Abstract

This article examines the amount of writing on gay and lesbian subject matter in 12 social work journals and two gay and lesbian journals 1988-1997. Two-thirds of the 121 social work journal articles published on homosexuality focus on HIV/AIDS. Gay and lesbian subject matter not related to HIV/AIDS constitutes only 1 % of this literature. Meeting the Council on Social Work Education requirement for curriculum content on sexual orientation will be difficult if educators rely only on social work journals for knowledge. The publication record for articles on homosexuality in the 12 journals under study must be strengthened.
