LGBTQ+, gay, lesbian, bi-sexual, queer, transgender and other mediations are specialized forms of mediation designed specifically to meet the needs of all the diverse communities within our culture. Today’s world of relationships is evolving constantly and becoming more inclusive and our mediation service meet the needs of all of the people in our society and the world.
Some states allow gay marriage early on and other states allowed civil unions in their stead. Others were brought along as it is now the law of the land. On their own and with education, Americans are coming to understand that all people deserve basic human rights and assistance in areas of LGBTQ+ relationships and marital mediation that bring to light a whole different set of facts, circumstances, and legal implications that did not exist even a few short years ago.
The Relationships have Existed Forever but LGBTQ+ Mediation for Them Has Not
For some, the most obvious example is that, before the LGBTQ+ movement gained national prominence and recognition. For others, gay marriage, gay and lesbian divorce and gay and lesbian partner or marital and trans mediation was not nationally recognized as a cricial commponnent to our society. This type of acceptance and problem solving mediation runs more deeply and involves who we are as a society and how we help all people interact, communicate and solve problems together.
Either way, most people can recognize that, regardless of whether they are officially recognized or sanctioned by the government, these relationships have existed forever. The LGBTQ+ community is alive vibrant and growing. Our mediation practice has opened up new resources and solutions for all members of our society.
