LGBTQ+ discrimination

LGBTQ+ discrimination involves unfair treatment of people based on their sexual orientation or gender identity. This can include verbal hostility, social exclusion, denial of equal rights, or even violence. Such discrimination stems from prejudices, stereotypes, or societal norms that view non-heterosexual or non-cisgender identities as different or abnormal. It can affect various aspects of life, including employment, housing, healthcare, and personal safety. Addressing LGBTQ+ discrimination requires understanding, acceptance, and legal protections to ensure all individuals are treated with dignity and equality, regardless of their identity.
