Abstract
AbstractThe mediation field has made great strides in its commitment to multicultural understanding, but lesbians and gay men remain invisible within the conflict resolution community. There is virtually no dispute resolution literature, except anecdotal, to support this claim. However, there is evidence to support the fact that lesbians and gay men are a significant but often invisible portion of the U.S. population. This article discusses ways in which the mediation field perpetuates this invisibility, explores whether mediation really provides an alternative dispute resolution process for lesbians and gays, assesses the impact of this exclusion on the practice of mediation, and suggests ways in which mediators and mediation programs can address homophobia and heterosexism.
