The Genre I will present is a Photo Essay because it will be easier to show how LGBTQ people are being discriminated against through pictures. Through imagery, I can have you imagine what is happening behind the scenes and show what is happening in the present. I also feel like it is easier to visualize LGBTQ instead of exampling it with words because it really helps you understand the full understanding of what is going on in the world. It really helps organize what has happened in order from time and place. The publication that I have found āNew research reveals āshockingā rates of anti-LGBTQ discriminationā from Usatoday really stood out to me that people are banding together to help stop LGBTQ discrimination. According to USAToday āMore than 1 in 3 LGBTQ Americans (36%) said they were discriminated against over the past year, and 69% of nonbinary people reported facing discrimination in the same timeframe. Among transgender Americans, the rate was 3 out of 5.ā This quote makes me realize that this discrimination is increasing and how can citizen see the potential threat of the difference between LGBTQ. This makes me wonder if the world will ever know the really meaning of equality for all.
