When many average heterosexual people first learn that a loved one is gay, they just don't understand what it means or how to react. Rather than seeking to understand some may lash out, impose their own closed-minded stereotypes, or just ignore it due to confusion. It is important for parents of gay children to seek understanding after they have first learned the news. Some simple information and a commitment to understand the LGBT community through reading in their own words can immensely help the process.First, "LGBT" is a common catch-all acronym to describe the multiple sexual orientations within the gay community. However, many straight people do not even know what the acronym stands for. Each letter stands for a different segment of the gay community. "L" is for lesbian (gay women), while "G" means gay men in the traditional sense of the word. "B" represents bisexuals, or those who are attracted to members of both the same and opposite sexes. Finally, "T" is for transgender. These are individuals who identify with the opposite of their biological sex. Some transgender individuals will even seek sex change procedures to physically change themselves and better reflect their personal identity.It is also important for people grappling with the news of a gay child or other loved one to realize that while their immediately emotional response is important to sort through, they should also try to understand the emotions and struggles of their gay loved one. One effective way to do this is to read about the experiences of other gay people growing up and coming out. Gay news sites and gay blogs can be a very effective way to build this understanding.There are many gay news sites, ranging from entertainment, gay-oriented consumer shopping, to social sites, and more. The type of news-like sites that might be most useful to read are those that provide young gay people a way to talk through their own coming out experiences. LGBT forums are great place to read and listen.Gay blogs can also provide a very informative resource. With today's ease of publishing online, there are countless blogs from people all over the world discussing their personal journey to accept their own sexual orientation and the experience of sharing their deepest personal trait with those they care about. A simple Google search for gay "coming out" blogs will yield a multitude of deeply felt and superbly written blogs for you to explore.Again, as a heterosexual, you are part of the dominant culture. It will be difficult for you to fully understand the feelings of your gay loved one without prior experience or learning. As you travel down the path of understanding, consider learning about what is important to gay people through their own words and online communities.

The world has become open with accepting same sex marriages and relationships. Some few states and communities might have issues with this but most of them have even legalized them. All gay, lesbian and bisexual people have been receiving a lot of discrimination and abuse and they have been fighting for their rights for a very long time. Finally, they have been heard and people are now treating them just as other human beings because they are humans still.

The lesbian, gay and bisexual people have had to use different platform to air their voice. They have used parades, social events, magazines and even the internet by creating blogs and websites that talk about their communities and what goes around with them.

The good thing with the LGBT news websites offer important information that other straight people or communities can learn more about this community. People can learn what it feels to be a lesbian or gay or bisexual from reading their blogs and seeing how they relate, how they socialize and even what they like or prefer. As you might realize, they are normal human beings but with different sexual preferences than most of other people or from what the society has always tried to instill on people.





The lesbian communities which is a community where women have other women as their sexual partners is a community that has just the same rights as any other person or community. Gay communities and bisexual communities as well should be treated with equal rights as other communities. The people who are against them do not give them a chance in the community based on their own judgments which is incorrect. In some states and countries, a gay, lesbian and even bisexual person can sue, access any public amenities and even have a voice or form an organization within the law. This is why the lesbian gay and bisexual websites are important to educate and inform about homosexuality.

Another use of these websites is that they are used to communicate to other gay and lesbian or bisexual people in the world. These communities are all around the world and to be able to communicate with one another, some have created websites where they announce any upcoming events that touch on them or communicate about anything that relates to them such as laws passed by certain governments or any cases of discrimination and abuse.

The internet is used by many people both the straight and homosexual for different reasons and whichever use the straight communities have of the internet; homosexuals can have the same without any discrimination. It is important for the communities to keep in touch with each other and educate each other on their rights and justice because there are some that do not know their rights.
