In the article, “Discrimination Against The LGBTQ+ Community” I was able to learn that many people who come out tend to get harassed and mistreated, and some of them have to deal with this all the time within this society. This is an absolutely horrible situation that has been going on for a while now because this can lead to depression especially amongst young people. Just because people express themselves they get treated very unfairly and can even be led to either verbal or physical abuse.
I think this is a very big problem even now that people are starting to get comfortable with expressing themselves. It can lead to dangerous situations. Some people do get good , positive reactions for coming out but for others it must be really tough to not get that acceptance.
Dear Karen:
I am interested by your post, “Discrimination In LGBTQ+ ,” because you bring up issues that the LGBTQ+ community face. You talk about the unfairness and inequality people of the LGBTQ+ community have to go through.
One sentence you wrote that stands out for me is: “I think this is a very big problem even now that people are starting to get comfortable with expressing themselves.” I think that you’re right because how can they express themselves if they are shamed by homophobic people. They should be free to express themselves how they want. Why should homophobic people care so much about someone’s life that doesn’t apply to them or harm them.
Thanks for your writing. I look forward to seeing what you write next, because it brings light to lgbtq+ topics. I also liked the way you wrote.

Dear Karen:
I am excited about your post, ¨Discrimination In LGBTQ+,¨ because I am excited about this topic because it is something that the community I think cannot and will not overcome. It excites me that there are people like you who comment a little about what happens with the feelings of these people.
One sentence you wrote that stands out for me is: ¨This is an absolutely horrible situation that has been going on for a while now because this can lead to depression, especially among young people.¨ I think this is important because we are not alone in hurting the people of this community with words but many times we are edging them to the precipice without realizing it. It’s ugly that our community can’t leave this topic alone and start treating this type of situation as if nothing had happened.
Thanks for your writing. I look forward to seeing what you write next, because I like that you talk about this topic that I think is very much in the at tabu and I think it shouldn’t be there. Also, it is good that people know that this is going to be something that will continue in our communities and that sooner or later we will have to get used to this issue.

Dear Karen,
Your post, “Discrimination In LGBTQ+,” was a eye opening to me, and informed me that just because people express themselves they get treated very unfairly and can even be led to either verbal or physical abuse. It’s a very horrible situation.
One sentence you wrote that stood out for me was: “people who come out tend to get harassed and mistreated, and some of them have to deal with this all the time within this society” I think this is very disappointing because no human, no matter what they identify as should go through this.
Thank you for writing about this topic.
Dear Karen,
I would say that your post is really understandable because it would be talking about people who are mistreated people that like the same gender which thereś is nothing wrong with that but many people make it a big deal.
A sentence that makes this whole post stand out would be ¨just because people express themselves they get treated very unfairly and can even be led to either verbal or physical abuse.¨
thank you for sharing I would totally love to see more about your post.
Dear Karen,
I understand your post, Discrimination In LGBTQ+, because people who are comfortable coming out are harassed and bullied as a result of their choice. Others should assist people and make them feel as if they are just like everyone else.
Many people who come out are harassed and mistreated, and some of them have to deal with this on a regular basis inside this society, according to one statement you wrote. This is quite significant, in my opinion, because it is a current issue.
Thank you for taking the time to write. I’m excited to see what you come up with next because you care about other people’s sentiments.

Dear Karen,
My eyes really opened when reading your post, ¨Discrimination in LGBTQ+ because it´s definitely a bigger problem than it is made to be. It isn’t right that people are getting negative lash back just because they are expressing who they are. It´s already hard for people to show who they really are so the fact that they have to deal with harassment for it is really unfair and isn´t right at all.
One quote that really stood out to me was, ¨This is an absolutely horrible situation that has been going on for a while now because this can lead to depression…¨ This stood out to me because it´s true, this has been going on for a while so why hasn´t something been done about it? Why does it still continue going on? What´s even more horrible is the fact that it clearly affects people emotionally.
Thanks for your writing, I am looking forward
to your next piece because I appreciate how you not only talk about the situation but also include the feelings of people.

Dear, Karen
I am understanding about your post, ¨Discrimination In LGBTQ+ because people who are feeling comfortable about coming out are getting harassed and bullied by their decision. People should be supported by others and make them feel like they are like everyone else.
One sentence that you wrote that stood out to me was, ¨…many people who come out tend to get harassed and mistreated, and some of them have to deal with this all the time within this society.¨ I think this is really important because this is a problem that is going on today.
Thanks for writing. I look forward to seeing what you write next because you take time to care about other peopleś feelings.

Dear Karen,
I am aware of the message that is spoken in your discussion about the LGBTQIA+ community. I think that coming out has been going on for a while, but it has never gone to this point in time where so many people of that regards get made fun of all the time. We could see all over the social media platforms that those regarded as “gay” or always being bullied and verbally harassed.
A sentence that stood out to me was where you said that it is a big issue especially now that people are beginning to just get comfortable with themselves. I agree with this because I am sure that before people started coming out as much as today, they were afraid of what might happen and how it may affect friendships as well as just themselves in general. And as seen today, it is proven that they do get made fun of and are dealing with much more hate than those who are “straight.”
I really enjoyed this topic because I think that there needs to be some sort of way, we can all get together to spread awareness. I hope that you keep talking about this issue or any other sorts just as long as we get information that is never really talked about. Thank you for writing about this and I hope to hear more from what you need to say.
great letter.
Dear Karen,
I am intrigued by your post discussing the LGBTQIA+ community. I think this is something that has been a long debate on whether they should have certain rights. I full-heartedly disagree because although everyone is different I know that even with our differences we could get along. Treating someone based solely on the people they love shouldn’t be an excuse to be repulsed by one’s lifestyle; it’s something normal that most everyone experiences.
In a situation where a person of the LGBTQIA+ community is being verbally or physically abused, I would try to make the other person who is making them uncomfortable leave. If you’re someone who has to harass someone to get your opinion out then you are narrow-minded and shouldn’t be taken seriously. Putting others down for who they love shouldn’t be an excuse to hurt them because everyone loves someone.
Thank you for writing about this topic, The LGBTQIA+ community deserves all the respect it needs because all the discrimination they’ve been through is not something to ignore. I genuinely look forward to what else you have to say in the future.
Dear Karen,
I am very fascinated by your post “Discrimination in the LGBTQ+” in regards to how members of the LGBTQ+ community and how people are still being mistreated on a constant basis. It seems as if every day that goes by something worse continues to happen in society. Why is it that people can’t just respect other people and the way in which they live their lives?
One sentence that you wrote that stands out to me is “This is an absolutely horrible situation that has been going on for a while now because this can lead to depression, especially amongst young people.” I think it is very important how you quickly made the connection of mental health due to people not being accepted by society only because of their sexuality.
Thanks for your writing. I look forward to seeing what you write next because this is an issue that is continuously seen in society today.
I think the LGBTQ+ community should be treated like the straight community. They should be treated with respect and they should be accepted more. Lesbians shouldn’t be treated as objects and if she’s lesbian that doesn’t mean a man will get two girls. Trans should be able to feel comfortable and not discriminated against for wanting to belong. For wanting to be who they are. And for the boys who think so gay men do not want you. Gay men don’t just like every man they see. Just as though you don’t like everybody you see. And stop making fun of people because of the way they dress. the way they express themselves. It’s not anybody’s place but their own and it never will be.
If I were in the situation of telling my parent I would wait until I was ready. If I were in the situation truly I wouldn’t know what else to do. I don’t know how it is to get harassed for coming out or get harassed for already being out.
