Additional findings that I have are that there have been several suicide cases reported among the LGTBQ group. This can be traced to the pressure that is presumed to be taking course against these individuals by the society. It is the reason why many result in drug abuse and other destructive activities. A further look into this issue through formal research could demystify several notions that are held by the public in regard to these issues and what they all imply. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, the society falls under the guilt of discriminating against these individuals; a phenomenon that adds more pressure and averts the reality of ending the matter hence it remains unsettled in silence. Strategies are therefore needed to bring the matter on board and create a central point to define the reality of the society’s demands on the LGBTQ and their particular accusation to the society (Brettschneider, Burgess & Keating, 2017).  Generally, the fight against discrimination can be won through sensitization to schools, institutions, and families.

The emerging needs from the LGBTQ community demand the attention of all the entities of society in order to be addressed. This calls for a firm and responsible stand for every component that makes up the society. The parents have a responsibility to protect, support and offer guidance to their children and any member of their family belonging to this group. This will help them develop social stand at confidence from the most basic level hence have the moral conscience to access the higher societal acceptance. Parents can help children fight the struggles of depression, fear, discrimination, and bias. Schools and organization have the legal role of initiating strategies that help fight against discrimination through advocacy and sensitization exercises. Raising campaigns around this topic may also avert any cases of LGBTQ discrimination. Using verbal stage has often proven to be effective for issues concerning the society. It is a weapon that can be used to evaluate the state of a situation and gauge what needs be done in order to counter any adverse problems. Handling the problem at hand requires radical steps that will involve strategies initiated in the favor of this endeavor. This could include setting international policies that define engagement with the LGBTQ communities, incorporating measures that give them preserved rights against discrimination and effecting universal prosecution for any culprits in action that undermines the rights of the LGBTQ groups (Mayo, 2014).  Strong legislative measures are the solutions to these challenges.
