Annotated bibliography
Discrimination against the LGBTQ or the lesbians, gay, bisexual and transgender people is presently on the world stage. Substantial gain has been conducted on the approval of these people. However, there is still increasing bias and discriminatory behavior towards the LGBTQ people. This paper presents an annotated bibliography of five scholarly articles on the discriminatory behavior towards the LGBTQ community.

Evans and his colleagues interviewed twelve college students identified as gay, lesbians, bisexual and transgender on their experiences of discrimination on campus. The researchers performed a thematic analysis to categorize the themes from the information. Three issues were identified namely isolation, discrimination and avoidance. Segregation and discrimination were reported among the interviewed students. These results show the empirical research that creates awareness of discrimination of LGBTQ students. However, the study did not indicate the implications for social work practice among these students.

Not much is known about the processes needed for the transgender and sexual minority communities should do to ensure their wellbeing. Bry conducted a semi-structured interview involving ten transgender females and ten sexual minority males. The researchers analyzed data quantitively gathering information linked to coping strategies of the LGBTQ communities. The results were then discussed regarding the clinical implications of the effects of discrimination on the health and well-being of the LGBTQ communities. This study is relevant to the research as it addressed the coping strategies of the LGBTQ communities to discrimination.

Tucker and the rest sought to explore the attitudes of criminal justice students towards the LGBTQ individuals. Under the study were found majorly in the university. Findings suggested that males experienced the harshest positions. Further analysis indicated that gender of the LGBTQ individuals predicted the homophobic and homophobia attitudes they received. The research reflects the sociological perspective of the discrimination against the LGBTQ people. Therefore, it is relevant to my topic of study.

This study aimed at establishing and validating two gender identity implicit association tests. These tests assess the attitudes of the public towards transsexual women and men. 300 participants were interviewed about their attitudes towards transsexual women and men. The results showed that 90 percent of the participants did not approve of transgender communities. As expected, the certain measure of attitude correlates with the social desirability of the public. These findings offer substantial support for the social perspective on the LGBTQ communities. As such, the study is relevant to our study.
Morrison, M. A., Bishop, C. J., & Morrison, T. G. (2018). A systematic review of the psychometric properties of composite LGBTQ prejudice and discrimination scales. Journal of homosexuality, 1-22.
This study reviewed the psychometric properties, the negative attitude and the combinatory fashion towards the LGBTQ communities. Morrison identified 32 scales. He then evaluated the psychometric properties of these scales. Most of the reviewed scales did not give credible information on the refinement, item development and validity on the attitudes of people towards the LGBTQ communities. Another weakness is that the research did not indicate the behavior of the participants towards the LGBTQ people. Still, the researchers summarized the properties of the reviewed scales and made recommendations for better practices of determining the attitudes of people towards the LGBTQ communities.
