“I think my ‘coming out’ may have softened my family’s attitudes; it’s easier to accept something you don’t understand if a family member you already know and love comes out as gay. ”
While doing the proposal, I got some data about the people around LGBT who think about them.
As you can see, for the LGBT people, to achieve heterosexuality, their sexual orientation or gender identity is to learn self-acceptance. This is not an easy task, so getting positive recognition from family, friends and the community can help them gain happiness and confidence in the true self.
The study reveals that the LGBT community still lacks the support of family members and friends and the community, and that people are not open to their sexual orientation and gender identity.
This inspired me a lot in help LGBT people to recognized themselves. In my opinion, the lack of support from family and friends is the most important reason why LGBT people do not dare to speak or even develop mental illness. For the reason why I did it this way, I also noticed that there are still too many LGBT people who are unable to communicate with their families and may face a lack of support. A significant number of LGBT people suffer from domestic abuse in their personal relationships.
So, why did it happened? Some people or organizations have LGBT inclusiveness, providing a welcoming space for LGBT people to worship and practice their faith. However, many faithful LGBT people are still not popular in their faith community and therefore feel unable to open to anyone in their community. The LGBT community therefore stated that more inclusive services and faith groups are needed. That is because we should provide spiritual and social support to those who strive to integrate their beliefs with gender identity or sexual orientation and family members.
What is more, from those data I learned the society is changing, most LGBT people tell at least some of their friends, and even nearly half of them are open to everyone in the family. This means that more of them can be the ones who are most important to them, which is crucial to their confidence and happiness. However, they still get some opposition voices. I feel that it will take a long time to truly agree with it, but as long as the heterosexuals change the idea about them and the LGBT people will be more confident in the feature.
