Democratic presidential candidate Obama won the U.S. presidential election to be the 44th President of the United States, and he is the first black President in American history. The election of Obama causing a big stir inside and outside the United States into politics, but also aroused the culture reflection about the status of Black Americans again.

Transracial is an interesting topic and I think it ties in well with the idea that stuck with me from past that race is relative and that it is defined differently by different people. The only thing I have to think about is where do we draw the line? Would someone like Rachel be able to apply for certain colleges and get in because she identifies as black? What about someone who identifies as being Native American can they set up a casino? Can people misuse this system? Is there a problem with this? Do we need to accept how they identify no mafter what the consequences or benefits?

As the AIDS and HIV disease continue to rise in the U.S., the majority of the people affected by this illness is found in Atlanta. Based on studies, bisexual African-American men who are having intercourse with other men are more vulnerable to contracting the deadly disease. According to the Center for Disease Control (CDC), the percentage of gay and bisexual men with HIV remain the same while other demographics are decreasing.

All lives matter and yes that includes Black lives, Hispanic lives, White lives, and the lives of all law enforcement. All lives matter is a better slogan because it does not discriminate or cater to one race. All lives matter is sticking to the subject that all deaths due to violence should be lowered. Black lives matter is nothing more than a chant linking slavery and history to today's society and current issues. When the truth is we do not live in the past. When the Black lives matter movement first started several people responded by rioting in the streets, vandalizing property and burning down buildings. These rioters were associating themselves with the Black Lives Matters Movement and evidence of this is that they were wearing Black Lives Matter t-shirts. Black Lives Matter, often promotes and ends in

Sexual orientation is the part of one’s culture that defines whether one is heterosexual, homosexual, or bisexual. The United States has become more open and accepting of others that are not heterosexual oriented and this, in turn, has caused this identity marker to become a more relevant part of people’s lives. Because homosexuality and bisexuality are just in the beginning stages of being culturally accepted, people who are heterosexual, or straight, are more privileged and accepted. Any person that identifies as homosexual, bisexual, or transgender is part of the marginalized group and has a harder time being culturally accepted and isn’t as privileged.

I have often wondered why they made the rainbow flag as the symbol of gay. The colors of the rainbow come from white, and each one of them look beautiful; however, being gay has not always brought me the light, the innocent feeling of white. The light has, instead, casted the shadow on my heart that I cannot move on until today, even though it has been two years since I was chased away from my dearest parents. I sometimes envy those gay couples who live in New York, or states that have already passed the law that admit same sex marriage; or the crowd that welcome same sex couples walking down the street like heterosexual couples do without contempt. Hong Kong has claimed that it is a cosmopolitan city the whole time, yet living in Hong Kong

Sixty students completed a stereotype and prejudice survey measuring the amount of knowledge they have on identifying a person’s sexual orientation and why it is difficult for them to be open bout there sexual preferences in society. Students were asked background question in relation to age, gender, and college year. When conducting this study a majority of participants where 19 years old. Also most of our respondents were female. The gender that participated the most in the study were females which outnumbered men with women compiling 73.3% of the participants and males making up 26.7% of the study. A majority of respondents were Latino/Hispanic 30 respondents, making up 65% of the survey. The rest of the respondents can be broken

"Sexual orientation has nothing to do with choice. Our findings suggest there may be genes at play and we found evidence for two sets that affect whether a man is gay or straight." (The Australian, Article on Homosexuality.) There is a difference in the X chromosome, given by the article. There is also a change in the 8 chromosome that predicts whether a child will be gay or not.

So in this section we will be looking at a scholarly article about one’s ability to conceal their sexual orientation. The author is trying to see if a regular off the street person can disseminate between a homosexual or heterosexual male or female. The first study included 20 homosexual men, 20 lesbian, 18 heterosexual men and 20 heterosexual women. There ages ranged from 23-29 the women homosexual ages were a little younger, 82% of the participant’s were caucasian other than that there were no significant dissimilarities.

More than 1.5 million people are expected to attend New York's Gay Pride Parade this week. In response to the recent mass shooting at a gay nightclub in Orlando, the NYPD is stepping up security to protect the city's large LGBT community.

Researchers have discovered that humans have been kidding themselves for centuries! The Journal of Personality and Social Psychology recently conducted a study that deems heterosexuality to be nothing more than a well fabricated lie.The study quantified responses of people to different pornographic materials. They found that everyone’s body responded positively to heterosexual and homosexual sex. What does this mean, exactly? Well, it’s quite possible that everything you thought you knew about your own sexuality wasn’t at all factual.

My main inspiration on making this sculpture is based on what’s happening in today's world. There are many boys and girls that want to be the real them without having to hide it or being judge at everyday of their lives. Just for being what they want to be in there life. Being transgender has a lot to deal with the United State history. Transgenders were a big issues back in 1620. Many transgenders were killed or punished by being slaves (Genny Beemyn).They did not had the freedom to be whatever they wanted to be. My view in the next 250 years is that every human being will be loved and cared no matter of who there are they will be accepted . As well have the freedom and right to be themselves. This is important to me because we all are different

According to Child Help, “a report of child abuse is made about every 10 seconds.” It has also been found that parents of the same gender have a higher tendency to abuse their children. (Lamerial McRae). LGBTQ is a term for a community of lesbians, gays, bisexuals, transgenders, and people who question their gender. This dillema of LGBTQ rights has been a hot topic lately because members of this community have been changing laws and trying to change different codes, including bathroom codes.Many people in America do not agree because of personal beliefs or maybe just because of how they were raised. People involved with the LGBTQ community should not have the same rights as other citizens, because it hurts other religions, they tend to be violent, and equal rights has turned into special treatment.

"In twentieth-century Western culture gender and sexuality represent two analytic axes that may productively be imagined as being as distinct from one another as, say, gender and class, or class and race. Distinct that is to say, no more than minimally, but nonetheless usefully" (Epistemology of the Closet, 1990, p. 30).
