Laws in different countries are limiting LGBTQ+ people’s rights. [Lots of bills in the United States of America have been made that restrict LGBTQ+ people’s rights.][Is there a way to combine this sentence with the first one?] These bills change what bathrooms they can use with their id cards. And this isn’t only happening in the United States of America, it is happening in many places. In some countries, it is illegal to identify as LGBTQ+. Some countries even have a death penalty. [For this paragraph, I recommend finding ways to combine sentences so that they are easier to read! There are some moments when you are repeating the same idea (think the first 2 sentences) and it is a bit redundant]
Most of the bills in the United States of America are made by Republican politicians. They affect lots of places such as schools when LGBTQ+ books are banned. Recently, many politicians are trying to ban drag story-tellings and drag shows. Drag shows are a type of entertainment performed by drag artists. Drag storytelling is when a person in drag reads books to children with LGBTQ+ people inside of the book.
On May 17 last year, Canadian politician Justin Trudeau said that human rights are LGBTQ+ rights. Canada is protected from LGBTQ+ Canadians are protected from discrimination by the Canadian Human Rights Act. The law protects Canadians from thirteen types of discrimination, which means that they can’t be denied a job because of who they are.
Lawyer Douglas Elliott, who is gay, says that he didn’t have in his youth the same protections that kids have today. His family and friends weren’t angry, but he faced other threats in his youth. But, he still opened his university’s first gay students club, with his partner and now husband. But just because your human rights are written into law, doesn’t mean you are safe however, many LGBTQ+ students feel their schools aren’t safe.
Last summer, Compton’s youth center received lots of LGBTQ+ threats. They were also threatened by a Twitter account that has been heavily critiqued for its anti-LGBTQ+ posts. This made some of the youths afraid. So, we should speak up when LGBTQ+ people’s rights are being threatened.
