Social Problem
·
· The social problem I chose for the Final Project is discrimination towards LGBTQ+ individuals concerning equal housing, employment, and medical insurance/healthcare. This issue has been around for some time but has only recently been addressed due to the increased visibility of the LGBTQ+ community. Discrimination against LGBTQ+ individuals is an issue that affects all aspects of life, including the ability to access employment, housing, and medical insurance. This problem is still prevalent in many parts of the world, and we must take a proactive stance in addressing it.
