Abstract
It is a widely available statistic that an estimated 10% of the population is comprised of LGBTQ+ people. This means that one in four families have a sexual minority within their immediate circle and almost everyone loves someone who is LGBTQ+ within their extended circle of friends. Despite decades of progress towards universal human rights, the LGBT community still confronts criticism, discrimination, and animosity. Alarmingly, these prejudices and stereotypes are often much more socially acceptable when directed towards sexual minorities than towards many ethnic, racial, and religious minorities. By forming an alliance with those that we love, we can forge a bridge of understanding and support that will strengthen the fabric of our society.
据广泛统计，LGBTQ+人群约占总人口的10%。这意味着，每四个家庭中就有一个家庭的直系亲属中有性少数群体成员，几乎每个人的朋友圈子中都有 LGBTQ+ 成员。尽管几十年来在实现普遍人权方面取得了进展，但 LGBT 群体仍然面临着批评、歧视和敌意。令人震惊的是，与许多少数民族、种族和宗教少数群体相比，这些针对性少数群体的偏见和成见往往更容易为社会所接受。通过与我们所爱的人结成联盟，我们可以架起一座理解和支持的桥梁，从而加强我们的社会结构。
