Training Social Workers to Help LGBT Military Service Members: Q&A with Michael Ian Rothenberg, PhD, LCSW I would suggest to LGBT Service members that it’s important to proceed in the manner that feels most right to them, taking careful time to explore and negotiate all options, as coming out is a very personal decision and there, truly, is no right or wrong way for an individual to come out.s a clinical sexologist, I was heartened to participate in this training as, even as recently as one year ago, a presentation dedicated to the needs of LGBT service members would, likely, not have ever been offered.

- In a historic study of children raised by homosexual parents, sociologist Mark Regnerus of the University of Texas at Austin has overturned the conventional academic wisdom that such children suffer no disadvantages when compared to children raised by their married mother and father.n other words, just because there are statistical correlations between having a homosexual parent and experiencing negative outcomes does not automatically prove that having a homosexual parent is what caused the negative outcomes--other factors could be at work.

Jazz is also transgender, ‘and proud of it’. Jazz was ‘assigned male at birth’, meaning she was born a boy. Her parents, Jeanette and Greg, named their baby son Jaron. But Jazz – as she has long been known – felt she was a girl. ‘All I can ever remember is feeling like a girl; I never felt like a boy,’ said Jazz Jennings who has body dysphoria – what used to be called gender identity disorder.
