When it comes to prostitutes, the only thing that we judge them by is the fact that they engage in sex for their livelihood. They are the people who sell themselves for something as little as a single meal.
In the LGBTQ community, the mention of the words Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual or Transgender evokes a question- Who do they engage in sex with? However, their lives are much deeper than that.
