LGBTQIA Exposé
Ten percent of the World Population (Of Males) are Homosexuals. As of 8:34 AM on February 11th, 2016, there are 7,304,743,645(World Population) and more than 50% are male. That makes 3,652,371,823 of the world male. Ten percent of that would mean that there are 365,237,182 male Homosexuals. Forty-five percent of the World is female, and that makes 3,287,134,640 compared to males. If 10% are lesbians, then that means 328,713,464 of the population in the world are lesbians. Add those two numbers together, and there are 693,950,646 people in the world who are Homosexuals. This is one reason why the movement for equal rights in Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer/Questioning, Intersex, and Asexual Citizens is avouched for,

and supported greatly worldwide.
There are more than 25 important celebrities/supporters of the LGBTQIA Community and Movement.

For instance, Tyler Oakley- an online personality and homosexual himself, is one of the leading advocate in the community. “He has raised $525,704 for The Trevor Project”(The Trevor Project). The Trevor Project is an organization that helps prevent suicide in LGBTQIA youth. Another man by the name of Sigmund Freud opened a research center on sexuality, and argued against most that people are born homosexual, and that it is not an illness. Henry Gerber, back in 1924, founded the “Society of Human Rights” Organization. This was one of the first organizations to help and protect Homosexuals from police brutality and discrimination, unfortunately he was put on trial because of the article “Strange Sex Cult Exposed”. He was saved from prison because he was arrested without a warrant(Wiki). There was also the Stonewall Inn back in 1924, which was a Gay Bar until the police broke in to arrest people, though it failed when rioters stood up for themselves. Now the Inn is still running, but puts up a rainbow flag to and represent the revolutionary moment of the movement- the

Kickstarter(Stonewall).
The LGBTQIA Social Movement is a movement that advocates for equal rights and acceptance for LGBTQIA Citizens. The movement is trying to allow LGBTQIAs in today’s society be treated equally around the world- especially in Middle Eastern countries. In Saudi Arabia, Homosexuality, Transgenderism, and Cross-Dressing is considered immoral and indecent behavior, It is illegal and people are arrested for life in prison, whipping/flogging, execution, and chemical castration. The people there are not allowed to be in the military, have no expression for themselves, have no protection and others are encouraged to discriminate them, and same-sex couples are not allowed to adopt, nor are accepted as a couple(Wiki2).
Last year, Congress passed a law, allowing Same-Sex Marriage to be equal.

There are cities in South Dakota threatening to boycott, because the government prohibited Transgenders from using the bathroom of their choice. These are just two examples of why the LGBTQIA Movement is prospering greatly today. Though that is just the beginning, according to many representatives of the organization(Not Enough). LGBTQIA people are discriminated and there has been a prejudice placed upon them. For instance, people believe that if person is Homosexual, then you are a sinner; and if you are Transgender then you disagree with “God’s Will” and a

sinner.
In conclusion, the LGBTQIA Movement and Community is working wonders and is doing great things for the world. In the 21st Century, people have accomplished more rights for this society than any other time in history. Especially since so many people today have gotten involved and standing up for themselves and others. Humans need to realize that helping others in is improving the society around the world. In all honesty, the community has accomplished so much, but there is a lot more to be done.
