CHAPTER 2

REVIEW RELATED LITERATURE

According to the U.S office of disease prevention and health promotion, LGBTQ people face
significant health challenges a result of social stigma, discrimination.

STIGMA, BULLYING AND FAMILY REJECTION

Biases against LGBTQ people from their family, religious community, work and school
affect their mental health and personal safety. LGBTQ people are more likely to be bullied in
school than other students. This has serious health repercussions, as peer victimization is a
leading cause of high risk sexual behaviors in middle and high school students.

Additionally, disclosing one's gender or sexual identity can cause significant interpersonal
challenges at home when parents or guardians fail to accept and support their child. Because of
family rejection LGBTQ people are overrepresented in foster care and are more likely to
become homeless than other their age.

DISCRIMINATION

Discrimination against LGBTQ individuals has been associated with high rates of psychiatric
disorders, substance abuse and suicide. LGBTQ population have the highest rates of drug use,
including the use of tobacco and alcohol. Elderly LGBTQ people face additional barriers to
health, especially because of isolation and a lack of culturally component provides.

One of the things that society does to marginalize certain group of people is to ignore them and
pretend that they are invisible. In the United States, this has happened to Indigenous peoples,
to people of African descent, and the homeless. Today it is happening to people who are
lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, or queer (LGBTQ). It happens in most societies all around
the world, where LGBTQ people are not even spoken about. Most of the time, especially in
schools, the only reference heard to gay people is when one student calls another a "faggot"
Name-calling is bad, but social invisibility and silence can be even more detrimental, because
they have the effect of denying someone's humanity. If some LGBTQ people insist on making
their presence known, the dominant culture reacts with hostility. This persistent discrimination
against the LGBTQ community causes disruption of individuals well being, be faced with
unfortunate adversity, and have negative effect on society as a whole.

Negative attitudes toward LGBTQ students in school put them at an increased risk for violence
and I'll health, as compared to heterosexual students. In 2015, a nationwide study by the
Centers for Disease Control found that LGBTQ students were nearly three times more likely
than straight students to stay home from school due to of safety concerns. 34% reported being
bullied on school property and 10% were threatened or injured with a weapon on school
property. 28% were bullied electronically. The study went on to link exposure to violence to
negative effects on the mental health of these students. "Nearly one-third (29%) of LGBTQ
youth attempted suicide at least once in the prior year compared to 6% of heterosexual youth"
("LGBT Youth | Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual , and Transgender Health | CDC", 2017).

Unfortunately, school is not the first place where LGBTQ youth experience discrimination. For
many, it begins at home, often the instant they speak openly about their sexual orientation.
Coming out can be traumatic, with half of LGBTQ teens experiencing a negative reaction from
parents. Of those, 30% are subjected to physical violence and 26% end up being thrown out of
their homes. In the U.S., approximately 40% of all homeless youth are LGBTQ( Friedman, 2014).
