1. What is the LGBT community trying to do with all of this? A. We need to start clarifying what everything means in the community. i.

As I found in an article wrote by Stephen Peters, “LGBT people are included in the federal hate crimes law; but fewer than half of states have passing or expanding laws which aim to protect LGBT individuals from bullying in schools or discrimination in employment

The LGBT community has made new laws each day to bring equality to all. “Throughout its, America has symbolized equality of opportunity for people of all races, origins, religions and creeds, serving as a beacon of hope for anyone seeking a better life. However, despite its founding principles of equality and acceptance, the United States also has a long history of denying basic rights to certain people” (LGBT Equality).

the LGBT community is a growing population. Essentially, as the baby-Boomer generation, ages the older adult population increases. The Kimmel article states, “a Gallup survey of 120,000 U.S adults indicates that at least 3.4% identify as LGBT.” I firmly believe Psychological service providers and caregivers of the aging population need to be more sensitive and accommodating to LGBT community.

Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender. These are all names that are given to those in society who view themselves differently from the world because of their sexuality. The LGBT community has grown tremendously throughout the years. Worldwide, millions of people have joined or are joining this community to depict their pride in who they are, as they walk the brave streets of New York and Los Angeles in their new beginning.

Media and its representation of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transsexual (LGBT) themes has been prevalent throughout time. According to the collections of studies and stories by Meem, Mitchell and Jonathan (2010) concerning LGBT individuals, it is important to represent such themes because it is able to enlighten people on how our society as a whole, has become dynamic.
