Notes

The fight for LGBTQ+ rights has come a long way, but the battle for acceptance is far from over. The incidence of mental health issues in the LGBTQ+ community, such as anxiety, sadness, trauma, disordered eating, and even suicide ideation, are frequently higher than those in the general population (Young & Fisher-Borne, 2018)


Sexual orientation discrimination, also often referred to as sexualism, is a belief or argument that one sexual orientation or sexual behavior is inherently superior to some or all others. Sexual orientation discrimination, or sexualism, is no different from gender equality and/or sexism. So the study of sexualism, such as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) rights, isn't unbeknownst to most of us, for some of it is connected to other studies in our nation. Most governments, programs, and organizations throughout the world nowadays support and protect the rights of the LGBTQ community. The Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender (LGBT) community is fighting for the right to love who they choose without judgment or repercussion. People are being denied the right to marriage, job opportunities, healthcare, and so much more just because they choose to love someone of the same sex as them. The LGBT community deserves the same rights as the rest of the populace throughout the world as citizens and as human beings.
