Lesbian , Gay , Bisexual, and Transgender (LGBT discrimination)

It is indirect sexual orientation discrimination to have a rule, policy or practice which someone of
a particular sexual orientation is less likely to be able to meet, and this places them at a
disadvantage to people of a different sexual orientation. An example of indirect discrimination
because of sexual orientation is where a club has a policy of offering free membership to all
husbands and wives of its members, but not to civil partners. If you think that indirect sexual
orientation discrimination might have occurred, you may be able to make a complaint about it.
However, if the person or organisation you are complaining about can show that there are
genuine reasons for the rule, policy or practice and that it has nothing to do with sexual
orientation, this won't count as discrimination.

Review of related literature

Review of Related LiteratureLGBT Communities and Domestic Violence
Based on this study, it is deeply explained that the people who identify as “lesbian” or “gay”
usually have primary intimate relationships with partners of their own gender and peoplewho
identify as “bisexual” usually have primary intimate relationships with partners of the same or
different genders. This direction of a person’s sexual attraction is considered sexual orientation.
“Trans” on the other hand, is not a sexual orientation, it is a gender identity. Genderidentity
involves all the ways individuals experience themselves as being female, male or something
else.It is also said on this study that trans has become an umbrella term for people who
experience the gender theyidentify with as different from the biological gender they were born
with, or who in some way transgress the restrictivegender boundaries and expectations of the
dominant culture. Trans people may be lesbian, gay, bisexual, heterosexual or something else.
Therefore, the descriptors “same gender” and “gender-variant,” used with the term
“relationship,” means intimate relationships between and with people who identify as lesbian,
gay, bisexual or transgender.

Conclusion and recommendations

ConclusionAll things considered, this essay has discussed equal rights for gay people. My position
on equal rights is that the idea of rights and liberty have existed in some form for much of human
history, they do not resemble the modern conception of human rights while equal rights is mainly
discussed and considered for equivalent between men and women, not include gay or lesbian. As
a result, while adopting children is unacceptable, gay couples should not get married because gay
marriage will change the foundation of society. Heterosexual marriage has been around for a long
time, and we could never adapt to new social norms because we haven’t adapted to things like
cars or longer lifespan.
