Who is Lesbian, Bisexual or Gay?”
Lesbians, gay men and bisexuals are represented in every socio-economic class, education level, political affiliation, age group, religion, race and ethnicity. They are our sisters, fathers, aunts, uncles, and friends. Lesbians and gay men are doctors, carpenters, teachers, ministers, factory workers, scientists, psychologists, police officers, military personnel, etc. Although some people argue that lesbians and gay men are not suitable for certain jobs, no research evidence supports this claim. Additionally, no physical attributes or behavior (such as dress or mannerisms) can identify who is lesbian or gay, though stereotypes of the effeminate male and masculine female are common. Whereas some gay people may display stereotypical characteristics, the vast majority do not. Lesbians and gay men are diverse as a group and unique as individuals.
