LGBT issues are at the forefront of many heated discussions in today's society. As a healthcare provider, one cannot discriminate against a client's sexual orientation or preference. Assure the interviewer that you feel it is important to treat all patients and coworkers with the same respect and care despite their sexual orientation. If you have ever worked directly with coworkers or patients who are part of the LGBT community, give a positive example to the interviewer.

"I believe that it is important for people to express their individuality, and being part of the LGBT community is part of that expression. I feel that showing mutual respect to another person's choices is a way to build morale among team members and to build trust with our patients."

Focus on assuring the interviewer that you are first and foremost a professional and you do not judge anyone based on their race, gender, sexual orientation, or religion. Describe how you support the LGBT community, regardless if they are coworkers or patients.
