LGBT Social Acceptance and Inclusivity
The transgender issue is most common problem in our society. The number of transgenders in our society are increasing gradually but we fail to accept them for our narrow vision. It is very shameful to us that in the time of modern culture we are breaking many old concepts and accepting new concept. Let's seek to grasp the term-transgender meaning. There are individuals who differ from their birth sex by their sexual identity or gender expression. The research reviewed concentrated mainly on transgender people's key concerns and public acceptance. The M. Ed focusing on curriculum is important because this is the professional and mostly filed based work as a teacher educator. If we emphasize M. Ed's transgender term. Curriculum then teacher trainer will be easily useful for transgender empowerment. Although over the past two decades a significant body of LGBT health information has been established, much remains to be explored. What can we do to empower LGBT rights? What are the priorities for a research agenda to address these gaps?
Some say LGBT community should be treated with equal rights as everyone, while others say marriages between same-sex couples should not be recognized by the law as valid. The LGBT community is also being criminalized and sentenced.
What Richard did to Sasha as seen in the 57 Bus story is clear reflection of what is happening in our society today. There is a lot of violence against people of different sexual orientations and gender identities, some nations go as far as giving people the death penalty or incarceration. We must therefore ask ourselves whether there is a connection between the level of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) acceptance and the level of inclusiveness of the laws of a country. According to Sasha, gender is "the term for what people feel about themselves, how they feel inside," and it does not automatically correspond with the biological sex at birth (Slater).
Community values are reflected in the school’s curriculum, and teachers could bridge the divide between privileged and marginalized students by honoring their identities. Traditional curricula that rely on whole-class topics that privilege heteronormative expectations do a great disservice to diverse learners. These topics isolate students. However, topics with LGBT representation normalize LGBT students, creating a safe space for academic and emotional growth. Scholars are beginning to develop models for understanding LGBT integration in education, but the role of religion in encouraging or hindering LGBT inclusion has been theorized (Revelle, Carol and Anna Waugh).

Discussion Personal and Professional Social Work ValuesHeterose.docxduketjoy27252
Discussion: Personal and Professional Social Work Values
Heterosexism is defined as "the discrimination or prejudice by heterosexuals against homosexuals" (merriam-webster.com) and is predicated on the belief that being heterosexual is the norm and the only accepted type of relationship.
Everyday heterosexism is exemplified in our media, our policies, and daily practices. By making these assumptions, social workers can be in part culpable for the oppression and marginalization experienced by the LGBTQ community.
As a profession, social work embraces diversity and strives to ensure equal rights for all. The National Association of Social Workers (NASW) is committed to supporting the needs of these groups and, in turn, they created the National Committee on Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender Issues. During this week's discussion you will be asked to consider how one's own personal views on sexual orientation may clash with the profession's stance.
By Day 3
Post a scenario of how a social worker's personal, ethical, and moral values in relation to the LGBTQ community might conflict with those of their clients. Explain the distinction between personal ethics and values and professional ethics and values evident in the social work profession in addressing this community. Be specific and explain how this distinction relates to the scenario you posted. Also explain how prejudice and bias might create barriers to fulfilling your professional responsibility to the LGBTQ community.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

3. Introduction/Background
LGBT or GLBT is an acronym that stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender. The acronym, as well as some
of its common variants, functions as an umbrella term for sexuality and gender identity.
To recognize this inclusion, a popular variant, LGBTQ, adds the letter Q for those who identify as queer or
are questioning their sexual or gender identity.
Those who add intersex people to LGBT groups or organizing may use the extended initialism LGBTI. These two
initialisms are sometimes combined to form the terms LGBTIQ or LGBT+ to encompass spectrums of
sexuality and gender.
Other, less common variants also exist, such as LGBTQIA+, with the A standing for "asexual" or "aromantic".
PAGE NO. 3
4. Status
Lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) rights in India have evolved in recent years. However, Indian LGBT
citizens face certain social and legal difficulties not experienced by non-LGBT persons.
The country has repealed its colonial-era laws that directly discriminated against homosexual and transgender
identities and also explicitly interpreted Article 15 of the Constitution to prohibit discrimination on the basis of sexual
orientation and gender identity. But many legal protections have not been provided for, including same-sex marriage.
Transgender people in India are allowed to change their legal gender post-sex reassignment surgery under legislation
passed in 2019, and have a constitutional right to register themselves under a third gender. Additionally, some states
protect hijras, a traditional third gender population in South Asia through housing programmes, and offer welfare
benefits, pension schemes, free operations in government hospitals as well as other programmes designed to assist
them. There are approximately 480,000 transgender people in India.

5. Meaning/Definition
lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer/questioning (one's sexual or gender identity), intersex, and
asexual/aromantic/agender
L: Lesbian
Today, the term "lesbian" is used to describe "female-identified people attracted romantically, erotically, and/or
emotionally to other female-identified people," explains the University of Illinois, Springfield's Gender and Sexuality
Services.
G: Gay
Before the latter half of the 19th century, the word "gay" simply referred to someone who was "carefree," "cheerful," or
"bright and showy," according to The Oxford Dictionary of Difficult Words. In the '40s and '50s, the word began to be
used as underground slang referring to both males and females who were attracted to the same sex. Since then, the
word "gay" has fully replaced the term "homosexual," which many found to be too clinical and was riddled with stigma.
B: Bisexual
A bisexual person is typically defined as someone who is attracted to people of their gender and other genders—
although even experts within the LGBTQIA+ community offer a range of definitions.
PAGE NO. 5
6. T: Transgender
The word "transgender" is an umbrella term used for "people whose gender identity and/or gender expression differs
from what is typically associated with the sex they were assigned at birth," according to GLAAD.
Q: Queer or Questioning
The "Q" in the LGBTQIA+ acronym has two meanings: "queer" and "questioning." But the former is the most
common.
Often, "queer" is used as a blanket term to define the "sexual preferences, orientations, and habits of the not-
exclusively-heterosexual-and-monogamous majority," according to the University of Illinois.
I: Intersex
The term "intersex" is used to describe people who are born with reproductive or sexual anatomy that doesn't fit the
typical definitions of male and female, according to the Intersex Society of North America. And, just as there are a
range of sexual orientations and gender identities within the LGBTQIA+ community, there are also an array of
biological characteristics that exist among those who are intersex.
A: Asexual or Assistant
According to LGBTQIA+ experts at Williams College, asexual people are simply defined as those who do not feel a
sexual attraction to others. This term is not to be confused with "aromantic," which refers to individuals who feel little
or no romantic attraction to others. Asexual people can often be romantically attracted to someone, but sexual
attraction doesn't play a role in the relationship.
PAGE NO. 6
7. CAUSES
• There are many causes of addiction in the LGBTQIA
community. However, the most common cause for
concern among most LGBTQIA youths is their fear of
seeking treatment. Due to the fear of discrimination
existing in medical professionals, they neglect the need
for addiction treatment.
PAGE NO. 7
8. Effects/Consequences
The popular Nickelodeon animated TV show “The Legend of Korra” helped fuel the debates of queer representation in
children’s media, because the season finale ended with a same-sex relationship. The creators even confirmed Korra
and Asami are bisexual.
“You can celebrate it, embrace it, accept it, get over it, or whatever you feel the need to do, but there is no
denying it.
According to Ewing, research shows that children’s media does help shape their beliefs and perceptions about what is
“normal.” A more inclusive, normative and sensitive portrayal of gender and romantic minorities in children’s media will
likely have a tremendous impact on future generations thinking, and hopefully their actions as well.
Discrimination against lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people is now on the world stage. Russia’s
hosting of the 2014 Winter Olympics has brought a spotlight not only on Russia’s harsh anti-gay laws, but also the
treatment of LGBT people everywhere. While substantial gains have been made in the acceptance of LGBT people,
bias is still prevalent and has real mental health consequences.
PAGE NO. 8
9. CHALLENGE
S/LIMITATIO
NS
• People who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender
(LGBT) face particular obstacles, barriers, and challenges
that frequently make it difficult for them to find and receive
competent and affirming healthcare. Heterosexist
assumptions can adversely affect the quality of treatment,
and fear of a negative experience keeps many LGBTs from
seeking help. Organizations and individual therapists are not
always LGBT friendly, and some therapists may not even
recognize their own heterosexism. Staff can be judgmental
toward LGBT sexuality, or be misinformed/uninformed about
LGBT resources. In one UK study, over 40% of lesbians
recounted negative/mixed reactions from mental health
professionals when they were open about sexuality (including
instances of overt homophobia, discrimination, and perceived
lack of empathy)13 .

10. Policy/Legal Provisions/Schemes and Other Govt.
Initiatives
The state of West Bengal set up a transgender welfare board in 2015 to coordinate all policy decisions and
development work pertaining to the transgender population in the state.
The Government of Himachal Pradesh has set up medical boards at the district and state level for assisting
transgender people.
In April 2017, the Ministry of Drinking Water and Sanitation instructed states to allow transgender people to use the
public toilet of their choice.
In October 2017, the Karnataka Government issued the "State Policy for Transgenders, 2017", with the aim of raising
awareness of transgender people within all educational institutions in the state.
On 28 November 2017, N. Chandrababu Naidu, the Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh, announced the enactment of
pension plans for transgender people.
PAGE NO. 10
11. In February 2019, the Maharashtra Government set up a "Transgender Welfare Board" to conduct health programmes
and provide formal education and employment opportunities to transgender people.
In July 2019, the Bihar Government announced the creation of a transgender welfare board, which would investigate
and report on social and legal challenges faced by transgender people in the state and provide financial assistance of
up to ₹150,000 for sex reassignment surgery.
On 6 September 2018, consensual gay sex was legalised by India's Supreme Court. Section 377 of the Indian Penal
Code (IPC), dating back to 1861, makes sexual activities "against the order of nature" punishable by law and carries a
life sentence.
PAGE NO. 11
In 2014, the Supreme Court of India, in the case of National Legal Services Authority Union of
India, established the foundation for the rights of transgender persons in India by recognizing
‘transgender’ as the ‘third gender’ and laying down several measures for prohibition of discrimination
against transgender persons and protection of their rights.
12. Initiative of NGO/VO/Foundations/CSR etc…
Humsafar Trust is an NGO in Mumbai which promotes LGBT rights. Founded by Ashok Row Kavi in 1994, it is one of
the largest and most active of such organizations in India. It provides counselling, advocacy and healthcare to LGBT
communities and has helped reduce violence, discrimination and stigma against them. Humsafar Trust is the convenor
member of Integrated Network for Sexual Minorities (INFOSEM).

13. Criticism
Organizations influential in LGBT rights opposition frequently oppose the representation of laws making same-sex
marriage legal, anti-discrimination laws aimed at limiting anti-LGBT discrimination, including in employment and
housing, the passage of anti-bullying laws to protect LGBT minors, laws decriminalizing same-gender relationships,
and other LGBT rights related laws. These groups are often religious or socially conservative in nature. Such
opposition can be motivated by homophobia, transphobia, bigotry, animosity, religion, moral beliefs, political
ideologies, or other reasons.
On October 6, 1860, sodomy was legally forbidden in India according to Section 377 of the Indian Penal
Code. This was ruled unconstitutional in 2009 by the Delhi High Court but reaffirmed on 11 December 2013 by a
Supreme Court ruling. It was again legalized by the Supreme Court on 6 September 2018.

15. Role of Social Workers
People who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer (LGBTQ) are members of every community, and include people of all races
and ethnicities, all ages, all faiths and socioeconomic statuses, and from all parts of the country. Whether we identify as members of the
LGBTQ community, as friends, colleagues, and/or as service providers, social workers are key partners in the vital efforts to ensure
wellness, safety, and equity for all LGBTQ people.
Social workers have a shared commitment to promoting laws, policies and programming that affirm, support, and value LGBTQ
individuals, families, and communities.
