Lgbt Research Paper

I am very proud to say that I have helped to reintroduce our school's Gay Straight Alliance club. My freshman year our club shut down due to lack of interest and most LGBT students at Evansville High were uncomfortable coming out since there was not a lot of them. By my sophomore year, I thought it would be appreciable to reintroduce this club. I wanted to create a fun safe place where students to join as one. I worked hard finding information so I could relate to all, since we had all types of people. A large challenge at my school, which is awful, is students making fun of other people for simply being different.

Many people have heard of the acronym LGBTQ but do not necessarily understand what it stands for. The acronym LGBTQ represents the community of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and questioning or queer. The group highly unrecognized in the LGBTQ community is “questioning” or “queer”. This group of people are still unsure of their sexual orientation which may cause confusion in weather they can be classified to be in the LGBTQ community. Queer is known for a offensive term that has only recently been used to show pride about being in the LGBTQ community by the younger generation. Although it has been a symbol of pride it still can be considered very offensive. However, we hear of the acronyms LGBTQ their is also another group called “The Alphabet Soup”. This consists of two “A's” which stands for asexual, an individual who do not experience any sexual attraction, and the other “A” stands for allies or people that are straight but support the LGBTQ community.Their is also a "T" and that represents inter sex people or people who were born with anatomy that does not really fit

In the last two decades, homosexuality has increasingly become a topic of conversation. The "unmentionable" is now mentioned casually in many circles, named in the media, and narrated in song and film. Inevitably, despite the Church's stability and resistance as a millennia-old institution, this topic could not help but enter ecclesiastical discussion, as well. And there it shakes the foundations, for it unearths an issue critical to the unmarried, all male clerical caste on which Roman Catholicism rests. Although homosexuality among the clergy has always been known and in the early middle ages even celebrated, since the thirteenth century and until recently, it was less salient and repressed

LGBTQ+ is an acronym for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans, Queer/Questioning, and more referring to the people categorized by not having heteroxexual and cisngender actions or identificantion. As opposed to having a romantic preference to sex, gender identification is what a person chooses to identify as, instead of it being decided by their sex. Currently, countries and law makers are currently blocking the same rights as heterosexual and cisgender people regarding civil, political, social, and economical stand points.

In the article, “Addressing Health Care Disparities in the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender (LGBT) Population,” addresses how LGBT population is discriminated from obtaining proper care from nurses due to the lack of training in nursing schools and the healthcare setting. In the Swedish study, only 10% of nursing students were competent in caring for patient in the LGBT community. This emphasize that nursing schools are not educating their students about proper care for the LGBT population. Introducing experience and including more informed-training regarding care for the LGBT population will lower the stigma that the nurse and nursing student may have or develop against a patient. Allowing nursing students to work closely with a nurse

If a young boy has a feminine throw he may be homosexual. Also if he has a soft or high voice this would be another detection that one would be homosexual. There have been many conclusions and statements as to what causes homosexuality. These are the traits that normally are classed with someone who is homosexual. The popular argument in today’s society is that homosexuality is something that is inborn, genetically linked to an enlarged gland in the brain or due to a particular chromosome. This would prove that it is natural, and that it is luck of the draw whether one is homosexual. There have been many studies done to prove this theory, but due to a lack of evidence it has remained just that, a theory. Homosexuality, contrary to popular

Regardless of the fissiparous way of women's liberation in the order, all women's activist IR researchers are united by a worry with sex: an ideological and socially developed distinction in the middle of men and ladies, instead of the natural contrasts between the genders (Pettman, 2002). Sexual orientation both constitutes and is constituted by disparities in force relations and social structures, and has huge consequences for the individual encounters of men and ladies (Steans, 1998). In their distinctive ways, women's activists intend to clarify the part of sexual orientation in the hypothesis and routine of global relations by finding ladies in universal governmental issues, researching how they are influenced by structures and conduct

Transgender persons often face harsh, sometimes violent, discrimination in society almost everywhere they go. In the workplace, the unemployment rate for transgender people is two times greater than that of the average population (14% to 7%) and Trans people of color’ rate is nearly four times greater (Movement Advancement Project). This leads to poverty rates going up and results in individuals unable to provide for their families simply because of how they identify. Imagine if it were your family out on the street because you were unable to get and/or maintain a job only because society refuses to accept people like you. To ensure this discrimination does not continue, there needs to be an end to Transgender oppression. Back in May of 2016, a 23-year-old transgender activist was shot six times, then was refused treatment and died (Bearak). Attacked by a gang said to target members of the Transgender community, Alesha was rushed to

Queer culture was once relegated to queer communities, and was seen as a distinctive “other” culture separate from that of heterosexuals or cisgendered individuals. Not only was it relatively unexplored part of popular culture, but the representations of queer characters fit into distinct stereotypes early on. However, one of the primary causes for the under representation of transgender characters and over reliance on tropes is the fact that many of the media was produced by cisgender heterosexuals. However, there have been a distinct number of television shows,songs, and that have entered mainstream entertainment that have been created by queer individuals to represent the diversity of queer people.

An impressive controversial issue that we all seem to face is on the topic of homosexuality, whether it is acceptable that the same sex attraction is okay or a violation of what is considered normal in society because what is considered normal is the attraction of ones opposite sex. Now, because being homosexual in not accepted by all, this category of people have been and still are suffering from prejudice as well as discrimination. Homosexuals often organized organizations in hope that one day they would be able to eliminate the social and legal discrimination that was set on them. In the past year “Gay men and lesbians became entangled within a growing postwar anti-communist hysteria when

Same-sex sexual orientation has its significant risk factors. Those factors being hopelessness, depression alcohol abuse, suicide, and victimization. The reading discussed adolescent suicide risk factors and raised the issue on how this may affect their health. An issue this reading raised for me is the importance of understanding these factors while reassuring that one does not discriminate against sexual orientation preferences in the workplace.

When I was in eighth grade my best friend came out to me as transgender. AT the time, I didn’t fully understand the definition of transgender so I was very rude to him by using the wrong pronouns which made him very angry at me. Being transgender means that how you feel and what’s in your pants are completely different. This causes a bunch of people a lot of stress.

The LGBTQ movement and the acceptance of it is slowly gaining support throughout the past few decades. LGBTQ is an acronym for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer/questioning. The meaning of the “Q” often is switched between queer and questioning. The acronym has many different variations such as GLBT, LGBT, LGBTQI, LGBTQIA, and so on. The “I” stands for intersex and the “A” stands for asexual. LGBT, GLBT, and LGBTQ are most often used when referring to the community. “Gay” is often used as an umbrella term for many people who identify under any of the categories within the LGBTQ community. However, “gay” is most commonly known to refer to men who like other men. A lesbian is a woman who likes other women. Bisexual is used to

A. Thesis. With their ideology and their demand for equal rights and personal freedoms, the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transsexual, and queer (LGBTQ) community has played a major part in the rise of identity politics in modern American politics.

The battles that the LGBT community faces every day are something most people aren’t familiar with. For me however it’s a different story. The LGBT community is a community looking for wider acceptance and understanding. Every morning someone who is lesbian, gay, transsexual, or transgender has to wake up and face the daily battles of living this lifestyle. They have to fight for equality and have hope they won’t get shorthanded just because of how they live their life. It’s becoming easier for people to be okay with what they are, but it’s still not fully accepted. It’s a constant battle in the minds of people who don’t feel supported by their loved ones, or they feel like they can’t be who they truly want to be. In reality of the whole situation, we’re all human, rich or poor, straight or part of the LGBT community. So why is there still fear in people? And why can’t we all just let everyone be happy?
