Teacher: Mr. Romulo Ceraos

CONCEPT PAPER

LESBIAN, GAY, BISEXUAL, and TRANSGENDER (LGBT)

ACCEPTED OR TOLERATED

INTRUDUCTION:
The lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) communities may organist
themselves into, or support, movements for civil rights promoting LGBT rights in various
places around the world. LGBT people of faith need to be respect and included in their
faith communities, just as they need respect and acceptance in wider society. LGBT is
appropriate and useful for describing the combined population of lesbian, gay, bisexual,
and transgender people, it also can obscure the many differences that distinguish these
sexual- and gender-minority groups. As young LGBT suicides continue at shocking rates,
this is critical step in the right direction. Inclusion and tolerance in an academic setting
are crucial to the learning and development of all students. Moreover, the public
acceptance of LGBT individuals, and the media surrounding the issue, is important to
inclusion of all people in this modern society. The reminder of this section first describes
these commonalities and then some key difference within these population. But in the
Philippines student who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) too often find
that their schooling experience is marred by bullying, discrimination, lack of access to
LGBT-related information, and in some cases, physical or sexual assault. These abuses can
cause deep and lasting harm and curtail students’ right to education, protected under
Philippines and International Law.
BODY:
According to my research that has also experience lost economic opportunities due to
discrimination in students such as being required to wear clothes according to their sex-
assigned at birth as condition for hiring and outright refusal to hire applicants on the ground of
their Sexual Orientation and gender identity (SOGI). Around the world LGBTs are at high risk of
suicide which is linked with their experiences of being rejected and discriminated based on
their gender identity. This results to continued violations of LGBTs human rights by private as
well as public institutions and individuals. Section 3 of Republic Act 9710 otherwise known as
the Magna Carta of Women (MCW) provides that “all individuals are equal as human being by
virtue of the inherent dignity of each human person. No one should therefore suffer
discrimination on the basis of ethnicity, gender, age, language, sexual orientation, race, Color,
religion, political or other opinion, national, social or geographical origin, disability, property,
birth, or other status as established by human right standards.
