“ LGBT “
What a nice and a pleasant morning to all of you here ! “Equality” yes equality,
all of part of lgbt want an equality right ? why ? because a lot of people judge them by
what they are and what the use to do . why a lot of part of lgbt experience bullying ,
discrimination and some cases ,physical and sexual assault , lets talk about that , for
now on just relax and listen well.

Today Lgbt is the hottest news around the world in BBC, CAN
(channelnewsasia) etc. all about of being discrimination and bullying. First being bullied,
in the Philippines have recognized the bullying of LGBT youth is a serious problem
nowadays. 21% of LGBT population in the world are being bullied more high school
students whose self-identify as Lesbian, gay , or bisexual (LBG) report having been
bullied on school property and (33%) are cyberbullied . Bullying puts youth at increased
risk for depression, suicidal ideation, misuse of drugs and alcohol, risky sexual
behavior, and can affect academics as well. Second discrimination, a lot of LGBT
youths discriminate about being a gay or a lesbian because they look different to other .
suicide is the leading cause of death among gay and lesbian youths. Gay and lesbian
youths are 2 to 6 times more likely to attempt suicide than heterosexual youth. Over
30% of all reported teen suicides each year are committed by gay and lesbian youths.
Gays and lesbians are at much higher risk than the heterosexual population for alcohol
and drug abuse. Approximately 30% of both the lesbian and gay male populations have
problems with alcohol. Gay and lesbian youth are at greater risk for school failure than
heterosexual children. Fun fact !, heterosexual means a person sexually attracted to
people of the opposite sex (silahis).

We all know that being bully and discriminate is a serious crime , Government establish
a law to help the LBGT to protect their self using the (Human rights watch 2001) Often,
discrimination occurs unintentionally , We shouldn’t discriminate others based on age, religion,
race, ethnicity, class, education, appearance, sex, gender. It’s so easy to say, but many can’t do
it.Advocates have been making noise for decades, in hopes of educating the public and
influencing policymakers about gender rights, however, many remain ignorant.

Some say that same-sex relationships threaten society. I can think of many other things that are
a greater threat to society. Ladies and Gentlemen , To me Beauty is not about being
comfortable in your own skin, Its about knowing and accepting who you are . Good morning and
Thank you
