What do you think about LGTB ?

LGBT adults recognize the change in attitudes: About nine-in-ten (92%) said in a 2013 Pew Research Center survey of adults identifying as LGBT that society had become more accepting of them in the previous decade.

Being Queer is a medical reality. Your brain is telling you that you want to get with people of the same sex, or both, or in between. Medical science is slowly identifying the neurology of Queer.

despite pockets of support for employment discrimination, those responses suggest there may be global support for making it safer for LGBT people to be out on the job.

Perhaps as a result of this growing acceptance, the number of people who identify as LGBT in surveys is also rising.

However, Queer communities tend to be rife with highly vocal people who want their Queerness to be a critique of bourgeois society.

The United States, of course, has yet to pass our own Employment Non-Discrimination Act.

About 10 million people, or 4.1% of the U.S. adult population, identified as LGBT in 2016, according to the latest estimates from Gallup.

Conveniently, your critique can give you an excuse not to get up at 6:30 AM on a weekday morning in January, go out, freeze and take the bus to work. Instead, demand a government subsidy.

This represents a modest but significant increase from 8.3 million people (3.5% of adults) who said they were LGBT in 2012.

whatever courses activists in different countries choose, American advocates should be cautious about assuming that it’s possible to export a U.S. model for equality abroad.

This is a political stance. All the radical politics in the world is not a substitute for disrobing with people of various genders and performing sexual acts. Weird clothes and an attitude don't having anything to do with gender preferences.

They don't result in any type of solidarity in the LGBT world. Instead they create irritation and annoyance.

Survey researchers face a number of challenges in measuring LGBT identity, and there is no consensus about how best to measure sexual orientation.

In fact, the idea that same-sex attraction is a Western, and potentially colonial, export infringing on other countries’ cultures pops up in a number of regions where respondents showed other discomforts about LGBT rights.

Any minority community has them, people who are professionals about whatever minority they claim to be. Say you actually are willing to get up and take the 7:00 AM bus to downtown Ottawa.

Some rely on respondents self-identifying as LGBT (the technique used in surveys such as the Gallup and Pew Research Center polls), while others base their estimates on reports of sexual behavior or sexual attraction, which usually result in higher estimates.

Well, maybe if you talk loud you can get a job being a gender preference, anti-harassment, reasonable accommodation specialist. It's a good deal. Since you are a member of a persecuted minority nobody dares say a critical word to you.

Forty-seven percent of African respondents said that homosexuality was a “Western world phenomenon,” as did 42 percent of Asian respondents.

Other challenges include the stigmatization of identifying as LGBT in some cultures and respondents being unfamiliar with the terms used.

as the report’s authors’ noted, 48 percent of Russian respondents agreed with that statement, too.

Soon you have your civil service tenure and you are good to go, right up to that indexed, defined benefits, rock solid pension.

Bisexuals make up the largest share of LGBT Americans. An analysis by UCLA’s Williams Institute in 2011 found that bisexuals accounted for about 1.8% of the total U.S. adult population at the time

A slightly smaller share (1.7%) were gay or lesbian. And the latest Williams Institute estimates, from 2016, find that 0.6% of U.S. adults, or 1.4 million people, identify as transgender.

During the Obama administration, American embassies have had an explicit mandate to advocate for LGBT rights

In Pew Research Center’s 2013 survey of LGBT Americans, 40% of respondents said they were bisexual, while 36% identified as gay men, 19% as lesbians and 5% as transgender.
