The Importance Of Discrimination Based On Human Rights

According to the article “Gender Identity Discrimination” (n.d), this occurs in the place of work when a company or its management makes a distinction in opposition to a worker exclusively because of their sexual characteristics or distinctiveness. This can include ceasing employment for a transgender staff member after the company/employer discovers the employee's gender distinctiveness or intended plan for conversion. This can also consist of rejecting a transgender employee’s admittance to the bathroom amenities at work that are accessible to other staff members. This may also include necessitating a transgender individual use the bathroom that is not constant with the person’s gender individuality or appearance. Also included in this form of discrimination is harassment or refusing to investigate claims of persecution by coworkers and management. As well as, any other unconstructive employment exploitation directly related to the employee’s gender presentation. Is should be noted that at right now , this category of discrimination is not illegal under federal law , however, there is governmental endeavors in the works to pass federal laws to make it unequivocally

We, as U.S. citizens, are guaranteed basic equal rights, but do these rights extend to all U.S. citizens? Honestly, they do not. Homosexuals have had their rights have been minimized or depleted since U.S. citizens can remember. It should not matter what ethnicity, sexuality, or religion you have; you deserve equal rights if you are a citizen of the U.S. because you pay the same taxes as everyone else in this country and are guaranteed the same rights under The Bill of Rights. Homosexuals can be charged with the same crime as a heterosexual, and they have the right to a speedy fair trial. However, homosexuals have been suffering injustices for far too long ranging from being banned from joining the military to getting married, and they are not allowed to search for their pursuit of happiness because other U.S. citizens continue to shut this right down. This is unjust because everyone is guaranteed their right to the pursuit of happiness under their basic Human Rights unless you are homosexual, and that is flat out discrimination.

The 2014 executive order prohibited federal hiring practices from discriminating on the basis of gender identity (the policy already barred discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation). It also prohibited contractors that do business with the government

According to Michael Bronski’s, Ann Pellegrini’s and Michael Amico’s book “You Can Tell Just by Looking” federal anti-discrimination laws do not protect trans-gendered people or other LGBT members. Transgendered people can lose their jobs just because of their gender identity in 34 of the 50 states. According to the APA, the National Gay and Lesbian Task force did a study that a vast majority of the 6500 hundred surveyed

According to the Center for American Progress, “studies show that anywhere from 15% to 43% of gay people have experienced some form of discrimination and harassment at the workplace. Moreover, a staggering 90 percent of transgender workers report some form of harassment or mistreatment on the job.” (Burns & Krehely, 2011) This doesn’t just affect the individual, it affects the worker’s productivity and confidence on the job, in some cases it may affect the pay which ultimately throws off the individual’s income for stability within their responsibilities, this can affect the business in a negative way. The list can go on and on of the consequences brought on by employment discrimination. According to USA Today’s Jennifer Calfas, “it is legal to fire someone based on his or her sexual orientation or gender identity. While there is some federal recourse through civil rights and equal employment claims, there's no national anti-discrimination law to protect LGBT workers from state whims. Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits job discrimination based on race, color, sex, religion and nation of origin, but does not extend those protections to LGBT people.” (Calfas, 2015) Luckily, USA Today’s Jennifer Calfas also states that “Twenty-two states and the District of Columbia have laws prohibiting employers from firing employees due to just their sexual orientation or gender

Sexual orientation and gender identity are characteristic of the human personality. Therefore, the right to freely live the sexual orientation or gender identity and express them without fear are human rights in the fullest sense of the word. All people, regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity, should enjoy all the rights described in the Declaration Universal Human Rights. However, this ideology was just recently implemented. In the past, society, politics, and religion were against this and due to several organizations and their actions that impacted this movement. By protecting the weak and by unite citizens who were tired of being judged and treated horribly just because of their sexual orientation, major organizations shaped the development of that fight for

Humans must be protected from discrimination, this is where anyone shouldn’t be treated differently from someone or group of people. For example, if a person had a different skin colour and they weren’t being treated because they were a different skin colour, this Human Right will protect them from discrimination. Carters Green Medical Centre will provide this right for every Human, so every client will be protected from discrimination. My client rights are to be protected from discrimination, this is where the children must not be in an unfair position of one particular person or group of people. For example, if my client’s mother was treating my client differently from one person like the child’s brother, this right will protect them from

The human rights of LGBT people have been repeatedly violated for many years. For millenniums, people have been beaten, imprisoned, and killed for something as trivial as their sexuality. Oscar Wilde is a famous example of this, as he was jailed just for having a male lover. People have been denied lifesaving treatment just because they identify as an LGBT. The HIV/AIDs outbreak of the 1990s is probably the

Because of who they love, how they look, or who they are as a person may be prone to some sort of discrimination against others. The LGBT rights have long been focused on ensuring that t lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people can live openly without discrimination and enjoy equal rights, personal autonomy, and freedom of expression and association. LGBT people deserve the full extent of freedom in and around every part of the world, not just the United States. Several organizations have risen based on the sole purpose of protecting these forms of “minorities” from any possible abuse by advocating the creation of laws and policies protecting people’s dignity and human rights. In today’s society, people of these categories face many forms of abuse including torture, killing and executions, arrests under unjust laws, unequal treatment, censorship, medical abuses, discrimination in health and jobs and housing, and many follow. Although the US may not face this form of exploitation to that extreme, they do still face some sort of inequality. However as a country that is known for fighting a Civil War for minority freedoms in order to end slavery, it makes no sense to begin the discrimination of this modern form of minorities when in reality, we fought for everyone to have equal human rights. This then reveals itself to the theory that history repeats itself.

People around the world face violence and inequality—and sometimes torture, even execution—because of who they love, how they look, or who they are (LGBT Rights). All people should be equal. It should not matter if a person is gay, straight, bisexual, or transgender. We should all have the right to get married and be treated equally. We should all be able to go into any business. Same-sex couples could help with adoptions and fostering children. No one should have to face violence because of their sexuality. Sexuality should not matter under any circumstance.

People may know a person who’s lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender or may have at least heard of LGBT community, but many don’t know about the bad side of the things that happens to these people. Many LGBTs experience limitation in their rights as Americans for being true to themselves. In the article, “LGBT Equality & Civil Rights”, it states, “Throughout its history, America has symbolized equality of opportunity for people of all races, origins, religions and creeds, serving as a beacon of hope for anyone seeking a better life. However, despite its founding principles of equality and acceptance, the United States also has a long history of denying basic rights to certain people.” Which is true in the rights of the LGBT community. Although

We all as humans have a sexual orientation and gender identity. This fact has stated discrimination against members of the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender (LGBT) community, based on sexual orientation and gender identity is a major problem in the United States that affects many people. All people, regardless of their sexual preference or gender identification, should be able to have and enjoy their human rights.

LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender) people are discriminated against, terrorized, and protested against. They have barely any laws guarding their rights. All Americans are supposed to have all the rights needed for their pursuit of happiness, yet LGBTQ+ citizens do not. This needs to stop. And the U.S., while still quite far away, is slowly on its way to equity for all of its citizens. But good LGBT Americans are mostly treated unfairly.

Looking back throughout history at the rights of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender individuals, it isn’t hard to see that we have made the majority of our strides in the past 10 years. As a society we have decided the time is now to put an end to the lack of rights for people of different sexual orientations. Accepting LGBT individuals and providing them the same rights and protections as all other Americans makes us a more united, respectable Country. Everyone deserves equal treatment and opportunities regardless of what their sexual orientation may be.

There are many rights that a normal everyday person takes for granted. To name a few marriage rights, workforce discrimination, adoption rights, and Assisted Reproductive Techniques. It is everyday things that no one thinks twice about having rights to. Should the LGBT+ community have the same basic human rights as everyone else?
