The current situdy has treen conducted to highlight the role of parental support is very important

for child development and g;rowth hence the children seek emotional and social help frorn their t.'l,.t ; i

parents. The researcher ha.s collected information from tlhe LGBT males and females to find their

expectations rep;ardirrg support from parents although initial responses of the parents are not

positive as the situatir:n is not acceptable for parents. The data collected in the form of qualitative

research details A.nother irnporlant aspect of the sexual orientation is the conformity to the

religion. The researctLer has concluded that the parents are not supportive towards LGBT children

due to religious obligations that have been set. The research has highlighted the fact that children

want to seek explicirt supporl from the parents hence itheir high expectations towards parental

support. The author has highlighted the role of counselors to play parent at the community level to

resolve the issues that familjes are going through by sitting and speaking on the subject.

The current research is based on the sensitive issue of equality in tlhe sclhool environrnent

as children are more vulnerable by sexua.l orientation. The author has highlight.ed that schools have

an essential role in supporting vulnerable children. Moreover, t.he author has discussed the problems and difticulties that children lace at school when they are in an LrfBT category. The

children have been treated by discriminal.ion; as a result, many issues arise such as low self-esteem,

absenteeism, underachievement and in some instances, the problem can resullt in the form of suicide when children are more affected due to depression. All the above factor are seriously concerning to the child's mental health. lhe researcher has suggestecl the school,s policies need to

be revised to deal with the issue. Fld-hu,' endorsed that the schools can pla.y therir part in helping

and supporting the children who are vulnerable and in need of support. Active and joint support

can be helpful and beneflcial for childrerL who identify as Lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender..

The author has highlighted the need for mental health professional to acldress the issue regarding gender nonconformity of the ILGBT children who are facing the

'ulnerability in the

society' The research has discussed the importance of research in the rr:levant field as a policymaker and government can get help and guideline suppoft from the research-based facts.

The children get a mental health stigma from the mental health profess;ional accorcling to the DSM

hence they face a challenging situation in rthe society that is quite difficult ancl sffesis provoking for

such vulnerable LGBT children. There is a need for mental health pror?ssionals arLd organizations

to help those who are at ris.k and weak due to gender non-conforming issues such as the LGBT

community. Ther author has discussed the importance of the role of mental health prof'essionals to

positive and actively particillate to build a healthy environment of the society for LGBT children.

3. Secretive beharviors

Lee, A. Kanji,, Z. (2017). Queering the health care system: Experiences of the lesbian,

gay, bisexuill, tr:lnsgender community. Can J Dent Hyg, 51(2): 80-89.

The researc:h has disrcussed the factor that the LGBT community is diverse and exists in

the high range but they face stigma and discriminal.ion hence secretive behaviors have been

seen as a re;sult. North ,\merica is striving to make such policies that respect the social and

emotional villue of LC}BT community to remove the health care barriers and provide them the

standard heeLlthcare facilities without a restriction to promote the overall health care system of

the society. The author has highlighted the concern of LGBT community regarding their

existence their bc,dy integrity, emotional suppoft, fre,edom to express, acceptance toward their

unique idenrity, and pow'er. A1l the discussed dimensions are dangerous, and they need the help

of the communily to give LGBT integrity and supporl. The researcher has addressed the

importance of urrderstanding the difference between sex and gender, and that society has a

responsibilil.y to r:hange the discriminating attitude and understand the unique integrity of the

LGBT community. The researchers have further highlighted that the delay in acceptance and

providing the care and integrity to the LGBT community have been a reason of delay in

acceptance anil rights of'LGBT in the society. This concern should be addressed on an ugent

basis to impro're the health care facilities for the community. Moreover, the researchers have

suggested that this is an issue regarding cultural sensitive, so the professionals of the

Running Head: COACHMAN 7

community have to play their part in the solution of the proble:m, so that secret behavior and trends are diminished to ensure health facility for ar.

watson, J' B' (2014). Bisexuality and Family: Narratives of silence, solace, and Strength. Journal of GLBT Families Studies. 10 (l). l0l-123,

The current research is based on the attitudes and behaviors related to rthe families of LGBT who often view the LGBT as a stigma and unacceptance from the societ;,u. 'r[he researcher has highlight the issues and problems flaced by the families of suctL comrLunitl, that provokes an attitude of silence and silence ort the perspective of such issue. The researchers have highlighted the social and societal problems that have been faced by the rsociety. society,s perception toward LGBT communitli is not based on any single arspects there rare specific issues regarding religious boundaries, cultural and societal expectations, and geographical expectations of the society regardinp;the concept of sex and gen,ler. Familiers have an attitude ofacceptance and resistance according to research findings, but they are trying to adjust to the

encountered situation in the form of coping with resilience and empowernlerrt. The article has presented an internal case based on the families who are facing society either in the form of silence or using coping strategies.

4. Social Stability

Rodrigues, D' L. Huic, A. & Lopes, Dr. (2018). Relationship commitm,enr; of portuguese Iesbian and gay individuals. Examining; the role of cohabitation an d pcrceivedl social support. Journal of Social and personal Relationships.

The researchers have discussed the relationships of the LGrlr as they srtrive to make a healthy relationship to get adjusted and gain stability in society. The relatiorslips that are strong and stable has the durability and stability in terms of the sociar and psychotogic'l well-being of

Running Head: COACHMAN

such individuals. The research has resulted in an interesting factor that the longevity of such a

relationship is b,:tter when parents and friends are supporlive of such couples resulting in a

healthier relationship. The support that is offered by the friends is a mediating role among the

community of such inrlividua.ls gays and lesbians. The arl.icle is an excellent effort to describe the

supportive dimerrsion of the I-GBT community.

Stanton, M. C. llo:zas, L, W. Acensio, M. (2013). Citizenship Status Matters: A Social

Factor Influencting; Outness among a Diverse Nationall Sample of LGBT Individuals. The

British Journal of Social Work.

The current research has been designed to descritre citizenship as another social factor for

the LGBT indivjiduak; in society as they must reveal th,:ir current identity, and hence they face

discrimination. l-he author h,as suggested that devising such policies that do not need information

regarding LGBT' would lower the difficulties and stigmatization in the community. The author

has indicated that by applying the realism theory, it has been concluded that social and political

factors are too infiu.ential in term of policies and practices that such societies are facing

discrimination. 'fhr: social expression of the status of ttre LGBT community is essential in the

societies that arr: based on opposing the LGBT practices. It has been further explained that the

outness of the iclentit'y is a healthy practice when societlz and societal norms have the acceptance

toward LGBT status. People who are born American are more under pressure rather than those

who have migrateilto the US as they are considered as the variable to control the demographics.

The change can be brought by stabilizing and devising the citizenship policies.

Discussion

Running Head: COACHMAN 9

The first dimension is Parental reaction ancl support towards LGB'| c:ommunity when they know about their children what their responses are and what type of suppoft LGBT community is receiving from theirparents and social circle as societal and religious obligatic,ns hinders parents to support their LGBT children. Second important domain has highlighted tlie increased child vulnerability of LGBT community as being a victim of the society's d;iscrinrination; the third aspect depends on the secretive behaviors that LGBT community and they adopt towards societies, attitudes in the form of being silent or hiding their identities. Lastly this pa,er has discussed the dimensions that are helpful in the social stability of the LGBT communi:ty as relationships are more stable when the LGBT communit.y gets supporls from parenris and .[rir:ncls. All the factors influence the LGBT parenting success in the context of existing riterature.

Conclusion

LGBT community needs parentzLl support and community support flor.a healthy and long lasting relationship, communities' profer;sional support and revised policies; ciln ensure the health and safety issue of the LGBT community, secretive behaviors are a result of society,s attitude towards LGBT community and their families hence they try to hide their identihz.

History of the problem

Start your brief history of the problem paragraph here. This section is ngt a time machine

and only includes the minimum essential information needed to undlerstancl your paper. Keep the

history of the problem section limited to only the information that iri directly relevant to your

research question. For example, define llerms, the scale of the problem (i.e., use statistics, etc.),

and how the problem emerged from your research. Do not simply nrlrrate a.nc[ give your

opinion-use evidence!

Literature Review

Start with introductory transitiorr leading to main ideas (determined b.y the type of

analysis you conduct). Keep this transition under three sentences. The literature review is heavily

cited so just about every sentence will contain an in-text citation (i.e., evidence), 'fhis section is

not about your opinion at all. Your objer:tive is to reporl only. Remember, all paragraphs require

a heading. Organize this section thematically based upon the type o1'analysis you conducted. In

general, transitional paragraphs include breadth information, wherea.s 6epth i,formation is

located within the thematic subheadings. Guide the reader as your Pradawan lcanner though this

topic as a Jedi! Do rLot simpll,provide information and think, "you figure it out." This is why you

must choose youl'themes carr:fully. Some practical advice fbr writing scientific papers is

appropriate at thirs point. Man,y students become overwhelmed by the large amount of and

diversity in the lir[erature. This is common. In most of youLr previous classes, you were

encouraged to regurgil.ate eve,rything you know on a topic in order to get a good grade, right?

This does not work well when writing a scientific paper. 'fhe key to managing this problem is

threefold. First, you must statt thinking in terms of major themes. For example, suppose you

have a list of terr majo;r ideas that you want to include in one paragraph of your paper. Each is

typically distinctive arLd appear disconnected, correct? Your job is to look at all ten ideas, and

figure out three overall themes to explain and unifu as ma.ny of these as possible-prel'erably the

most important icleas. You must choose, Jedi! Second, y,3u must choose what NOT to include.

This is very diffioulil in practice because you have not bee,n trained to do this. Flowever, if you do

not choose what ltJCtT to include, your paragraph will turn into an incoherent and illegible mass

of random points, $r:, if a feu, of the items do not fit your theme, it is appropriate to avoid that

point in that particular sectiott of your paper (sornetimes it is appropriate in a different

paragraph). Finally, you mus1. discuss each theme in the paragraph in-turn and make sure you

explain and guide thie reader as you use the appropriate evidence. Again, do not simply state a

point and expect the reader [6, guess what you mean. One final note, avoid duplication. Make

your point once and do not repeat the same idea (especialty in different sections of the paper).

The only exception is if you discuss the idea again based on new information or if you choose to

include the idea in the abstract or conclusion.

Discussion

Start your analysis of the literature here. This is the most impgftanrl sr:ctkrn of )rour paper;

do not write it as an afterthought. Typically, you include the same e:xact majpr r;ubheadings you

used in your literature review. This is because if you do not discuss this infor:m3tion, why did

you bother to incorporate it into the literature review section? Use this section specifically to

flush out the solutions to the problem. z\nswer deep questions that demonsfi.ate that you have

seriously considered the literature and the problem. Answer the deep questions and ask new

questions as required. Try to answer your novel questions to the ber;t of your ability. Academic

papers do not discuss common folk-knowledge. Consequently, vague statem,:nts of opinion

mean exactly nothing. Be specific. Thirrk SWOTo IC or PEST. Higher-ordler thirLking is required

because now )zou are the expert! This section is not a summarl/ or r<UL4lglqent of the literature: it

is a critical analvsis! If you experience rlifficulty writing this sectiol, fill out the: ISWOT-IC

handout and use it to help you developyour analysis. The key to a quality analysis is to think

before you write this section. Do not think on your reader's time. I suggest tSat you complete the

SWOT-IC / PEST worksheet to make sure you do not miss this important step. prove to your

instructor that you have considered the problem and the literature and that can do a proper

academic analysis. This section includeri your professional opinion on your topio as a subject

Start youLr conclusion here. Start with a general surxmary of the major idea of your paper

and answer the resezLrch questions you presented in the introduction. Then, clearly state and solve

the problem that ;rotL posed in your introduction. This is a specific and detailed solution. Do not,

for example, sintply state that "people should know more." What exact points should the know?
