I feel as though LGBTQ individuals are treated differently in our society because it is still not seen as a normal part of human behavior to express sexual interest in the same sex. This has not only been reinforced by science and psychology over the centuries (it used to be considered a mental illness), but also by many, many religions. It is still under the umbrella as "unnatural" or against the "natural law" of the universe. However, I believe that if any groups of human beings are experiences the same phenomenon, it becomes "natural" I mean, what is "natural" anyway? We can't really define this, because that means that there is some form of a perfect human being. We are all abnormal in some way. It's an issue with society, not human beings. Human beings are conditioned to believe this is unnatural either from religious, societal, or cultural values. If those were not in place from a young age, no one would have any idea about what sexual preference is natural, and which is unnatural. They would simply be, and be attracted to whomever they wish.
