LGBTQ

LGBTQ community bound together by the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer communities. The LGBTQ community in India lives life in the shadow of darkness. We have all heard of the stigma that comes in associating with the community whether as a member or supporter. But the major concern is How far people go to understand the nuances of family dynamics that come due to social prejudices, the oppressive legalities and disruptive protective services and their potential devastating impact on the community. Despite rapidly growing cultural acceptance of sexual and romantic orientations but gender identification and marginalisation of LGBTQ people still persists. The discrimination, oppresion, family in the face of social expectations, pressure lead to higher levels of depression, anxiety, substance use, and other mental concerns for LGBTQ people. Research shows that youth who identified as LGBTQ are at high risk of suicidal ideation and self-harm, particularly when they experience social discrimination from the society on the basis of their sexual and gender identity. According to 2017 survey students who identified as lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender were almost ten times as likely to have experienced bullying and victimization at school and more than twice as likely to have considered suicide.
