Introduction

LGBT, an abbreviation for Lesbian, Gay, bisexual, and Transgender is known as a minor sexual
orientation group LGBT can also be used as an umbrella term for referring to a certain gender and sexual
identity topics.At first,this minor group was called homosexual in the 1960s. However, it was replaced
with the term 'gay' because homosexuality only belongs to certain group and is not accurate to
represent all of the queer gender and sexual identity. In the past, LGBT already existed, but people were
very strict to LGBT.

There have been many issues and cases about the acceptance of LGBT issues in society. Such as
hate speech, discrimination, and negative attitudes towards LGBT individuals. The negative treatment
makes the minor individuals hard to express themselves in society and causes them to experience
mental health problems and difficulties in accepting themselves as they are. In the 1920s, The society for
Human Rights was formed by Henry Gerber in Chicago as the first formal organization in the united
states the support gay rights ( Elliot 2015). The Human Rights Campaign (HRC) was created in 1980 by
activist Steve Endean as a political organization to support and promote equality of LGBT individuals and
other LGBT communities.

Background of the study

 LGBT,an abbreviation for Lesbian,Gay, Bisexual,and Transgender,is known as a minor sexual
orientation group.LGBT can also be used as an umbrella term for referring to a certain gender and sexual
identity topic's.At first, This minor group was called homosexual in the 1960s.However,it was replaced
with the term'gay'because homosexuality only belongs to certain group and is not accurate to represent
all of the queer gender and sexual identity.In the past,LGBT already existed,but people were very strict
to LGBT.One example of how strict and harsh people to a homosexual is a sodomy case by kichard
Cornish in 1625.He was reported on charges of sodomizing a male ship case becomes the example of
discrimination towards homosexual in former days.

There have bee many issues and cases about the acceptance of LGBT issues in society,such as
hate speech, discrimination,and negative attitudes towards LGBT individuals.The Human Right Campaign
(HRC) was created in 1980 by activist Steve Endean as a political organization to support and promote
equality of LGBT individuals and other LGBT communities.The philosophy of gay pride assumes that
sexuality not only is but also should be the primary source of identification, community, and self-esteem
(Conrell 2015,24).

CHAPTER 2: REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE

Introduction

This chapter focuses on the review of relevant literature on the effects of discrimination to the
mental health among LGBT Members.The chapter also discusses statistics available on discrimination to
the Mental Health among LGBT Members.

Foreign Literature

William and Mohammad(2009) extended the finding in a view of study published between 2005
and 2007 of the 47 article reviewed nearly three quarters demonstrated a positive association between
racial ethic discrimination and poor mental health discrimination based on a minority sexual orientation
or identify is similarity associated with poor mental health outcomes research has focused on
psychological consequences of discrimination in the form of extreme event 's such as have crimes and
other victimization (Herek et,at 1999) and on daily hassle in the form of heterosexist events ( swim et al
2009). Both ends of this spectrum appear to negatively affect mental health among lesbian,gay, bisexual
groups resulting and post- traumatic stress symptoms ( Herek et al 1999) or increased and anger ( swim
et al 2009).

In their 2009 mays and Cochram used data from the national day middle development of the
United States (MIDUS) to test relationship between experiences of discrimination and Mental Health
indicators among sexual minority adults. When the auths accounted for discriminatory experiences, the
relationship between sexual identity and mental health outcomes deminished suggesting that mental
health disparities across sexual orientation groups can explained. In part by experiences discrimination
on Mental Health.

According to Krieger, discrimination is a society structured and sanctioned phenomenon. Justified

by ideology and expressed in interactions among and between individuals and institution intended to
maintain previleges for members of groups at the cost of deprivation of others (Krieger 2000).

Racism sexism and homophobia are all manifestation and enactments of discrimination that have a
number of deleterious effects. Numerous studies have established a relationship between experiences
of discrimination and negative outcomes, particularly mental health outcomes. Such as mood and
anxiety disorders ( e.g Kessler, Mickelson & Williams 1999: Williams and Mohammad 2009, Yip, Gee &
Takeuchi 2008). For example in a review of 138 studies of self- reported racism and health paradise
(2006) noted that the most relationship was between and poor mental health outcomes.

Klonoff and Colleagues (2000), found that although women exhibited higher mental health
symptomology than Men, when exist event's were encounted for, gender differences largely
disappeared. The autors concluded that sexism plays a role in women's mental health and likely helps to
explain mental health disparities between women and men.

Discrimination based on minority sexual orientation or identity is similarly associated with poor
mental health outcomes (Herek et al).
Local Literature

Schools should be safe places for everyone. But in the Philippines, students who are lesbian, gay,
bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) too often find that their schooling experience is marred by bullying,
discrimination,lack of access of to LGBT, related information, and in some cases , physical or sexual
assault. These abuses can cause deep and lasting harm and artail students, right to education, protected
under Philippines and International law.( Many Pacquiao).

While Verbal bullying appeared to be the most prevalent problem that LGBT students faced,
physical bullying and sexualized harassment were also wrongly common and while students were most
often the culprits, teachers ignored or participated in bullying as well ( Carlos M.).

A new Human Rights Watch report, " Just Let Us Be" , examines how many LGBT students in the
Philippines are excluded or marginalized in schools, where they are often bullied,discriminated against,
and in some cases, physically or sexually assaulted. Many lawmaker's and school administrators have
recognized that bullying of LGBT youth is a serious problem and have designed policies to address the
problem. But their policies, such as outlined under the national Anti-Bullying Law, have not been
adequately enforced. (Patrick)

He has come a long way . Patrick said he knew, even as a young boy in elementary school, that he
was " different". For years, he was bullied in school for being feminine by students and at times even by
teachers.
