The LGBTQ+ group faces one of the greatest controversies in
the world. Many countries are yet to accept the LGBTQ+ group, and many
individuals in these countries continue to suffer and remain in the closet with
the fear of being victimized. The LGBTQ+ history dates back to the 1980s when
activists came out to support the rights and recognition of the group. The
group has faced many challenges over the years, including stigmatization
because AIDS was first labelled a gay people disease. Therefore the political
climate greatly influences the view of LGBTQ+ in a country and shapes the
attitude towards their treatment in a country. Therefore, it is important to
ensure that the rights of all individuals are preserved without prejudice.
