profile issue, other people are taking those rela-
tionships more seriously, too.
Myrick, Beckman and Handy said they work
with many people whose original religious foun-
dation was punitive.
"Some are in a state of reaction to what amounts
to religious persecution," Handy said. "Others
haven't reacted to that enough."
Beckman said that the difference over the past
15 years is that now SB many churches have
adopted an attitude of "Who's gay? Who's
straight? Who cares?" She said that when she
started in practice, she could hand out a very short
list of churches that would welcome the LGBT
community.
"Now people really can find a church that fits,"
she said. "We can give directions on how to go
church shopping."
More and more gays and lesbians are deciding
to have children. And Beckman and Handy dis-
cuss with their clients what parenting means and
why they want to be parents.
Are they doing it "to prove they're super par-
ents, or are they doing it for the kid?" Beckman
asked.
Handy added that it fe the therapists' job to
make sure that couples and individuals want to
be parents for "all the right reasons."
Handy and Beckman both agreed that the best
change over the past 15 years has been among
some of their youngest clients:
They have some need to come to therapy but
they've been OK about being gay since they were
young.
They've had gay role models, had other friends
who were out in school and watched gay charac-
ters on television.
Handy said it was a big difference from when
he was the first and only out licensed therapist in
Madison, Wise.
mik truly heartening. A joy to experience," he
said. And lie's learned a valuable lesson from
those younger clients: "Don't go looking for
trauma when it isn't there," he said. ■
