Lgbtq Should Have Equal Rights

The massive amount of people who believe and support LGBT should have the same human rights and equality say, “it's only fair they receive the same liberty to love who they love.” (Texas, Democratic Party, 1) Throughout the years, same sex marriage supporters have been increasing; “81% of adults under 30 now support marriage equality.”(Texas Democratic Party, 1). People have been making an effort to fight this case even since the beginning of the gay rights movement in the 1960s-1970s. Even before that though, homosexuals have tried to be seen equal, and of course, have an aspiration to be able to obtain the same rights as everyone else, which is to win over the Defense of Marriage Act, which was signed in 1996 by Presidential Clinton to be able to marry the person they love regardless of what their gender

In today’s world, the plight of millions of people are ignored or treated like it is not important just because of personal beliefs. Millions of people are getting abused or attacked for their identities. This is not how the world should work. I understand that being part of the LGBTQ+ community goes against many people’s religions, but that is not in any way an excuse for treating people like garbage. People like to use their personal beliefs as a defense but it just makes you a bad person if your beliefs include oppressing people. Your religion is not nearly important as people’s lives. Either way, even if you don’t believe in it, rights for LGBTQ+ people wouldn’t affect homophobic people at all. Although all the evidence is right there, people refuse to believe it and continue trying to undermine people’s very lives. So, instead of just standing by as people’s lives are being ruined, let’s do something about

The right to marry a person of the same sex or gender is not a right in the same way that freedom of speech or religion and in no way am I implying that it is; marriage itself is a civil

Although equal right for all may seem accomplished, specific group in the United States still feel restriction still present for them. The LGBTQ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer) community feels the restrictions they have against them, while some of the straight community feels they are all treated as equals and that LGBTQ people should not have laws that are directly in their favor. The Institute for Policy Studies is acknowledging the struggles LGBTQ people face in the United States like their right to the basic rights all citizens should possess. The Heritage Foundation claims SOGI (sexual orientation and gender identity) laws threaten other citizen’s freedoms like free speech and religious liberty.

Freedom of religion is allowed to be restricted when it is “necessary to protect public safety, order, health or morals or the fundamental rights and freedoms of others” (Reese). One’s freedom of religion cannot impede on another’s freedom of religion. It is not allowable to force beliefs upon someone because one’s religion say that one must; religion may in no way threaten the public good. If one’s religion believes that hospitals and traditional health care is morally illicit, one may not prevent others from accessing health care, even though one’s religion explicitly bans access to traditional health care. Freedom of religion is allowed up to the point where one’s freedom of religion impedes upon anothers (DH 7).

Do you think fair to say in our society only two type of gender is main? Do you think LGBT should have the same facilities like a man and woman in our society? You might think what is LGBT? LGBT stand for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender. LGBT existed in American society since the 17th century. It has have been a big issue since then. In 1958, in Inc. v. Olesen US supreme court first rules in favor of LGBT. They were not safe and protected in American society, even after the civil war. Since 1865, LGBT has not realized the full protections of the 14th amendment. They were not getting full protections of the 14th amendment because people in our society didn 't want to give them equal rights like others and see them differently. When

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.

“One thing the gay rights movement taught the world is the importance of being visible.” – Charles M. Blow. The LGBT community haves rights to live normally just as much as people who are not in the LGBT community. Most homosexuals are hated and treated differently because of their sexuality. There will never be an understanding of why does some people choose to be homophobic.

LGBT individuals are being discriminated against because of who they are; this undermines the freedom of expression that U.S. citizens are guaranteed. All people in the United States deserve to freely express who they are without

The rights of the LGBTQ people have been highlighted in the United States over the past several years. The LGBTQ community is facing discrimination and a twisted portal of their character throughout the media. A more recent example of discrimination is the HB2 law that our governor Pat McCrory signed into effect in April of this year. This law created an issue that did not even exist in what feels like an attack towards the LGBTQ community. Discrimination to this community has become something that we can no longer afford to ignore. We have normalized discrimination against this group of people by allowing it to invaded our homes, schools, and workplace.

For many decades, the LGBT community has been bashed and mistreated for simply expressing themselves and their same love. Now a bathroom bill that goes against people of the LGBT community who identify themselves as their preferred gender are not to use the bathroom of their preferred gender is in the works. I cannot say that I fully agree with this bill, but I also do not completely disagree with the proposed bill, I guess you can say I am on both sides of it. With my argument, I do not intend to alienate the LGBT community at all, they have my full support on their decisions, but when discussing this bill, there is so much that can go wrong. Which is why I believe that the proposal of the bill should be seen from more than one perspective

Homosexual people do not want to have special privileges. They just want to have the same rights as heterosexuals, nothing more, and nothing less. Homosexuals are a growing minority with nearly a million gays and lesbians identifying themselves as members of same-sex couples in the 2000 census. But the total gay population is much larger, since the census didn’t provide an opportunity for single homosexuals to identify their sexual orientation, and didn’t count gay couples who live apart (Mason 1). There are no legitimate reasons why homosexuals should not have the same rights as heterosexuals. Our country disgraces itself when it “[…] accepts homosexuality as a sufficient cause for deprivation of normal civil rights […]” (Nava, Dawidoff

in the 1900s, gay people weren't allowed to adopt, join the army, serve in public office while

The United Stated of America consists of many different types of people, all who take pride in their freedom. Recently, we had seen the reality of our “freedom,” which some may not really have considered America the land of the free, homosexuals especially. Just like the “normal” citizen in America, homosexuals like the idea of the American dream as well. And most Americans believe in, or enjoy the idea of marriage. People get married all across the country; people of all races, religion, ethnicity, and as of June 26th, 2015, people of the same sex may also enjoy that privilege to be happy as well. Anyone who believes in love shall be able to marry as they please, regardless of their preferences.

There are many rights that a normal everyday person takes for granted. To name a few marriage rights, workforce discrimination, adoption rights, and Assisted Reproductive Techniques. It is everyday things that no one thinks twice about having rights to. Should the LGBT+ community have the same basic human rights as everyone else?
