With gay men, lesbians, bisexuals and all others of alternate
sexual orientations, therapy often focuses (particularly in the
beginning) on becoming comfortable with the way they are
sexually right now. This includes: [a] accepting themselves, [b]
discovering how and when to tell others about themselves and [c]
dealing with others' rejection.

Labeling one another as straight, gay, bisexual, etc seems very important to many. But it can be a trap because of lack of clearcut distinctions and lack of awareness that sometimes our desires will change over time. |
Common therapy issues that are not sexual-orientation-specific
(being sexual at all, anger, grief, self-esteem, addictions,
relationships, etc.) often are the most important therapy
issues. Treatment for these is much the same as it is for
heterosexuals.
