RESUMO
Families of children with disabilities or special healthcare needs report respite care as a great need, yet availability of such care is scarce. A partnership developed between a nursing school in the Southeast and a faith community, to provide respite care and summer camps, resulted in a win-win situation for families, children, interprofessional students and educators, the faith community, and volunteers. This article explains the need for respite, how schools of nursing and faith communities can partner, and the benefits to all stakeholders.

Descriptive information is provided about lesbian, gay, and bisexual (LGB) individuals' everyday experiences with heterosexism. Comparisons are made with participants' experiences with nonheterosexist hassles and with previous research on other types of everyday discrimination. Heterosexist hassles were most likely to be in the form of verbal comments whereas nonheterosexist hassles in the form of behaviors. Compared with nonheterosexist hassles and previous research on other forms of discriminatory hassles, heterosexist hassles were more likely to involve fear of heterosexism. The degree to which LGB members were "out" and whether participants were bisexual were associated with reporting fear of heterosexism and the total amount of heterosexism experienced, respectively.
