LGBT Discrimination
LGBT stands for “lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans-gender” people. This is an acronym used since 1990’s a self- designation formerly known as “gay community”. Twenty- four countries currently allow gays and lesbians to serve openly in the military. Seven countries have passed legislation to recognize marriage rights for LGBT citizens. Five states recognize marriage equality. Thirty states have passed constitutional amendments of laws explicitly banning same- sex marriage. Thirty states fire on basis of sexuality and/or gender identity. In regards to LGBT rights, statistics show not only how far we have to go in the struggle for equality, but also how far we’ve come.
