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.

Martin Luther King Jr

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.
