Pride
People fail to get along
with each other because they fear each other.
They fear each other because they don’t
know each other.
They don’t know
each other because
they have not
properly communicated
with each other.

WELCOME TO ALGBTICAL
The Association for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual & Transgender Issues in Counseling of Alabama (ALGBTICAL) is
an official state branch of the
national organization, the Association for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual & Transgender
Issues in Counseling (ALGBTIC), and is an official state division of the Alabama
Counseling Association (ALCA).
ALGBTICAL seeks to promote greater
awareness and understanding of sexual minority issues among
members of the
counseling profession, related helping occupations, their clients, and the
community.
ALGBTICAL is an organization of
compassionate professionals, advocates and allies that
provides counselors and other skilled helpers
common ground, support, and
resources for their work with sexual orientation and sexual identity. Working in a wide range of counseling and
counseling-related fields, and in a variety of settings, it is important that we
find ways to connect with each
other around issues that affect sexual
minorities, including persons who are Lesbian, Gay,
Bisexual,
Transgender, Intersexual, Asexual, Queer, and Questioning.
