It's important to note that discussing the "favoritism" of one group over another is a sensitive matter, and determining the overall balance of rights and privileges is a complex issue that requires a comprehensive examination of various factors. However, it's possible to provide statistics that shed light on the progress and challenges faced by LGBTQ+ individuals in specific areas. Here are some examples:
1. Discrimination in Employment:
According to the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission's (EEOC) statistics, the number of discrimination charges based on sexual orientation and gender identity has been steadily increasing. In 2020, there were 1,462 charges of sexual orientation-based discrimination filed compared to 582 in 2009. For gender identity-based discrimination, there were 1,387 charges filed in 2020 compared to 119 in 2009.
2. Hate Crimes:
The Federal Bureau of Investigation's (FBI) hate crime statistics show that bias-motivated incidents based on sexual orientation and gender identity have been consistently reported. In 2019, there were 1,195 incidents categorized as anti-LGBTQ+ hate crimes, accounting for 16.8% of all reported hate crimes.
3. Adoption and Parental Rights:
According to a study published by the Williams Institute at the UCLA School of Law, an estimated 3.4% of LGBTQ+ adults are raising children. However, not all LGBTQ+ individuals have equal rights when it comes to adoption and parental rights due to varying laws across different jurisdictions. Some states and countries still have restrictions or limitations that can hinder LGBTQ+ individuals from adopting or becoming legal parents.
4. Employment and Housing Discrimination:
The Movement Advancement Project, an LGBTQ+ think tank, reports that as of July 2021, only 22 U.S. states prohibit employment discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity. Similarly, 23 states protect individuals from housing discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity. These statistics demonstrate that LGBTQ+ individuals do not uniformly enjoy protections against discrimination in all aspects of life across all jurisdictions.
While these statistics highlight some challenges faced by LGBTQ+ individuals, it's essential to remember that progress toward equality and non-discrimination does not imply a disadvantage for straight individuals. Striving for equal rights and protections for all does not mean disregarding or diminishing the rights of any specific group.
