995). The Riddle is the doctor’s obsession; they have been trained to solve the puzzle that is pathogenesis, in hopes of reversing the disorder. Historically, medical school has taught aspiring doctors to thrive in this pursuit. However, if the right balance is not struck, a doctor risks mistaking the person for the disease: a grave mistake.
This is an obstacle that we as clinicians need to acknowledge because the road to recovery is long but it is also a lifelong process that our clients need to be made aware

Brandt van Soolen RC 522 Homework on Sexuality and Disability Sexuality and Disability: A Review of Literature and a Hypothetical Case Study After reviewing, and critiquing, the research of Kazukauskas and Lam (2010) and Juergens, Smedema, and Berven (2009), I had mixed reactions. First, in the Kazukauskas and Lam (2010) research I agreed with the assertion that sexuality “is one of the most significant psychosocial factors in an individual’s life (Kazukauskas & Lam, 2010, p. 15). Moreover, I concurred that the nature of issues circumscribing sexuality necessitates the need for vocational rehabilitation counselors to be able to handle sexuality associated circumstances. Where I encountered frustration was with reading the statistics that
In being seen as different and as challenging a societal norm, they are often ostracized and discriminated against.

LGB adolescents become part of a minority group based on the societal view that heterosexuality is favored, leading them to experience heterosexism. Saltzburg found (2007) LGB youth struggle from the society narrative of heterosexism resulting in “fears of disappointing their parents and facing emotional rejection” (p. 58). Narrative therapy is effective with LGB youth and parents by using specific questions and conversations to challenge and discuss heterosexism and homophobia with the parents. One method is to externalize homophobia and heterosexism using conversations such as: 1) identifying and acknowledging in what ways homophobia and heterosexism have come to be constitutive of their life; 2) recognizing how homophobic and heterosexist
