- Abstract
The LGBTQ community is different from most others. Sometimes they encounter situations, often unfriendly ones, that are unusual to the majority of people. In the past, the LGBTQ community was often not understood, so they suffered more from prejudice, stereotypes, and stigma than the others. But gradually, people become aware of the right of this community and began to understand it, and the community starts to be seen. When most people who are prejudiced against the LGBTQ community verbally and physically assault sexual minorities, they are often ostracized by very many people because people do not want the LGBTQ community to be treated unfairly. Thus, new discrimination arises-micro aggressions. They hide the fact that they don't like the LGBTQ community and pretend to be friendly to the LGBTQ community. But their thoughts do not match their actions, so there are times when their unintentional behaviors reveal their unfriendliness, and this can make the LGBTQ members feel even worse.
