2. Who / what is this article about? Explain (Do NOT just copy the title!)
How people in the LGBTQ+ community feel like Donald Trump’s presidency (the 2nd one), will affect the LGBTQ+
community negatively. (Which it has by the way)

3. When did this story take place? AND Where is this event or issue occurring? Explain.
The story took place in January, which is when the survey that was used as evidence for this article was taken, the
article itself was published a month later in February. These events are occurring in the U.S.

4. Why is this story important? Explain.


This story is important because it shows how Donald Trump has caused a massive concern for people in the
LGBTQ+ community, myself included. Now, you might say I’m being overdramatic or biased, but to be honest, I
personally feel we have good reason to be concerned. For example, LGBTQ+ holidays have already been removed
from the Google calendar, and I know for a fact it's going to get MUCH MUCH worse.

5. What are the main facts or details mentioned in the article? Summarize them in your own words.
The main facts are that in this article, according to the survey, people from the LGBTQ+ community say that not
only do they feel unwelcome by our president, but also by businesses, our government, even by our supreme
court. As well as transgender people facing discrimination in jobs, housing, and even public spaces.

6. How does this event or issue connect to something we have studied in World History? Explain.
This connects to the centuries-long case of discrimination, and not just with people of the LGBTQ+ community, but
also with african americans, asians, native americans, hispanics, etc. It frustrates me that our country, which is
supposed to represent equality, still can be so cruel to minorities, it’s a shame really.

7. What do you think about this news story? Write your opinion here. Explain in a minimum of 4-5 sentences.
(Your opinion may include what you learned from the story, & personal connections/views you have about the news)
In my opinion, this news story is very important for people to know. People need to know the truth of how LGBTQ+
people are being treated and how they feel about it. The survey that was used for this article was very informative
on the opinions of the LGBTQ+ community on not just the two main political parties and our President, but also
our Supreme Court, businesses, and medical organizations as well. It’s important people understand that we aren’t
just people with no opinion, we have something to say, and we’re gonna say it.

8. How does the article present different perspectives on the issue/event? Are there multiple viewpoints shared? Explain.
This article does not share multiple viewpoints, it only shares a singular viewpoint, which is that of the LGBTQ+
community. However, they do give their opinions on multiple topics such as discrimination in jobs, housing, and
public spaces, as well as medical care, trans athletes, etc.

9. What impact might this event/issue have on the future, based on what you learned in the article? Explain your thoughts.
With the impact of the constant growing feeling of oppression on the LGBTQ+ community on the rise, I predict that
there will be an increase in activism, both peaceful and violent, as well as the increase in hate crimes against
LGBTQ+ people.

10. Write down at least TWO questions you have related to the article topic that were not answered by the article.
What would’ve been the statistics on LGBTQ+ students' treatment in schools and by the education system?
