LGBTQ Teen and Adults: Why do people in our society today decided to hurt our people because of being different?
In our society today, there are people who are homosexuals, or attracted to the same sex. This means they are physically, emotionally, or sexually attracted to partners of the same sex. Now, people are very against LGBTQ’s (lesbian, gay, Bisexual, transsexual, or questioning) Why? Because some people can’t grasp the reality of it, of people being attracted to the same sex. Well… guess what? Get over it! People are Gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender/ transsexual. I’m here today to state facts and evidence as well as a little of my opinion on this topic. I don’t believe in hating people because of being different. I mean, when you really think about it, none of us are the same. If you are LGBTQ it means that you are one or more of the following:

Bisexual; this means that you are attracted to both the same sex and the opposite sex. This can be used to describe both men and women.
4. Transgender/Transsexual; this means that you were born one gender and that you changed to the opposite gender.
5. Questioning; this means that you are not sure if you’re any of the above, that you are still trying to figure that out.
Some people who oppose LGBTQ’s may say things like “they choose to be gay.” Or “it’s a sin” but there have been scientific studies showing that they actually don’t choose. The things in people’s brains that make people feel attracted to the same gender or to the opposite gender naturally make them feel the way they feel. Just like, if you’re straight you can’t choose to fall for someone who is the same gender as you. Just to clarify, being LGBTQ is NOT a mental illness. It CANNOT be cured with therapy or
