[FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE]
April 2, 2014
Announcing: LGBTRelationshipNetwork.org
Even with increasing acceptance of gay marriage there are few available resources to support the success of committed relationships for those who identify as Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual or Transgender. Until now.
Leading relationship coaches and educators have banded together to create an online resource focused on relationship success for and by the LGBT community at www.lgbtrelationshipnetwork.org
It’s About Time!
David Steele, MA, LMFT, CLC, author of the highly acclaimed book Conscious Dating: Finding the Love of Your Life & the Life That You Love and Founder of the Relationship Coaching Institute said
“As a Relationship Coach I’m excited to see increasing acceptance of gay marriage and all I can say is ‘IT’S ABOUT TIME!’
I grew up with my favorite uncle being part of a committed couple with my other favorite ‘uncle’ as normal, and I strongly support long-term loving relationships of all flavors. It is my pleasure and honor to be a founder and sponsor of LGBT Relationship Network.”
A shocking lack of LGBT-relevant relationship resources
Sharing his concern about the lack of resources supporting LGBT relationship success, gay relationship coach Mark Reinert noted
“During more than a decade of supporting gay and bisexual men in their relationship journey, I’ve become keenly aware of the shocking lack of culturally relevant and competent relationship help for gay and bisexual men – and everyone in the LGBT community.
I’ve lost track of how many times I’ve heard men tell me that their straight therapist or coach, though caring, was simply unable to understand and provide practical help for their relationship concerns. Clearly we need resources that are tailored to the unique relationship challenges and opportunities of the LGBT community.”
