Clinical Considerations for Children of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, Intersex, Asexual, and All Sexually and Gender Diverse Families

The visibility of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, asexual, and all sexually and gender diverse (LGBTQIA+) families is growing. Anti-LGBTQIA+ rhetoric and actions continue to shape the public discourse, legislation, and health care. This article highlights unique challenges and strengths of children raised by LGBTQIA+ parents. Health care professionals should be cognizant of challenges and resiliencies these children experience in a normative society regarding gender identity, sexual orientation, and sex development. Clinicians can conduct inclusive and nonjudgmental family and social histories in welcoming practices, with careful consideration of unique familial dynamics these children may experience at home.
