INTRODUCTION

Importance of Law in daily life of (LGBT) people.LGBT is an initialism that

stands for "lesbian, gay, bisexual, and Transgender.In use since the late 1980s, the

initialism, as well as some of its common variants, functions as an umbrella term for

marginalized sexualities and gender identities.The law plays a significant role in the

daily lives of LGBT people, and the ongoing policing of sexuality and gender has a

significant impact on many LGBT people. LGBT people in the United States still do not

have formal equality and are not given many of the protections accorded to other

historically disadvantaged groups,despite significant advances in the field of LGBT civil

rights.These legal restrictions are a constant source of minority stress,and the LGBT

community may develop a high level of "legal consciousness" as a result.

In this study,the researchers are going to determine the importance of

law in daily life of (LGBT) people in Barangay San Antoñio Los Baños Laguna.In this

generation (LGBT) frequently endure bullying,discrimination,a lack of access to LGBT-

related information etc.This bullying may be associated with their sexual orientation

and/or gender identity.Bullying undermines (LGBT) physical and mental health, and the
effects of bullying on health are long-lasting.Bullying is associated with poor mental

health,including symptoms of depression, low self-esteem, and suicidal Ideation.

And also Discrimination against LGBTI people undermines the human

rights principles outlined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Yet

discrimination and violence against people in the LGBTI community are all too

common.Homophobic, biphobic and transphobic attitudes remain deeply embedded in

many cultures around the world.Despite recent advances, people in this country are still

being fired, harassed and targeted at work because they are LGBTQ. If you’ve been

discriminated against because of your sexual orientation,gender identity, or gender

expression (in hiring, firing, promotion,benefits, or work conditions).LGBTQ community

still sufferpernicious and blatant gender bias in all areas of public and private life,

including housing, employment, opportunities in academic settings, in the ability to buy

goods and services, and in the opportunities to participate meaningfully in our society's

decision making processes.

There is a growing number of laws around the country being enacted under

the guise of religious freedom that curtails - even eliminates - the rights of LGBTQ

individuals. Furthermore,homophobia and discomfort with individuals who do not

conform to antiquated stereotypes of sex and gender often manifests into heinous

discrimination against these individuals. Nearly 41% of gay and lesbian adults face

some form of hostility or harassment on the job, including being fired or forced to quit
because of their sexual orientation. Although federal laws protect people from workplace

discrimination on the basis of sex, race, national origin, religion, age, and disability,

there is no federal law that specifically outlaws workplace discrimination on the basis of

sexual orientation by private employers.

However, over the years, there has been more legal support for

finding that Title VII's prohibition against "sex" discrimination also covers sexual

orientation discrimination. The reasoning is that sexual orientation discrimination

necessarily involves gender-based stereotypes of how men and women should behave

and with whom they should be in romantic relationships.

BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

There have been many issues and cases about the acceptance of LGBT

issues in.society,such as hate speech,discrimination,and negative atitudes towards

LGBT

individuals.The negative treatment makes the LGBT hard to express themselves in

society and cause them to experience mental health problems and dificulties in

accepting themselves as they are.The only way to reduce or preventing this scenarios
is to implement many laws to have LGBT community the rights to express more of their

selves.
