The Lesbian, Gay, And Bisexual People Coming Out

Sexual orientation is a topic that is very debatable and contains a lot of information. The information I have learned since beginning this research paper has been memorable and has taught me alot. The sociology of sexual orientation teaches us a lot without us being aware about it. Looking at someone else’s puzzle piece and incorporating it into one’s own life is the mission of sociology. Dealing with sexual orientation, it teaches us not to discriminate against someone because they are different than what we are accustomed to and learn to accept others who are different. If you look at it from a broader perspective everyone, is different to someone else and once the world understands this, it will be a much more safer and positive place to

The LGBT community has been silently suffering through generations. But in this generation, they are finally showing the world their voice. There have been many instances where young adults were denied their right to be who they are and now they are speaking out about the mistreatment. Even though the united states have begun to be more open about the LGBT community here is still more change it come. These changes can be explained through many sociological perspectives including: functionalist, conflict, symbolic interactionism and interactionism. Along with these perspective religion, norms and deviance all impact these individuals who are striving to be open about who they really are inside and out.

Ethical concerns, such as making sure to get parental consent of the minor participants and making sure students were aware of voluntary participation, were addressed and helped to meet ethical guidelines as outlined in ACA (2014) ethical standards. The researchers addressed a cultural strategy by including a question about students’ sexual orientation instead of just their gender identification (Hinduja & Patchin, 2013). This could help the gay, lesbian, bisexual, or questioning students feel that they are being heard because they are represented in the data. Also, the researchers wanted to obtain a sample representative of the diverse population and utilized random sampling and a large

In America, there are many voices that are being heard, but there are voices that are being louder than others. There are many ways that a culture can have themselves be heard and create the change that they are yearning to have. The United States of America has a whole variety of communities, which can impact the world. There are two specific co-cultures, teenagers and LGBTQ, that are stepping up to create the change that is needed in this country, to accept that is it okay to be different. The LGBTQ culture are the most accepting but misunderstood co-culture in America. Explaining specific characteristics of the gay community, like identifying prominent values, symbols and cultural norms, and comparing and contrasting the communicative behaviors of the gay culture with the teenager culture of today’s society will show how it has impacted their communication style, because everyone has the right to be who they are and not be afraid to express it, which is why being a teen or being a part of the LGBTQ culture shows a perspective that

This paper will continue on, researching the societal change/acceptance in the gay and lesbian community as no longer being unorthodox and with the stigma coming from the gay community itself.

LGBT is an initialism that stands for lesbian, gay, bi-sexual, and transgender. It is intended to highlight a diversity of sexuality and gender identity-based cultures. Historically, LGBT people have had to deal with being brutalised and misunderstood because of the misconception that being gay is different and deserves different treatment. However, there are efforts being made daily by the community in order to educate people and ease their fears. The purpose of the following analysis is to deconstruct how people who fought back while growing up realizing they are apart of community help shaped and/or will shape them to become strong roles for LGBT people around the world.

For my immersion paper I would like to write about the Latino LGBT community. This would be a great opportunity to immerse myself in a group that has had a history of oppression and recently has been involved in major civil movement towards equality. As I have previously mentioned in class, my 18-year-old brother is gay and has had a difficult time finding comfort in his environment. It was as if he had to go through a period of re-socialization to adapt a to a new role as a gay man. Being raised in a culture that shames homosexuality has strained my brother’s relationship with our nuclear family and his community as a whole. I would like to see how the Latino American LGBT community deals with the dichotomy between their culture/ethnicity

The first three sets of theory incorporated the levels, shifting levels of identities shaped by outside agencies for LGBT youth. Another social factor that impending on young sexual minorities are the threats of poverty. These threats cause LGBT youth to experience vulnerability and detriment to their identities. Corliss et al. research validates that statement. In their article, “High Burden of Homelessness Among Sexual-Minority Adolescents: Findings From a Representative, Massachusetts High School, Sample,” they review the prevalence of homelessness in LGBT and heterosexual adolescents (Corliss et al. 1683). Their findings include: 40% LGBT student in the Massachusetts

The Lesbian, Gay, Bi, and Transgendered (LGBT) youth population is one of the most vulnerable groups in our community. Being gay does not lead to risky behaviors or bad decision making, rather, societal stigma and discrimination can lead LGBT youth to seek emotional outlets. Today’s society has improved immensely towards the LGBT community, although it has not always been this way. Society can affect a person in shocking ways, influencing one’s unhealthy and unsafe physical and mental behaviors. This current vulnerable population deserves a voice and the simplicity of someone listening to them in order for both sides, accepting and non-accepting, to find a common ground and settle the violence.

My chosen topic is “How kids react to the LGBTQ+ community.”. I chose this topic because I wanted to find where the source of the abuse to gay individuals come from. Many kids find hatred towards the community because of the views of their parents on Religion. This is because, in the bible God flooded a city of gay people to banish them and it was Adam and Eve God created not Adam and another man. Previously, people hated homosexuals because they were different and others didn’t understand how they could be different to other people. However, some kids are gay and their families are religious which means that they hide who they are. This means that they hate other homosexuals who are open with their sexuality which then builds up this hatred and anger for others.

It is shocking of how there is such a lack of understanding about LGBT youth. There are some professionals who don’t understand the difference between lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (Majd, Marksamer & Reyes, 2009). Lesbian is a female with interest in

In Julie Maroh’s book Blue is the Warmest Color, the author illustrates the life and reality of a young teen, Clementine, who is starting to notice her feelings for women, as a lesbian, and also coming out. Coming out is a process which begins when we first admit to ourselves that we are lesbian.  By either acting on your true feelings or living the rest of your life a lie depends on when you admit to yourself. In this research paper I will be focusing on lesbian stereotypes, family views and how people are treated once they come out. Even in todays world, most women who are lesbian, choose to hide their sexuality behind dating or marrying a man. As well as hiding their sexuality from family and friends.

-Working with Mary, I feel that one barrier that she is facing in regards to her expressing/accepting her sexual orientation and gender identity is fear of being rejected and shamed by her family. Evidence suggests that for LGBTQ young adults, a heightened level of

Nevertheless, people consider and access the same issue in diverse ways because of their dissimilar background, experience, and so on. The data indicates that not everyone has the same capacity to shape and represent an identity. Fraser (1999) argues that some people have more resource to be recognized than others (expand, recognition). In fact, recognition can be seen as a central to people’s identification (McNay, 2008). For example, for those who come from an open-minded family, their identity as gay could not be recognized as a big deal. Thus, coming out is not a social stigma at all.

Sexual orientation is something that people hear about daily in the news, media, and daily lives of others, especially when it comes to the field of psychology and the nature versus nurture debate. For being as commonly debated and discussed as it is, there are many questions that come along with it: what is sexual orientation, how do people know their sexual orientation, what causes homosexuality, is it normal, is it possible to change, and can wanting LGBT, lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender, youth to change lead to suicide?
