SYNTHESIS PARAGRAPH

Summary of your research with embedded links to evidence from your blog posts that supports your thesis.

People are becoming more and more accepting of the LGBT community.   People have been changing and as new generations come in and get new ideas, people become more accepting and caring.  Most of the time, through every race, gender, age, political affiliation, and anything else, people are becoming more accepting. Kids growing up as an LGBT youth can face harassment, bullies, and have serious mental health issues as a result.  Kids normally don’t understand that not only their fists hurt, but also their words. When someone who is already discriminated against gets more hate from their peers, it can cause mental health disorders that can last a lifetime.  In India, something tricky  is happening, the acceptance of transgender people, but not homosexuals.  Many people have gotten great things from this but many still get discriminated against and the rest of the LGBT community is still unprotected.  Those are some of the ways the LGBT community is affected and  how some people are treated and see others.
