Frequently Asked Questions

There is no agreement among scientists about the precise reasons for particular sexual orientations, but many studies point to the possible role of genetic, hormonal, developmental, social, and cultural influences on sexual orientation. Many people believe that both nature and nurture play a role in determining who we are attracted to.
Identifying as LGBTQ+ is not a mental disorder. People don’t opt for their sexual orientation, they are born with. No situation, personality trait, or trauma can a person’s sexual orientation.
No. Parenting style or poor parenting has no relation in deciding the sexual orientation of an individual.
Transgender is a broad term for an individual who feels their gender identification or display of their sexual identity does not adhere to society's standards and can be understood as transgenders. Cisgender is the opposite of transgender and describes people whose gender identity corresponds to the gender they were assigned at birth. The term "cisgender" has nothing to do with physiology, gender identity, and expression, or sexual preference.
Intersex is a general term referred to individuals born with, or who develop naturally in puberty, biological sex characteristics which are not typically male or female. That is, a person with an intersex condition is born with sex chromosomes, external genitalia, or an internal reproductive system that is not considered typical for a male or female.
The term has no one monolithic "LGBTIQA+ community”. Everybody has multiple, intersecting identities (e.g., racial/ethnic identity, gender identity, ability status, educational background, income level, faith or religious affiliation, or national origin). There are commonalities of experience among being marginalized on the basis of sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression however to discard the diversity of lived experience on these intersecting identities feels disrespectful and is inaccurate.

Individuals who identify as LGBTQ+ may struggle in school/college/office because they are pressured to dress in a way that corresponds to their sex at birth, or they are afraid of being bullied or teased. People who identify as LGBTQ+ face discrimination on a regular basis, which causes stress. Accessing health and mental health treatments can be difficult due to a lack of qualified care providers and a fear of stigma. Fear of being "outed" and anxiety about their own identity, acceptance, safety, and so on cause significant disturbances as well as mood-related issues.
LGBTQ+ individuals are as much of a threat as anyone else to children.
The sexual orientation of the parent doesn't matter. Everyone can become good parents.
