FIMUN 2015 Chair Report Committee: GA3 SOCHUM Committee Directors: Mertcan Yıldız, Celalcan Gezer Issue: Protecting and Promoting the Right's of LGBT People Introduction Minority groups have always experienced discrimination throughout the ages. People with different gender preferences have always been a minority and have always gone under the heaviest kind of discrimination by mostly close-minded people. Though there are no recordings of people with different gender preferences; in middle ages those people have gone through killings, mass murders and heavy social discrimination. Until the mid-and-late 19th century, those people with different gender preferences have chose to live in the shadows and kept their preferences as a deep secret to avoid the discirimination against themselves. Definition and Keywords LGBT is an initialism that stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender. The term is in use since late 1980's. The initialism has become mainstream as a self-designation and has been adopted by the majority of sexuality and gender identity-based community centers and media in the United States and some other English-speaking countries. It is also used in some other countries in whose languages the initialism is meaningful, such as France and Argentina. The initialism LGBT is intended to emphasize a diversity of sexuality and gender identity-based cultures and is sometimes used to refer to anyone who is non-heterosexual or non-cisgender instead of exclusively to people who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender. To recognize this inclusion, a popular variant adds the letter Q for those who identify as queer or are questioning their sexual identity as LGBTQ, recorded since 1996. Background Information Homophobia encompasses a range of negative attitudes and feelings toward homosexuality or people who are identified or perceived as being lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender (LGBT).It can be expressed as antipathy, contempt, prejudice, aversion, or hatred, may be based on irrational fear, and is sometimes related to religious beliefs. Homophobia is observable in critical and hostile behavior such as discrimination and violence on the basis of sexual orientations that are non-heterosexual. According to the 2010 Hate Crimes Statistics released by the FBI National Press Office, 19.3 percent of hate crimes across the United States "were motivated by a sexual orientation bias." Moreover, in a Southern Poverty Law Center 2010 Intelligence Report extrapolating data from fourteen years (1995–2008), which had complete data available at the time, of the FBI's national hate crime statistics found that LGBT people were "far more likely than any other minority group in the United States to be victimized by violent hate crime." Forms of homophobia toward identifiable LGBT social groups have similar yet specific names: biphobia – towards bisexuality and bisexual people, and transphobia, which targets transsexualism, transsexual and transgender people, and gender variance or gender role nonconformity. Even though the general religious point of view LGBT relationships and marriage is mostly ''not accepted'', different cults and sects have different points of view on LGBT relationships such as; the general Islamic point of view on same sex marriage is ''strictly forbidden'', but most of the churches in United States of America accepts it.
