Title

Loss Of Religious Or Spiritual Identities Among The Lgbt Population

Keywords

LGBT; loss; religious abuse; religious identity; sexual identity

Abstract

Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) individuals are at risk of having negative experiences with religion because of mainstream religions' non-LGBT-affirming stance. Negative religious experiences can lead to religious or spiritual (R/S) struggles and loss of R/S identity to maintain sexual identity. The authors describe R/S abuse, R/S struggle, and how these can result in loss of R/S identity in LGBT individuals. They provide a case study and discuss counseling implications and areas for future research. © 2014 by the American Counseling Association. All rights reserved.
