Discrimination Based on Sexual Orientation Presentation
Discrimination based on sexual orientation presentation
In my part of this discrimination based on sexual orientation presentation I am going to discuss the following: * What discrimination is? * Direct discrimination. * Indirect discrimination. * Victimisation. * Extent of individual discrimination. * Extent of institutional discrimination.
WHAT IS SEXUAL DISCRIMINATION?
Discrimination occurs when a person is treated less favourably than another person in a similar situation and this treatment cannot be reasonably justified. Discrimination is prejudice toward members of minority or subordinate groups without considering the effects of prejudice and discrimination, discrimination often affects minority groups on the basis of age, race, religion, sex, sexual orientation, etc. If a person or group of people are treated unfairly in areas of public life such as employment, recruitment, customer service and advertising on the basis of their sexual orientation then this is unlawful discrimination. Discriminators don’t always consider the effect of prejudice and discrimination. * Sexual discrimination is also known as ‘homophobia’, this means it covers a wide range of different viewpoints and attitudes Towards lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people. * Homophobia is generally defined as hostility towards and or fears of gay people, however it can also refer to social ideologies which stigmatise homosexuality. * This type of Discrimination begins with Negative feelings or attitudes towards non-heterosexual or (non straight) behaviour, identity, relationships and community, this can lead to homophobic behaviour and attitudes. * This is the root of the discrimination experienced by many lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender or (LGBT) people for short. * Homophobia manifests itself in different forms, for example homophobic jokes, physical and verbal attacks, discrimination in the workplace and negative press coverage.
