Gambling effects on LGBTQ+ People

[Don Pedro Dinero]

So, if we restrict LGBTQ people to online casinos, will it solve their problems? Yes, they won't be facing harassment and all these stuff which they would have faced if they were present in the physical casino, but is it enough?

LGBTQ people have to go out in society, visit markets, shops, hospitals, schools etc and not everything can be made virtual for them.
The society needs to change their perspective toward them and treat them with respect. That is the only way they would feel comfortable in our society.

Where do you live? Of course they should not be restricted to online only. For starters, there are LGTBI people who are not obvious that they are, and those who are obvious in most decent countries have no problem going around expressing themselves without anyone picking on them except in isolated cases. As I said in my previous comment in the thread:

... in fact, I've known people who work in casinos without ever hearing any such stories from them.

When you look different and act different, you do not expect people to treat you any different. It is only normal that people would treat you differently. The reason , at least of the reasons why online casinos exist is to prevent or reduce harassment. I know that we have cyberbullies everywhere but using online casino is still the safest option for LGBTQ if they cannot stand the harassments.

Furthermore, the bodies in charge of land casinos should look into cases of harassment of LGBTQ people, help them get justice and pass a law that any casino where such harassment happens and they do not do anything about it, they will be shut down. This would make them serious in prevent such incident from happening.

We don't expect people to treat us differently but it's instinctive for them to treat us differently. Especially if we show it directly to them, they may immediately stay away from us because humans will instinctively protect themselves if they see something they don't expect. And online casinos make it easy for everyone, including LGBTQ people, to the harassment they can get when they play gambling in physical casinos.

Only the people around them know if someone including LGBTQ is gambling. But I don't think people will know as long as that person doesn't show it to the people around him. They will treat him the same as everyone else. But I don't know. This LGBTQ case has started to become a severe case in several countries because someone is going against their nature by behaving that is not by their gender.

They're just like us with same right to do everything freely without discrimination. Playing in casinos are no different, LGBTQ should be treated like a normal gamblers. The thing is, discrimination is not only happening about the person's gender. There are people who discriminate others for many reasons and this is not limited to LGBTQ+.

Thus, to prevent discrimation, playing in online casino is one of the advantage for people who don't want to be judged by other gamblers. Still enjoyable even you're alone.

Things have changed drastically right now from the past, these discriminations and racism and all other disturbing stuff are way less than before now, but there still are people in some countries or almost in every country and they still do such things like discriminating against someone for their race, gender preferences, their looks, their body, and the list goes on. The thing is, you can never change the whole world, there will always be some evil people out there.

However, I believe most people understand this nowadays that it's someone's personal choice for what they want to do, how they want to look, etc. That's why, even if LGBTQ people go in a physical casino, they wouldn't have to face so much discrimination like the old times.

I think it's something that has always existed, even in other areas of entertainment, I suppose there's still a lack of social openness, but... How a topic like this points out on this board, it's something more from the society board.

On the other hand, one should not discriminate against his opponent for being LGBT, in fact in the world of poker there are several players declared homosexual and they have never had problems, at least of a public nature.

I leave you the name of , it is a good example that if such a thing exists, your talent leads you to win, regardless of your sexual inclinations.

[ChiBitCTy]

lol this is pathetic.  I'm just going to bluntly say this because it needs to be said, if you're a homophobe and treat people differently because their gay, then you're small minded scumbag.  Period. I have no respect for people who can't accept others.  I know there's plenty of people on this forum from backwards ass nations where being gay can mean penalty of death and it just boggles my mind that we are still having to deal with this nonsense. 

Equality for all,black, white, man, woman, gay, straight...who the f cares!  We are all humans, but all of our genetic makeups are different and how people can't understand that I will never understand.

Recently research was held by Dr Reece Bush-Evans who told that online gambling could Hide the sexuality of the LGBTQ+ people and most of these people prefer online gambling as compared to physical gambling for obvious reasons.

The more important concern for the LGBTQ+ people is that they are being treated differently in a casino which may come under harassment. Also, the study says that people at the casino, the staff plus the public have shown discriminatory behavior towards these people.

I'm guessing this sort of issue is the same for every aspect of their lives and is not necessarily restricted to gambling? Some people discriminate against LGBTQ people for no reason, and if anyone can do an activity where they can eliminate the possibility of being bullied, then surely that will often be the easiest option - that's just common sense. It should not be a considered a gambling problem and simply be considered a policing enforcement or education problem. If someone is genuinely discriminated against in a certain environment, the business or the patron should take the appropriate steps to dealing with it - by banning the abuser and/or if it's to an extreme, calling the police who will deal with it legally.

For sure it wouldn't really be just on gambling field but also in other things which LGBT would really be always be having that kind of criticism in the society or community and this is why most of them would definitely be

trying out to hide themselves on the public due to that reason but actually in speaking about gambling then i dont see anything wrong if ever they would really be going into those physical places and would really be tending to play up because there's no such thing for a gender kind of requirement for you to be able to play. It is really just that the people around is really just that too judgmental when it comes to this matter.They arent get used to see those kind of relationships in between same genders and this might be the reason on why they do have that kind of different treatment which i could say that its unfair. Im not really that defending on them but they are just still a human being which they do really have that kind of rights on what they should gonna do.

We are really just that too sensitive when it comes to things and turns out to discriminate on things which arent supposed to be. Well, there's nothing we can do if the community would be having that kind of approach
and if theres those type of people who would really be keen on playing on public places but good now  that we do have other options on playing online.

we can't expect all people to respect one's preference. so it is understandably that these people will prefer online dealings rather than physical one. as you said, not only in gambling but other aspects of their lives. if they are doing online transactions whether shopping, gambling, or any other entertainment, they don't need to worry about people's thoughts about them. i guess, in this age, people are more acceptable with what you are. only some are still traditional, it depends on where you are. so just be mindful of where you are and what you do.

It's easy accepting people whom have different gender preference than everyone else. Idk why it has to result in discrimination if people can just ignore or move along if it isn't their cup of tea. Also, in gambling, if those members of the LGBTQ+ are paying for whatever they are gambling, why would people still bother them if they are doing things normally anyway in that gambling house?

I would never understand people fully. They will always find a reason to hate no matter what.

[Cookdata]

I don't know how much I trust this study. If you are only collecting data from a small sample size you can make a study say whatever you want. Discrimination by casinos against LGBT people doesn't seem like it's a widespread issue. Casinos don't care about your sexual orientation as long as they can take your money.

Online casinos offer many benefits such as privacy and convenience. They singled out LGBT people but this is probably the preferred option for the general population as well.

Casinos would care who they are dealing with, today you are make and then tomorrow, you shave your beards with make up everywhere that you decided to change your character and facial expression, there is going to be a problem when they detect some irregular activity on the account and request the user to provide his documents or do some special verification. Imagine a gambler was registered and verified in a casino as a male with name as Philip only to come back as Cynthia  , damn it! It's going to be a drama because I don't know how you are going to explain that you are she male.

If we are to go by the way females gamble, they are not much in number, only few of them bets and play casino games, I believe a gender change person particularly the one that change from male to female wouldn't love gambling or have man characteristics if they are not pretending to be what they are not, I don't think an LGBT person will be gambling freak except they don't really posses the characters of female and that's like pretending to be changed gender in my opinion.

New Research Explores Effect of Gambling

I don’t think this is still happening today as the existence of LGBTQ+ people has already been accepted by the community. Though there are still some few negative treatments made by other people, but most of them have already been widely accepted as part of a human gender so there’s no reason that they will get the same humiliation like before. If ever harassment is still observed, perhaps the problem is not in them, but those irresponsible gamblers around that are narrow minded and have no sense of acceptance.

widely accepted? Who accepts? is it the same race?
The clans that have storage like that can't get anywhere, it's an aberration that can't be tolerated. Those who enter into gambling are also reluctant to interfere, unless they have the same interest. Gamblers who discriminate are not irresponsible, they just feel disgusted with these people. Gambling is also a gathering place for everyone and is predominantly male. not those with a female soul.

LGBT was accepted one from the most of the country.Only fee people in the society still targeting the LGBT to dominate them in the society.But it's not the correct one,the people of LGBT also had their rights to live in the society.So we should not make them depressed in the society.Instead we give them full freedom in the society,because they also have a right to live their life.In gambling we had give full rights to the LGBT community and many gamblers from this community was enjoying the gaming rights using the gambling sites.In a real life the LGBT not getting equal right.
