Homosexuality is one of a range of lifestyles that social workers encounter. Societal attitudes towards homosexuality are, in general, negative. Gays and lesbians face discrimination in employment and education and suffer social disapproval.

It concludes with a discussion of the social work needs of homosexual people and of possible strategies for intervention
