Comment on the greater acceptance of lesbians, gay men, bisexuals, and transgender people in current times.

Answers will vary. Australian passports and birth certificates designate male, female, and transgender. In India, the 2011 national census for the first time offered three options: male, female, or a "third sex" that includes LGBT people. Numerous municipal jurisdictions, corporations, and small companies now extend more health care and other benefits to gay employees and their partners than to unmarried heterosexuals who live together. The U.S. Supreme Court and a growing number of states have legalized same-sex marriages, and large numbers of Americans support policies that give lesbians and gays equal rights in the workplace and elsewhere (Von Drehle, 2014). In 2012, the Army promoted the first openly gay female officer to brigadier general. In 2013, the Pentagon added benefits for same-sex partners. Federal workers and Medicare recipients are now eligible for sex-change operations. Since the mid-1990s, many LGBT characters have appeared in leading and supporting roles in popular TV programs.
