social media exposes us to more ideologies and question it. With social media ensuring that they adopt a more inclusive society, lgbt is more visible

1. More common than you'd think. Some are open, some are not. When they are on social media, you'll have to treat them as normal users and talk about the context of what they post or topic of discussion. If you talk hate about their identity instead, you'll have backfire and heat from others. Sometimes, they are protected by rules of the server (ie Discord/Reddit). In terms of influence, others have to be careful not to talk about it, to create a more civil place

2. Some of them in the community will form families of their own. Which can cause backlash or dissporval by some, and protected and care by others. A child growing up with parents who are strongly in the community will learn more about it and maybe shape it their own. Because the parents and environment will shape the child. Some disagree and say that the child doesn't know any better, and let them choose when they are older. Marriage is an issue too. Individuals who are attracted to the same gender may find it difficult to get the person they want, if the person is straight and not in their own community.

3. To be treated normally, and be protected. They want to normalise being accepted into society, and if anyone attacks them, they want to be fairly defended.

they are very visible. they usually state their opinions/speech w a strong stand as they are firm believers and do not want others to belittle them. Through social media, they can be seen as straightforward and aggressive at times when discussing it w another person as they want their voices to be heard. The influence they bring to listeners and viewers really depends on the level of belief of the individual. E.x: Someone who understands that it is haram and is not logical would disagree with what is being said.

Marriage and family institutions will see a new form of tradition coming in, which would likely see a dispute between the communities. For a long time, marriage has always been the understanding of the relationship of a man and a woman. This change might result in future generations seeing decline in birth rate, as well as normalising that of same gender marriage

Equality and acceptance by others

1) Quite visible. There are a lot of such big influencers on platforms like YouTube, Instagram and tiktok. E.g. bretman rock. Social media has facilitated campaigns like #pride month, #loveislove, which helps to promote awareness and confidence. Furthermore, These people often collaborate with brands to promote inclusivity and representation. Hence, this slowly becomes a norm for the modern world.

2) How does it affect marriage and family constitution/structure? It normalizes diverse family structures, such as same-sex couples raising children, polyamorous relationships, and blended families with non-binary or transgender parents.

3) Some rights that they might be demanding for includes pushing for comprehensive laws to protect against discrimination in employment, housing and marriage.

1a) some are very visible and are very vocal about it, to the point if making it their whole personality (very annoying), to the point where basic biology offends them (ive seen some posts/videos of trans women getting offended at doctors saying its impossible for them to get pregnant). others dont make such a big deal out of it (im ok with these people).

1b) i do feel that most of the bad rep these groups get is because the only ones non lgbtq people see are the ones "loud" enough or make enough of a scene to appear on the news or on social media. there are definitely more who are less loud who arent talked about simply because it isnt "news-worthy"

2) less "traditional" marriages? perhaps lower rates of birth? i know there are some ways for lesbian couples to get pregnant via assisted pregnancies but its probably expensive so they wont be able to have as many kids as a normal family. and then gay couples just cant have kids at all biologically because you need an egg to form the embryo.

3) from what i can remember, laws against discriminatory practices (employment, wages, etc.), which fair enough are understandable. but then theres some that (if i remember) want to criminalise misgendering someone and thats just too far.

1.They are incredibly visible and open

2.Due to the current liberal movement in wanting to push acceptance for the lgbtqa, the media has begun to represent them much more than before. It has caused a wave in the way that people perceive them and many has joined the community without prior counsel.

3.They can drastically change the traditional family structure like warping the roles of the husband wife and child.

4.Their goal is to want to achieve acceptance from the broader global community

Especially on social media there is always many post supporting LGBTQ. Many popular artist have also been actively supporting LGBT

-I think it can affect marriage structures as those that get married to the same gender r not able to produce children.

-the LGBT community is always fighting for social rights at work and like the community in general. They want to be treated normally in the society.

Social media promotes and support the lgbt

This is bad because it may influence muslims to take part in it because they think it is normal

# data[].attributes.body
they are quite visible nowadays. they are tryimg to show them as normal

it should not influence anyone that isnt because what reason is there to be influenced?

being looked as normal and not being discriminated

# data[].attributes.body
Social media have made it a celebration ( pride month ) to promote lgbtq which is a very bad influence to Muslim and we should be able to distinguish between what is right and wrong. This could be very dangerous to young muslims as they are easily influenced.

They can influence kids in family and also parents of family to promote lgbtq and this would lead to a disruption in the family

They want to be heard and maybe be treated as normal people. They want to be acknowledged in the community

Equal marriage, Sodomy, the right to put things where they dont belong, and stuff that Islam forbids

# data[].attributes.body
I dont think they will affect marriage between couples that are together right now, however, it might affect their children as nowadays, they are on the internet, so they may be influences by their flamboyance behaviour.

1. very visible. on tiktok we can see that it has became a norm even to muslims.

2. people in relationships would be intrigued to “find out more” about themselves, which may lead to a change in sexuality resulting in downfalls of their marriage. children in families may have unsupportive parents which can lead to family issues.

3. being treated equally/heard (pronouns, etc.)

Very visible. For some reason, the LGBTQ community seems to be the most tech savvy and garner the most online presence. I guess people are more inclined to people who are "unique".
