It doesn't concern me, because we are all human beings and should be treated equally, no matter if we are gay or not. Everyone deserves to be treated with kindness. I will be able to focus on what my clients tell me instead of looking at their appearance. I could be empathetic to whoever it was whether they were LGBT, white, African American, or so on. I will have compassion for all my clients, regardless of whether they are homosexual or heterosexual, because they need help and they have come to you to help them. I feel like if they don't have a problem with you helping them knowing that you all believe in a different religion, there should be a problem. You wouldn't leave a person who just had an accident because he's gay. I also feel it when you go to school to become a social worker and they teach you not to put your personal values on the line. The profession knows that there will be times when they may get stuck in a situation that involves working with someone with different values and beliefs. You will stay and help him or her. If this is what I love to do, I shouldn't have a problem with their different sexual orientation. I feel comfortable upholding ethical standards, because there are rules to follow. Not everyone will feel the same or behave the same. If there were no rules, people would not feel comfortable with the help of some professionals. Some professionals have made one or more clients feel fulfilled about themselves. I feel some tension between your professional values and ethics and your personal beliefs. I think I would forget about the religious question and start talking about the Lord. I am very close to my father and he always brings God into the conversation when he talks to someone. I feel like I would get carried away and bring God into the conversation too.
