Influence and recognition of LGBT groups in society

Homosexuality has a great impact on individuals, families and society.

同性恋在个人，家庭和社会层面都有着极大的影响。

“First, from the personal level, homosexuals may be questioned by those who don’t know or oppose homosexuals around, thus questioning themselves. With questioning, homosexuals will also be more and more stressed, which is harmful to their physical and mental health.”

 “第一，从个人层面来说，同性恋者可能会受到周围不了解或者反对同性恋者的质疑，从而也对自己产生了质疑。伴随着质疑，同性恋者也会越来越有压力，从而对自己的身心健 康有危害。”

Second, from the perspective of family, people of Chinese parents’ generation (over 40 years old) often have feudal and more traditional ideas. “They attach great importance to family succession, and some families will be deeply influenced by Confucianism or Buddhist culture, which eventually leads to a certain misunderstanding and prejudice against homosexuals among most parents and elders (over 40 years old).” 

第二，从家庭的角度来出发，往往中国父母一辈（40 岁以上）的 人都会有封建和较为传统的思想。“他们很注重传宗接代，并且有些家庭会深受儒家或者佛教文化的思想的影响，最终导致多数的父母长辈（40 岁以上）对同性恋者有一定的误解和偏见。”

Third, from a social perspective, although there are minorities in Chinese society who can tolerate and understand homosexuals, “however, there are still many people who are biased against homosexuals because of the influence of social concepts.” (Xiaohui. (2004). Research on homosexuality Retrieved January 9, 2022)(Swain,Keith W.(2007). Gay Pride Needs New Direction.)( Shankle.Michael 4 D.(2008). The Handbook of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Public Health: A Practitioner’s Guide To Service. )

第三，从社会层面来讲，虽然现在中国社会上有少数群体的人能够包容和理解同性恋者，“但是，仍然有许多人因为社会观念的影响而对同性恋者产生偏见。”
