In recent years in particular, LGBT*IQ lifestyles have become more visible in many areas of life. Celebrities have made their sexual orientation or gender identity public by coming out, and homosexuality and transsexuality are no longer taboo fringe phenomena in films, series and other media. The progressive liberalization of society offers self-advocacy organizations the opportunity to campaign for acceptance and against discrimination, especially in the larger cities.

Despite positive developments, particularly in the areas of equality for same-sex partnerships or the legal recognition of transsexual and intersex people, much remains to be done. There are still negative attitudes towards LGBT*IQ people in the population. This not only affects young people who suffer hostility at school, but also adults in the workplace, in their leisure time and in their families.

While there have been general improvements in society, discrimination and violence against LGBT*IQ people still occur regularly. Acceptance and appreciation of members of sexual and gender minorities does not only mean an improved situation for those affected. An open society without discrimination and violence is an enrichment for everyone.
