Ultimately, Geiser hop viewers will be remd that “the basic human need to experience life wh the person you love is the same basic need for both straight and gay people” after viewg his film, which premiered at Reelg: The Chigo LGBTQ Internatnal Film Ftival September. “I feel a huge rponsibily as a filmmaker to prent gay characters who generate a strong, emotnal nnectn wh the dience, ” he said, “and who provi the dience wh an opportuny to abandon prejudic. Acrdg to fdgs om the survey “Discrimatn Ameri: Experienc and Views of LGBTQ Amerins, ” a majory of LGBTQ+ people have at some pot been the target of homophobic slurs and negative ments about their sexualy and genr inty, and most have been threatened or harassed or have experienced vlence at some pot bee of their sexual orientatn or genr inty.

Of those targeted by this vlence, 47 percent intified as gay, 17 percent as lbian, 14 percent as heterosexual, 8 percent as queer, and 8 percent as bisexual. This nonprof anizatn attempts to “uplift, empower, and nnect lbian, gay, bisexual, transgenr, and queer...

The Employment Non-discrimatn Act, a bill that would protect lbian, gay, bisexual, and transgenr people om employment discrimatn, was troduced Congrs every year om 1994 to 2013. Moreover, as support for the bill creased, so too did the claims that the protectns would vlate the relig eedom of those who see homosexualy as a s, rultg the addn of relig-exemptn language versns of the bill. For example, a 2017 survey nducted by the Center for Amerin Progrs, 8 percent of gay, lbian, and bisexual rponnts reported beg nied service by a doctor or health re provir; 7 percent reported that doctors had refed to regnize their fay, such as a child or same-sex partner; 9 percent reported that provirs had ed abive language; and 7 percent experienced unwanted physil ntact by a doctor or health re provir.

For example, the Amerin Psychiatric Associatn removed homosexualy om the list of mental illns documented s Diagnostic and Statistil Manual 1973, and the Amerin Psychologil Associatn has taken a affirmative stance toward LGBTQ+ people sce 1975. ”[16] Neverthels some mental and physil health practners still believe that homosexualy is a disorr, as do some members of the general public.

Om the last few s, toward gay men and lbians have bee progrsively more favorable. Rints see gay men and lbians as servg of equal and fair (egalarian) treatment and are generally opposed to discrimatn employment, tn, and hog. For example, 1976, when Gallup asked rponnts how they felt about protectg “homosexuals” agast employment discrimatn general, only a small majory (56 percent) supported protectns, but when they asked aga 2008, the percentage supportg protectns creased to 89 percent.
