TW: Mentions of (and stats of) harassment, abuse, mental health disorders, and violence that affects the LGBTQ+ community. There's also a brief mentions of outing, mental health. --- Click the flag, then choose a color to see one of the 12 reasons I put up here! There's a lot more than 12 reasons, but some are A.) not scratch appropriate B.) I wanted to focus on social aspects, and not biology, and the moment! --- Please remember: ⫸ I am not an expert, this project took about three days of research to make sure I was getting my facts correct. If anything is wrong or misleading, please let me know so I can fix it. ⫸ You do not have to support LGBTQ, but please remember that support is what the community needs. We are real people, who deserve just as much as straight people do. Support the people, and realize that not everyone has to be just like you. ⫸ This project isn't calling out anyone specific, I've just seen a lot of people state that LGBTQ+ is a choice recently. ⫸ Always be respectful. Never claim that someone is just doing something for attention without solid proof, especially online. ⫸ Always enjoy the gae chalk --- Sources: **Please be aware that my sources also contain the stuff mentioned in the TW above** ⫸ https://www.cdc.gov/healthyyouth/disparities/health-considerations-lgbtq-youth.htm ⫸ https://suic[delete]idepreventionlifeline.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/LGBTQ_MentalHealth_OnePager.pdf ⫸ https://www.plannedparenthood.org/learn/sexual-orientation/sexual-orientation/what-causes-sexual-orientation ⫸ https://www.plannedparenthood.org/learn/sexual-orientation/sexual-orientation/what-homophobia ⫸ file:///home/chronos/u-6929957e0128a04b97449911ceeaee7340683291/MyFiles/Downloads/Mental-Health-Facts-for-LGBTQ.pdf ⫸ https://www.time.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/bab62-not-just-words.pdf --- Some definitions: ⫸Cishet: Someone who is cisgender and heterosexual ⫸Cisgender: Someone who's gender correlates with their sex assigned at birth ⫸Heterosexual: Someone who is attracted to those of the opposite gender. ⫸Homosexual: Someone who is attracted to people of the same gender ⫸Ace/Asexual: Someone who has little to no sexual attraction towards others ⫸Aro/Aromantic: People who feel to no romantic feelings towards others ⫸Aro/Ace or Aromantic Asexual: Someone who feels little to no sexual or romantic attraction toward others. --- Music: https://youtu.be/i5ZeXTed5Q8 I'm prolly gonna go listen to the full soundtrack of Dear Evan Hansen for the first time once I post this. --- EDITS 4/12 Changed cisgendered to cisgender in instructions, thanks ! ^^ 4/13 Updated back button and next slide button for mobile users! 7/27 Redid some coding to show a different reason for each square! ---
