There are sources from NBC News saying, "The majority of LGBTQ Americans say they have experienced some form of harassment or discrimination due to their sexual orientation or gender identity. In addition to individual slights and aggressions, the report noted that large portions of LGBTQ people confront institutional discrimination. At least one in five of those surveyed said they had been discriminated against in the process of applying for a job (20 percent), being paid equally or considered for a promotion (22 percent), or buying or renting a home (22 percent), the survey found. In terms of education, among those in the LGBTQ community who applied for or attended college, 20 percent said they had experienced discrimination because of their gender identity or sexual orientation while applying for or while at college." If we try to get people to stop harassing the LGBTQ community, they would feel safer because now they know they are very safe from the people who harassed them.

There is something from NBC News about a trans woman who was fired from Chick-fil-A. A lawsuit for sexual harassment and discrimination said, "A woman who worked at a Chick-fil-A in Decatur, Georgia, has filed a federal lawsuit claiming she was wrongfully fired after being harassed for four months by her co-workers for being transgender. The suit was filed in U.S. District Court for Northern Georgia in late June by Erin Taylor, 29, who told NBC News she transitioned about three years ago. She is referred to in court documents by her legal name, which is different from the name she uses. The lawsuit accuses her former employer of condoning a workplace that included "sexual harassment," "discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation" and "retaliation." Employers in the U.S. are barred from discriminating against LGBTQ employees on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity following the 2020 landmark Supreme Court case Bostock v. Clayton County. Taylor started working at the fast-food restaurant in late August 2021 to train as director of operations and soon after was verbally harassed by a co-worker who made "sexual passes" at her and made "very vulgar comments" about her, she told NBC News."I was excited, and unfortunately that excitement changed quickly, starting with my first day," she said. Taylor reported the incident to her supervisor, and after several complaints were directed to the franchise owner of the Chick-fil-A location, according to the lawsuit.  "The Franchise Owner responded by saying that it should be an honor that with (Taylor) being a transgender woman that someone liked her enough to hit on her," the suit says. The owner of the location, mentioned in the suit as Joe Engert, did not return NBC News’ requests for comment Tuesday. Chick-fil-A did not return NBC News’ request for comment either. Taylor said that after her co-workers learned she was transgender, the "countenance of the entire restaurant changed." The lawsuit says co-workers started purposely misgendering Taylor, and the co-worker who had initially made advances toward her started making violent and transphobic threats." (It's from NBC News). 

In summary, the people who harass these people who are in the LGBTQ community should tell them sorry and get arrested and never ever get out because we don't want anyone from that community to get TW: getting sexually assaulted,  threats, maybe getting killed, etc. Please Signed This Petition so we can help them!!

Thank you!
