that he is a responsible

nowadays normalize a

B. Answer the following guide questions below.

1. In terms of acceptance, what are the behavioral effects of gender identity and
sexual orientation to the following? Explain. (Limit your answer by 7-10
sentences in each letter)

a. Family
- Families, particularly parents, want their children to be happy, healthy, and
safe. When a child comes out as LGBTQ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, or
queer), his or her family reacts in a variety of ways. At one extreme, they may
reject their child and even kick them out of the house. On the other end of the
spectrum, they celebrate their child's uniqueness. Some parents express their
love and support for their child immediately, but it takes time for them to
adjust. Most parents start out somewhere in the middle but gradually become
more accepting. So, whether or not that is something you anticipated or felt
prepared for, your acceptance is essential to their health and safety, because it
proved that a family's acceptance or rejection of a young person's LGBTQ status
has significant consequences for that child's health and well-being. Young
people who experienced high levels of family rejection were eight times more
likely to attempt suicide, nearly six times more likely to experience severe
depression, and more than three times more likely to use drugs or engage in
unprotected sex, because their greatest fear is not being accepted by their
family. So, having family approval is important because it makes them feel loved
and worthy, and it allows them to express who they truly are. Above all, it
would have a significant impact on how they perceived themselves and will be
able to gain support from them regardless of their gender identity. That is why
family acceptance is critical for every individual, especially those considered to
be part of the LGBTQ community.

b. School
- School is considered our second home and a safe space, particularly for
members of the LGBTQ community, because they can be true to themselves,
showing their true colors of whoever they are, because they feel safe and
accepted by their classmates and by their school. However, schools are
frequently unsafe for students who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual,
transgender, queer, or questioning (LGBTQ); they frequently experience
negative or hostile school climates, including bullying and discrimination based
on sexual orientation and gender identity. Negative school climates and
discriminatory experiences can greatly affect the well-being of LGBTQ students.
Allowing students to opt out of LGBTQ inclusive education highlights the goal of
fostering acceptance, reducing bullying and violence, and improving the mental
health of LGBTQ youth. Laws that forbid any positive portrayal of LGBTQ people
foster a hostile culture rampant with bullying and physical violence against
LGBTQ students, resulting in poor health outcomes for an already affected
person. True learning occurs when students feel supported and celebrated in
the classroom and when everyone in the school community, regardless of race,
ethnic background, sexual orientation, or gender identities, can be their
authentic selves. Support from school personnel, such as administrators,
educators, and staff, is critical in promoting the safety and well-being of
vulnerable and marginalized students, including LGBTQ students. It also shows
that when LGBTQ youth perceive school personnel to be supportive, they feel
safer at school, report lower absenteeism, experience less victimization based
on their sexual orientation and gender identity, feel like they belong in their
school community, and achieve higher grade point averages.
c. Church
- We all know that the Church believes in only two genders: male and female.
They had no concept of gay, lesbian, bisexual, or other sexual orientations
because they believed that God only created two. They criticize the LGBTQ
community because they believe it is forbidden. However, in some cases, the
Church makes a distinction between same-sex attraction and homosexual
behavior. People who have same-sex attraction or who identify as gay, lesbian,
or bisexual can make and keep covenants with God and participate fully and
worthily in the church. Identifying as gay, lesbian, bisexual, or experiencing
same-sex attraction is not a sin and does not preclude participation in the
church, holding callings, or visiting the temple. Members of the LGBTQ
community would feel welcomed as a result of this act.
d. Friends/Peer Group
- LGBTQ acceptance is critical for those who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual,
transgender, or queer. Someone who is coming out to their friends trusts them
enough to be honest and risk losing them as a friend. If their friends accept
them for who they truly are, they can gain more confidence and will feel loved
and valued by them. But it can be challenging to know what to say and do as a
supportive friend to someone who has "come out" to you. However, if they
have friends to talk to, LGBTQ people will feel free to be themselves without
hiding who they love or how they identify. They won't feel lonely anymore
because they have friends on their side who will accept them fully and truly and
who will protect them from the people who insult and discriminate against
them. That's why acceptance by people aside from their family is important for
them.
e. Community
- As of today, many people don't totally accept the LGBTQ members,
particularly in a community. And one of the factors that makes LGBT members
afraid to confess their true identity is the community. There are still people who
are closed-minded about this kind of matter. We can see that a lot of LGBT
members nowadays are still experiencing discrimination within their
community, with hurtful and offensive words being thrown at them. But
everyone should be treated equally, right? So, why do LGBT people often suffer
from various forms of discrimination and social exclusion, including physical and
psychological abuse, bullying, and persecution? For the LGBTQ community as a
whole, LGBTQ acceptance looks like political and economic power. It means
having equal access to healthcare, housing, and work opportunities. LGBTQ
identity should never prevent someone from progressing in their career,
receiving the pay they deserve, or playing an important role in a community.
They don't deserve the hate and judgement from us. Even though their
perspectives and gender are different from ours, we must respect and accept
them for who they truly are, because they're human too and have feelings.
