Cyber Bullying Hits Down Hard on the Gay Community

Cyber bullying is a huge problem by itself, what more the pressure it puts on the gay community. This gay community consists of gay people, lesbian people and those of transgender. The mere mention on anything regarding the subject of the gay community brings about a certain feeling of taboo for our community. Thus, people tend to turn a blind eye when a member of the gay community is a victim of a cyber bully. In fact, people in the community itself tend to become the bulliers. This happens because people of the community find the gay community and the fact of the same gender liking the same gender, weird and abnormal. People are tend to be more scared of what they do not understand, and do not wish to accept it, thus, the gay community becomes an easy pray for cyber bullies.

The Iowa State University conducted a study that finds that the younger generation compiled from the people identified as gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender (LGBT), as well as thier straight allies are hit hard by this form of harrasment, occasionally ending in lethal concequenses. This study also reveals that one out of every two transgender students (LGBT), are a victim of cyber bullying. Furthermore, due to the stealth in this form of bullying, it becomes harder for teachers and parents to detect it.

"In the online survey of 444 junior high, high school and college students between the ages of 11 and 22 -- including 350 self-identified non-heterosexual subjects -- 54 percent of the LGBT and allied youth reported being victims of cyberbullying in the 30 days prior to the survey. Cyberbullying includes attacks such as electronic distribution of humiliating photos, dissemination of false or private information, or targeting victims in cruel online polls."

This survery shows that the gay community becomes an easy target for cyber bullies worldwide, who will taunt them with names such as "queer", "weirdo", "abnormal", and many other mean and degrading names. 

True to the survey, this has become a huge issue, which souldnt be taken lightly. The government should provide more awareness on the existance of the gay community and how they are not abnormal, as it is just a way of living. People should learn to accept the gay community  for who they are, and by doing this, cyber bullies will target less of them.
