EDUCATION, HUMAN DEVELOPMENT AND SUSTAINABLE GROWTH

Human rights are some moral norms that each and every person in this world possesses merely because they are human being. These rights are regardless of who they are, where they come from, their ethnic origin, their status or their gender identity. They are applicable to every one of all ages and in every corner of this world. But in today's world, in all places there walks people who disregard these rights when it comes in terms of some people such as the LGBTQ community. In our society, people don't even regard them as human beings; hence, acknowledging their human rights is a distant dream. LGBTQ is the initialism for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer. This term is used as an umbrella term to label topics about sexuality and gender identity. The community includes anyone who is non-heterosexual. These communities celebrate pride, diversity, individuality, and sexuality. LGBTQ activist and sociologists view these communities as an opportunity to counterweigh heterosexism, homophobia, conformist pressures, etc. that exist in today's society. Even though people from LGBTQ community are equally eligible to human rights as we all are, they face problems in each and every phase of their lives starting from the very place that they call their “home” only for the mere fact that their sexual preferences differ from ours. From the moment they come out as someone with a different sexual preference, they are bullied in every way possible, which forces many people to live their entire life as someone who they are not. Today, there are many laws to protect the rights of the LGBTQ community.
