I chose this topic for a few reasons. My main reason for picking this topic was how I was able to relate to the topic. I am a part of the LGBTQ+ community, which has shaped me as a person. I have faced discrimination due to my sexuality, and I wanted to learn about LGBTQ+ discrimination. I also chose this topic because there have been more and more stories on the news of laws being passed, and I have become more aware of the hatred towards queer people. I wanted to spread light on an issue that I believe is very important.
