The focus of this study was to determine whether or not professionals who are trained to provide direct services to help clients improve their well- being are able to do so without any biases, lack of sensitivity, or any covert or overt discriminatory behaviors (Regenerus, 2012). The primary research question was: Are there any significant relationships between the attitudes of social workers as a function of length of time in the field and gender of those who have provided services to lesbian and gay families with children? Two hypotheses were also tested. Participants were asked to rate their level agreement on a five point Likert-type scale in two categories: (a) lesbian and gay family and (b) practices social workers engage when providing services to lesbian and gay families. Data from the background of the participants were also collected. Correlational analyses were performed and the probability level of .05 was used to determine whether or not any relationship observed was significant. Results showed that there were no significant correlations or effects between the length of time practicing in the field nor gender and the attitudes of social workers who have worked with lesbian and gay families with children. Patterns from the data did show that males were more likely to be licensed social workers than were females (r = -.21, p = .01). Conclusions, implications for practitioners, and recommendations for future research are presented and discussed.
