What is LGBT? LGBT stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender and along with heterosexual they describe people's sexual orientation or gender identity. These terms are explained in more detail here. The symbol of LGBT community is a rainbow flag, commonly known as the gay pride flag.
Who is the gay? A gay man is one who is romantically, sexually and / or emotionally attracted to men. The word gay can be used to refer generally to lesbian, gay and bisexual people but many women prefer to be called lesbian. Most gay people do not like to be referred to as homosexual because of the negative historical associations with the word and because the word gay better reflects their identity.
What is Coming Out? Coming Out is the term used by lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people to describe their experience of discovery, self-acceptance, openness and honesty about their LGBT identity and their decision to disclose, i. e. to share this with others when and how they choose.
Homophobia refers to fear of or prejudice and discrimination against lesbian, gay and bisexual people. It is also the dislike of samesex attraction and love or the hatred of people who have those feelings. The term was first used in the 1970 s and is more associated with ignorance, prejudice and stereotyping than with the physiological reactions usually attributed to a 'phobia'. While homophobic comments or attitudes are often unintentional, they can cause hurt and offence to lesbian, gay and bisexual people.
The attitude of Russian people towards homosexuals people Russia has traditionally been socially conservative on LGBT rights, with 2013 polls indicating a large majority of Russians oppose legal recognition of same-sex marriage and support laws discriminating against LGBT people. In 2013, 16% of Russians surveyed said that gay people should be isolated from society, 22% said they should be forced to undergo treatment, and 5% said homosexuals should be "liquidated".
The attitude of Americans towards LGBT America is shifting to more liberal policies concerning controversial social issues. A survey by the Public Religion Research Institute (PRRI) shows that there is an increase in gay and lesbian tolerance among all age and political group, religious sectors, and regions in the country. The last decade saw the legalization of same-sex marriage by 17 states.
Identify your orientation is difficult. People go through many obstacles before being determined. So, we must be tolerant towards LGBT people. And no matter what is sex this person, because everyone has the right to love. Homosexuals are needed support, not humiliation and insults. Gay can be everyone, so we must understand that our attitude towards the LGBT community plays an important role.
Many actors, who we love, belong to the homosexual community. However, no one condemns, but rather admire them. Since we don't care about their orientation, we like their talent. For example, Zachary Quinto and Matt Boomer. In my opinion, all people are equal, and the orientation plays no role. We need to love and respect all people.
