Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity
In the United States, a bill protecting the rights of LGBTQ individuals was passed into law by the congress thus creating a path away from their exploitations and discriminations. However, LGBTQ rights are shunned down as they are exposed to torture, arrest under unjust laws, medical abuses, discrimination and many more. According to Dwoskin, Squire, Patullo, and DiClemente (2017), LGBTQ individuals might be either discriminated against business opportunities or education. Majorly, in both institutions respectively, upon identification of one’s sexual orientation, an LGBTQ might face rejection of the opportunities such as loss of a business tender or a fail in the scholarship application.
In one’s own opinion, the word “inclusive” in reference to sexual orientation and gender identity should literary mean advocating extreme laws and policies that shield every individual’s dignity in the essence of enjoyment of their rights fully. Disclosure has been politicized to motivate the LGBTQ members to eliminate stigma and uplift their self-esteem (Budge, Orovecz, Owen, & Sherry, 2018). However, not only disclosure builds possibilities of discrimination, for example, poor support from employers and co-worker but also renders high unemployment rates to such members. This accrues from speeding up absenteeism, low shunned motivation and less business entrepreneur exhibited by those individuals.

Notably, human service professional should have an understanding of sexual orientations and other related concepts as an aid of understanding oneself and the community surrounding (might be clients). This will render an effective administration of services based on prior knowledge of one’s sexual authority (Blondeel et al., 2018). He or she will be able to suppress the negative thoughts that may lead to discriminations or torture in respect to the line of duty. This aids in fattening the relationship between the counselor and client through an elaborate understanding of the culture cocooning the clients and renders commitment to getting more involved by advocating on their atrocities on their behalf.
