LGBT Rights For Equal Rights

In this Gays and lesbians deserve equal protection against the hate crimes that happen in the world. Aren't we told as young children and also throughout life to treat others as we would want to be treated? So why are some decimated against based on sexual preference? The statistics show the percentages of the hate discrimination against the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transsexual community. The violence that they are pitted against, due to people's discrimination against them, in life. And I will also mention the discrimination that the LGBT community goes through and what they miss out based on sexual preference.

Types of discrimination has on effect on LGBTQ. People on the daily have negative comments to say to the LGBTQ community. Especially those who are young who are and out or are being

recently years we see heinous things happen to the LGTQ community. Some business discriminate gay

Whether you're a student, athlete, lawyer, celebrity, or even the President of the United States – no one is exempt from discrimination. African Americans were rated second class citizens because of their skin color, just as women weren't allowed to vote or get a job because they were supposed to cook and do housework. The LGBT population faces discrimination that isn’t based on appearance, but by sexual orientation. Unconstitutional acts like the Defense of Marriage Act (1996) and Don't ask Don't Tell Policy (1993-2011) specifically target the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender community, forcing them to either lie about their sexuality or face harassment and prejudice. However, over the course of nearly 100

Generations ago, the United States was a country of the male wardrobe. Today's movements for the rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community are leveraging the existence of more globalized and open systems. Besides, the promotion of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender population have been acknowledged through smart partnerships within conventional, political and economic scene, while the males and heterosexuals are still pervasive.

Throughout history, members of the lesbian, gay, bi-sexual, transgender, and queer community (LGBTQ) have been persecuted because of their sexual orientation. There has been a tremendous struggle for power, within the LGBTQ community. Throughout the years, people have tried to suppress the rights of these individuals, because of their own moral beliefs. Some methods they pursue are more aggressive than others. Certain individuals will stop at nothing to keep this community down, and will even act with ruthless aggression to do so. There are a multitude of cases within the last decade to prove this true. When someone does decide to this, they are considered hate crimes.

In the last few years the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender (LGBT) community have made major strides in a positive direction toward equal rights within the legal system, including the recent Supreme Court decision ruling that same-sex marriages will be recognized in all 50 states. Sixteen of those states and the District of Columbia have full anti-discrimination laws that include protecting gender identity and expression. This leaves roughly 70% of the country’s population living in states without comprehensive anti-discrimination laws (Cobos & Jones, 2009). The work has just begun, as the LGBT population continue to face discrimination regarding education, employment, housing, and healthcare.

The LGBTQ community is always being targeted. The community is targeted in almost every region of the United States. Where we see the most hate as of now is in North Carolina. That state has a strict Anti-LGBTQ bill as we see in the article “North Carolina’s controversial anti LGBTQ bill” explained by Avianne Tan “through North Carolina does have a statewide nondiscrimination law, it does not include specific protections for LGBTQ people” North Carolina is basically breaking their own law just because they do not accept a certain group of people. In another article titled “North Carolina’s terrible Anti LGBT law is even worse than we though” by Nina Martin states, “opponents have called the new law a hostile takeover of human rights” These

MSgt Abbott’s time giving back to her community is a passion of hers. She sees herself as a leader and advocate for those who need help, support, or deserve to be treated fairly. Her community activities include volunteering as a blood drive assistant for the American Red Cross and her role within the Lesbian, Gay, Bi-Sexual, Transsexual (LGBT) community. MSgt Abbott’s presence and intellect, as well as a lot of courage, empowered her to combine the two things she is most passionate about. She is that type of NCO that embodies what an NCO should be at all times and is a courageous advocate of equal rights for the LGBT community. However, her voice was finally able to be herd after the repeal of ‘don’t ask, don’t tell’. This freedom allowed her to play a major role within the LGBT community, as well as represent the LGBT community within the Air

People may know a person who’s lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender or may have at least heard of LGBT community, but many don’t know about the bad side of the things that happens to these people. Many LGBTs experience limitation in their rights as Americans for being true to themselves. In the article, “LGBT Equality & Civil Rights”, it states, “Throughout its history, America has symbolized equality of opportunity for people of all races, origins, religions and creeds, serving as a beacon of hope for anyone seeking a better life. However, despite its founding principles of equality and acceptance, the United States also has a long history of denying basic rights to certain people.” Which is true in the rights of the LGBT community. Although

You’ve seen it on the news, you’ve heard people argue about it, heck, you may even know people who are “it”. It’s no surprise. The LGBTQ+ Community has been getting attention, and not all of it is positive. Let me tell you something; I support them. I think they deserve to live and be in this country. I think they deserve to be treated as human being. Any person of the LGBTQ+ community deserves equal rights because they are human, they have rights to be who they are and your beliefs or religion should not get in the way of those rights.

The LGBT community has made new laws each day to bring equality to all. “Throughout its, America has symbolized equality of opportunity for people of all races, origins, religions and creeds, serving as a beacon of hope for anyone seeking a better life. However, despite its founding principles of equality and acceptance, the United States also has a long history of denying basic rights to certain people” (LGBT Equality). When the US discriminates against a certain thing people retaliate and rise up and try to make new laws to help their cause. The LGBT community has been striving to bring equality in many ways. The LGBT community has made great strides in gaining equality of same-sex marriage, gay adoption, and transgender equality.

LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender) people are discriminated against, terrorized, and protested against. They have barely any laws guarding their rights. All Americans are supposed to have all the rights needed for their pursuit of happiness, yet LGBTQ+ citizens do not. This needs to stop. And the U.S., while still quite far away, is slowly on its way to equity for all of its citizens. But good LGBT Americans are mostly treated unfairly.

Gay Rights has always been a controversial topic. People have fought and argued over this simple human right for years and now we are finally seeing progress. The Gay Rights Movement started on 1924 by Henry Gerber, founder of The Society for Human Rights, the first documented Gay Rights organization according to CNN news. From the start homosexuality was considered a “sociopathic personality disturbance” which was diagnosed by the American Psychiatric Association in April 1952. When homosexuality became a hot topic, President Dwight D. Eisenhower singed an executive order that banned all homosexuals from working for the Federal Government saying” they are a security risk.” Which I can see why it was signed, homosexuals are very sassy and can put you in check which the government wouldn’t like. Fast forward to 2005, the state of California was one of the first states to pass a bill allowing same-sex marriage and on June 26, 2015 the Supreme Court ruled that a state cannot ban same-sex marriage which handed the best victory for gay advocates everywhere in America. Although Gay Rights have come a long way in America there is always room for more improvement such as discrimination on getting a job or adopting just because of your sexual orientation.

Throughout mankind's history, gays and lesbians have become fairly known as another scapegoat to societies venomous opinions about accepting anything new or unfamiliar in order to balance out any negative baggage left behind by previous generations. In order to accept them for who they are, we must not abolish anymore given rights from them due to the misconception that homosexuality could break the mindset through fear and righteousness of Christ; that we must beat them down until eradicated from the planet. Restricting all equal rights to the LGBTQ community could threaten the pillar of society and eventually, the destruction of equal common grounds for everyone. Granting equal based rights and legal marriage rights under the authorized laws, must be expanded far enough to not only the common men and women, but as well for the gays and lesbians too,.
