Abstract

In this article we provide an overview of international lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) psychology. We first highlight some international milestones of LGBT issues, followed by a discussion of the impact of LGBT psychology globally, including topics of the nature of sexual orientation and gender identity, sexual and gender identity development, depathologisation and decriminalisation of LGBT persons, discrimination and oppression, work discrimination and career issues, military service, HIV/AIDS prevention and intervention, same-sex relationships and marriages, parenting rights, LGBT children and youth, cultural diversity and intersectionality of identities, media representation issues, training of mental health service providers, conversion therapy, and policy statements and social justice advocacy of professional organisations. We conclude the article with a proposed future agenda for education and training, research, practise, and advocacy.
