Abstract

The LGBTQ community has always been in a position of discrimination in society. They are considered “abnormal” by others for a variety of reasons: religion, race, social status, etc. With the development of society, people have different views on such groups. However, most people still hold prejudice against them. Our propose is to solve and reduce the discrimination of LGBTQ groups. Stigma also causes problems for this minority group: mental health disorders as well as violence from others. We figure out several solutions to help LGBTQ people, which are Detailed Psychological Consultation and Good Social Conduct. Gradually, there are more and more laws about homosexual people to protect their rights. In general, conservatives hold that LGBTQ people are not discriminated against in society and their status is largely normalized. In fact, it is impossible that there is no stigma with minority groups. Most of gay people are still reluctant to reveal their identity, which means discrimination indeed exists. In the meanwhile, social stigma and self stigma are also appear in the society. We wish LGBTQ people will have a normal position around the world one day.
