Jason Cianciotto and Sean Cahill, experts on lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender public policy advocacy, combine an accessible review of social science research with analyses of school practices and local, state, and federal laws that affect LGBT students. In addition, portraits of LGBT youth and their experiences with discrimination at school bring human faces to the issues the authors discuss.
Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people face the same family issues as their heterosexual counterparts, but that is only the beginning of their struggle. The LGBT community also encounters legal barriers to government recognition of their same-sex relationships and relationships to their own children. Policy Issues Affecting Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Families addresses partner recognition, parenting, issues affecting children of LGBT parents, health care, discrimination, senior care and elder rights, and equal access to social services. Sean Cahill and Sarah Tobias provide up-to-date, accurate analysis of the major policies affecting LGBT people, their same-sex partners, and their children. This valuable resource offers literature reviews of demographic research as well as original research based on the U.S. Census same-sex couple sample. It also provides a look at the 30-year history of right-wing anti-gay activism and the intra-community intellectual debates over the fight for marriage.
At present, the health care infrastructure is ill-equipped to handle the unique treatment and care needs of HIV-positive older adults.

This report provides a comprehensive overview of the extent of anti-LGBT harassment and bias, its impact on students, policy interventions that support LGBT students and improve school climate, and the changing policy context that complicates these efforts. It includes an in-depth analysis of how the No Child Left Behind Act affects LGBT students. And it profiles eight young people who stood up to the abuse and discrimination so many LGBT young people live with on a daily basis; one payed the ultimate price, when she was killed in an anti gay attack. The report also articulates an agenda for future research and policy analysis. ; National Gay and Lesbian Task Force Policy Institute
