                               Many people criticize others with different gender or sexuality, it has become a habit to society to treat those part of the LBGT community differently. They say there are only 2 genders, and we should love and be thankful for what God gave us. Even though they fight back, there are always too many enemies. They just want to be treated as a normal person not some “out of the world” person just because of their sexuality. They tend to keep their emotions, what they really feel, what they really want to be, because they are scared to go out to the world without being stared at, talked about. They pretend to be someone there not, they get hurt, they have feelings, they are people not aliens and still people don’t understand, they don’t get it, they still make them feel like they don’t belong.

                              


 They go protest, they fight for their right, doing everything and they are so close at being heard but some still interfere. How can society live with that? Always interfering with other people’s choices. As we go deep. Sexual violence affects every demographic and every community, including LGBTQ people. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), lesbian, gay and bisexual people experience sexual violence at similar or higher rates than straight people. The National Coalition of Anti-Violence Projects (NCAVP) estimates that nearly one in ten LGBTQ survivors of intimate partner violence (IPV) has experienced sexual assault from those partners. Studies suggest that around half of transgender people and bisexual women will experience sexual violence at some point in their lifetimes, and society are still more concerned about being against their sexuality than being concerned that they have been harassed.  

                                 

                                 


What they are feeling and what they are fighting for isn’t a joke, it isn’t some comedy skit, and it isn’t  something that you make fun of and get clout in the internet. We must help them be heard. The government should do something. Even if they say “They are only two genders and we should be thankful for what God gave us” but we also should remember that in the gospel and it is in the 10 commandments that “we should love our neighbors”. We should use what we have to help them be heard because we don’t understand what they feel; we don’t know how they get treated at their own society. We should be proud of their choice and support what they want to be. We get nothing if we keep criticizing others, and you might ask what do we get if we support them? Well you’ll feel happy that they are free, you don’t keep the anger inside of you. It’s like supporting others makes them happy which makes you happy. We need to treat them equally. Do you support LGBTQ?
