Just imagine this: being scared that at any moment you could be fired, evicted, or scared to go to school due to bullying. This petition is for the United States congress to make up a bill allowing equality to everyone. To stop discrimination and to start treating human being like human beings.
Statistics show that 30% of gay couples were treated negatively when trying to rent property. (Americanprogress.org)
Another Statistic shows that 15-43% of LGBT people have faced discrimination in the workplace. 90% for Transgendered people, that have face harassment or discrimination.
Also, many people are being subjected to conversion therapy. All it helps is hurt the victim who are forced into it. Due to homophobia.
The Human Rights Campaign conducted a youth study and reported the following: 42% of LGBT youth live in a hostile environment where they are not accepted. LGBT youth are twice as likely to report physical assaults, attacked with kicks, or someone shoving them at school. 26% say their biggest problems are acceptance by their families, bullying at school, and fear of being open about their sexuality. 20% of other students say their biggest problems are troubles in class with exams or grades. 73% of LGBT youth say they are more honest online than in the real world. 90% of LGBT youth say they are out to their close friends. 63% say they are out at school. 75% say that most of their peers have no problem with them being LGBT 92% of LGBT youth say they hear negative things about themselves at school, on the Internet, or from their peers. 77% say they know things will get better. These statistics shouldn't exist. We are all human beings and we deserve to be treated and treat people as who they are. So, this petition is for them to stand up for their fellow human beings and make a bill to end LGBT Discrimination.
