LGBTQ+ 1 Module Two Activity Southern New Hampshire University Dominique Karschner IDS 400: Diversity Professor Teague November 9, 2023
LGBTQ+ 2 The LGBTQ+ community has been facing countless challenges to be accepted in society for decades; they struggle to gain respect and be included. The community began pushing back against discrimination after the 1969 Stonewall incident, pushing the day rights movement further into action (Quinn, 2020). Since the movement started, the LGBTQ+ community and activists have been fighting for equal rights, bringing awareness to the discrimination and violence against the community. LGBTQ+ is an acronym that encloses the various identities of their diversities and specific experiences and challenges. All humans have similar needs and commonalities that allow us to find ways to relate to each other. However, our differences are so substantial that they threaten each other's values and beliefs. Our differences affect our ability to understand each other's perspectives as we experience life in numerous ways, and these ways are what make us different. Mental health issues significantly affect the LGBTQ+ community. However, anxiety and depression have a more significant effect on the transgender population.

The longer transgender individuals hold on getting gender-affirming treatment, the more likely they are to develop mental health issues, substance abuse, and suicide ideations. Some states began making the process of gender-affirming treatment harder to obtain by implementing laws that limited transgender people's access to their resources (Sussmane, 2021). Social science is the best lens to study this topic because it affects how communities interact. Humans desire to be needed and accepted, to have a place where they belong as respected members of society. LGBTQ+ community has historically experienced many issues with having others in society understand them and accept their differences. The topic is broad enough to be explored through different lenses; however, the social science lens brings more insight into various challenges the LGBTQ+ community faces. Thesis Statement: The LGBTQ+ community continues to face many challenges when trying to integrate with society successfully.
