It has been well established that there exists a severe need for family researchers, family professionals, and therapists that serve families to have training and competency in issues that affect the gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender (GLBT) community. Given this need, this study was created to examine and reflect upon the scholarship productivity, relative to GLBT family issues, in some of the most highly respected and top-tier family journals. This study identified 10 of the most prominent journals that involve family issues, and the thousands of articles within (N D 6,003). After a thorough content analysis, GLBT scholarship made up 2.2% of total scholarship (N D 130). Journals, researchers, and institutions that published the most GLBT family research in the articles selected are also reported as well as possible directions for future research.
