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.)

2) the next generation is affected.

3) they demanding for equality e.g in SG gay/lesbians can’t live tgt in hdbs/btos unless they are 35 and above and private housing is expensive. also some people like those non binary wants neutral toilet…. and they want to be included like rainbow things….

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

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

being looked as normal and not being discriminated

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

-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.

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

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.

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.

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.
