Let’s Get This Straight

A Gay- and Lesbian-Affirming Approach to Child Welfare

Gerald P. Mallon

The first book to approach child welfare from a gay- and lesbian-affirming perspective, Let’s Get This Straight uncovers and challenges the pervasive presence of ‘heterocentrism’ within the social work profession. It draws upon case examples and in-depth interviews to illustrate the degree to which myths and stereotypes about gay and lesbian youth detrimentally affect those most in need of assistance.
