Some online dictionaries say that "discrimination against" means to treat a person worse than you treat others, or to treat them according to what you think their group deserves--in a negative way--rather than according to their merit.
When I was young, I was forced to go on social assistance and I felt very bad about it. But I saw a sign somewhere that said everyone should be treated with human dignity and worth...and I appreciated it very much. I was kind of surprised, actually. And I believe it's true that everyone should be treated with a certain amount of dignity.
People know what harassment and bullying mean. Nobody wants to be treated in that way. It's sad when it happens.
As for the LGBTQs, I'd like to see those Christians who've been somewhat isolated and prejudiced--maybe they were busy with work elsewhere and haven't been exposed to gays--to understand that it's not just about homosexuality versus no homosexuality. It's about stopping the discrimination and harassment, as far as possible. Christians are supposed to be kind and helpful, and I don't believe true Christians would want to interfere in this work. I believe the special police project has been dealing with this kind of a business for some time...and some others are just catching up now. I'm sorry if I wasn't able to help with some discussion earlier.
