Abstract

In modern society, people are always seeking equality and reducing differentiation, and the rights of sexual minorities are a part of today's society that cannot be ignored. The rights of sexual minorities are a part of today's society that cannot be ignored. This paper has its own specificity and cannot be simply thought of and addressed in a binary way. The ethical issues of society and public awareness and morality of the general public is not something that can be simply counted and regulated by data. This paper explores how public facilities can protect the physical and psychological needs of sexual minorities without providing them with additional power, while conforming to traditional social norms.
