LGBTQ’s Issues:

Various discriminative events are happening around the world every single day where people are constantly bullied, fired from their jobs, and even physically attacked just because of their sexuality.
Genderqueer people of all ages face quite a hard time coming out to their friends and families. LGBTQ youth is more likely to experience several issues because many older people have already come out. Some people of the community have also recently reported going through Sex reassignment surgery, also known as gender reassignment surgery to become more comfortable with themselves.
Throughout time, emerging trends have also risen throughout counselling as younger groups of LGBT people are dealing with such issues as a resurgence in HIV among homosexual males and evolving identity concerns. Across the same way, similar communities, like transsexuals, find a voice and feature more frequently across a treatment of identity and relationship problems.
Psychologists dealing with LGBTQ clients are concentrating on the need to deal with generational gaps whether they recognize the new approaches of young LGBTQ people to talk about their orientation or evaluating causes for depression in older gay people.
