The LGBTI+ community has faced discrimination through and through and it's the 21st century that all the taboos and superstitions get questioned. We have defined 'normal' in our terms and despised the people who are slightly different from us, but normal. Some dress differently, some love the same gender, some don't go according to the two genders revised by us but so what? They have all the rights as human beings and deserve equal respect and integrity. 'Love is blind' if I quote it. You should be proud of who you are and what you want. We are so secretive about it that we often don't accept ourselves because people would bully us or we would become the joke of the day. We all are aware of it, but we avoid talking about it.
Scotland becomes the first country to add the history of the LGBTI+ community in its education system. This recommendation was already considered by the Scottish government in November 2018. The students would get to know what it is to respect each other's integrity and equality. There would also be an emphasis on the problems faced by the community, that would help encourage empathy in them for all beings. It would make them aware of the movements that have helped the community get their basic rights. Also, it would help the students to tackle phobias like homophobia, biphobia, and transphobia.
1. As per a survey from British campaign group Stonewall, around 40% of LGBT+ students in Scotland said they hadn't been taught about sexuality issues and just 22% had learned of safe sex in same-sex relationships.
2. A study for TIE found that 9 in 10 LGBTQ Scots faced homophobia in school and 27% said they had attempted suicide after facing bullying.
So, the initiative taken up by the Scottish government would make them feel safe and accepted. They would be able to talk about their sex characters to other people and know more about their bodies. Scotland is way ahead of many countries when it comes to the law protecting the rights of the LGBT+ community.
When are other countries going to accept the normalcy? Doubted.

“Equality means more than passing laws. The struggle is really won in the hearts and minds of the community, where it really counts.” These are the words of an American activist Barbara Gittings who has rightly said on behalf of the LGBTQ population.
