Fighting for Gay Rights In our society we should protect LGBT rights it’s unfair that we treat them differently. We should make more changes about how we treat them they should be allowed to go as they please or shop at places they want to shop at. Without being told they can not go in a certain restaurant because the way they are. People should not discriminate the reason being is you never know what that person been through or why they are like that. And it’s hard for a person to

just messaging, but also fundraising networks, we've certainly seen an increase in youth homelessness in Manitou and neighboring Colorado Springs and I think as you stated there's been an increase youth suicide and just coming from my experience as a gay man I think there's some connections there. There would be a lot of people in the LGBTQ community interested in helping people who are = committed to those sort of issues with first being that LGBTQ youth make up about forty percent of the homeless

a phenomenon that certainly isn’t unique here. Anything that makes people uncomfortable, or anything they dislike, must be a newfound concept. People convince themselves of this simply because they can’t handle change to their status-quo. So, yes, gay people (even lesbians!) have existed since as long as there have been people on the planet, even if you don’t want to accept it. Relationships—specifically romantic

one’s life experience forms one’s sexual orientation as well as biological factors. I have been very sheltered in life and was not expose to a lot of things. For example, I don’t remember seeing gay people as a child. However, I do remember my parents talking about gay people, but whenever I asked what gay meant, my parents refused to answer.

Popular culture or Pop culture in short has never been a multidimensional representation of gender or race but in away it has been able to provide a platform of introduction for that unknown representation that has not been introduced to the masses. Queer culture nowadays seems to be a standard representation in film and television. As a kid growing up, queer representation was almost unheard of in media or so I thought.

The mental health of individuals in the LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgendered) community is something that is a serious problem. For most of the history of the United States and many different parts of the world LGBT people faced much persecution and in some cases even death. This constant fear of discovery and the pressure that one feels on oneself when “in the closet” can lead to major mental distress. Research has shown that people who identify as LGBT are twice as likely to develop lifetime

In America’s society, equality has always been a reoccurring issue. All the way from early slavery and the Holocaust to discrimination toward African Americans, females, and now same-sex marriages. As much as our world focuses on becoming equal, each culture deals with it’s own differences. In Michael Jackson’s song, “Black or White” compared with Macklemore and Ryan Lewis’ song, “Same Love,” they each approach the same topic encompassing equality. Songs from completely two different generations

The Gay and Lesbian Community in the Y Generation As the Y Generation continues to expand its horizons, new trends of tolerance are beginning to shine through. The gay and lesbian community is more readily embraced by today’s generation than by generations in America’s past. More and more people are “coming out” than ever before, which proves that the gay and lesbian community is gaining acceptance and their rights to equality are slowing increasing, but discrimination is still there. Even though

After the Stonewall Riots in 1969, gay Americans began to develop a new collective persona and disco offered them a foundation on which they could build that identity upon. This collective identity was most commonly shared in the discothèques themselves.

The circumstances containing homosexuality have formed a varying timeline. The LGBT community’s rights and responsibilities must match those of society in general. Throughout the last 50 years the rights deserved by those who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender has been debated. Debates have included topics such as same sex marriage, housing security, and job security. The LGBT community needs laws protecting it from hate crimes. There have been multiple incidents LGBT individuals have been
