Equality has come a long way from where it was before, but the rights of the LGBTQ community are still thrown to the side and not cared for enough. Some people believe the state of Indiana is just making matters worse with the discriminating and victimizing law that goes by the Religious Freedom Restoration Act as stated in the article “City Rallies Around Its Gay Citizens After a Law Sets Off a Flood of Support.” It is allowing those with religious beliefs to discriminate against gays and lesbians because the law ensures the interests of religious freedoms are protected. Although the law caused backlash it also created an opportunity of unity within the State of Indiana and support from others as well as said President of Indy Pride inc. Chris Morehead “But on the back side of it, we saw support from places we never imagined.'' People gathered from all around the state to help show their support to those who were struggling with the new law. The law created mishaps but it showed the world that you can have unification and equality throughout different people with dissimilar beliefs from one another. Furthermore, the accusations of the law being discerning led to House Speaker Brian Bosma to apologize to those who were hurt by stating “We are sorry that misinterpretation hurt so many people” as said in article “Indiana legislators back religion-law amendment” written by Danielle Paquette. Additionally, he spoke about how Indiana is not a place of discrimination and the law

Many other states have developed laws that protect individuals' religious freedoms, yet Indiana's law has more of a controversial front to its recent legislation. This action is to help court cases to decide whether a business owner was discriminating towards a customer or simply complying with the first amendment. Most have argued that this legislation discriminates towards sexuality; whereas, others believe they would be practicing their religious rights. Government and religion have crossed paths before, but this new bill overpasses a boundary that appeals intolerable. Furthermore, the causes of the new Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA) is causing an uproar due to it's discriminatory presence and the future of this country's well-being
The law was proposed to allow Indiana business owners the right to free exercise of their religion, so “Indiana business [could] cite their religious freedom as a legal defense” in instances that might seem discriminatory to individuals (Payne 1). However, many critics saw this act as a way for business to discriminate specifically against the LGBT community (Payne 1). Sport organizations like the NCAA and NBA as well as popular musicians were quick to voice the intolerance and discrimination they believed the RFRA allowed, and assured the public that “inclusiveness” was an important value for them (Payne 1). Senator Ted Cruz, as well as presidential candidates Marco Rubio have offered their support to Mike Pence’s law (Payne
The United States has become the nation it is today due to several disputes on equality. These disputes have led to the creation of many documents that represent the equality and rights that should be given to every American. An example of two U.S seminal documents are the Economic Bill of Rights and the Brown vs. the Board of Education; these documents not only represent the fights on equality, but both authors use literary devices in order to persuade the reader that their argument is valid.
Mississippi lawmakers on Tuesday called for the repeal of a controversial new law that allows businesses to refuse service to gay people based on religious objection. Ellen DeGeneres called it "the definition of discrimination," while singer Bryan Adams canceled his upcoming show in the state to show his opposition to the law.” (Reilly, 2016). Misguided people are being driven by the nose by tricky "Christian" pioneers and legislators who have a personal stake in the matter of ensuring that their assemblies and their constituents remain profoundly and honestly perplexed of the myth of the "gay person plan." Know this: If the LGBTQ people group has any sort of motivation of all, it is achieving the same essential human rights that other people appreciates. That is all. That is the plan. Try not to fall for some other clarification of it. Gay people are not after your children. They are not attempting to change over you or change you. They are not worried with being comprehended as much as they are worried with being dealt with like some other person has the privilege to be dealt with. On the off chance that you trust that any gathering
Another legislator added a clause to Glick’s proposal that would classify attacks against law enforcement as a hate crime as added incentive to garner support for passage. However, the bill failed to pass and when re-introduced again this year due was killed due to pressure from Focus on the Family, Alliance Defending Freedom and the Family Research Council. All three are powerful, well-funded organizations that oppose any rights or protections for sexual orientation or gender identity for “religious” reasons. It is troubling that the Congress within Indiana didn’t even vote after the policy passed through the Senate. The organizations lobbying against Glick’s hate crime bill believe that these laws infringe on Christians, promote the “homosexual agenda”, and that the laws could eventually be used to prosecute people who oppose homosexual or transgender activism.

Equality is an ideological foundation much activist hope to reach with the bill HR 3923. Since immigrants have no identification of their presence being registered to be legal in the United States, those in charge of them may see them as outsiders and/or less than them, therefore leading them to believe they are not their equals. The detention facilities are supposed to provide the detainees with proper medical care, nourishment, beds, and legal help, however, many facilities don’t do so because of the financial costs. An example of inequality would be the facilities not providing humane medical care in emergencies. According to a research done by Seattle University Law School there was an event in which 300 detainees had to endure being ill
Why Equality Must Die Short Essay Seeing yourself as better than another person has always been frowned upon, at least in the United States. But if you were to really think about it, is it really such a bad thing? When people who are well known throughout the world say, “I’m a human being, just like you.” do they really mean it?
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).

The LGBT community has made great strides in gaining equality of same-sex marriage, gay adoption, and transgender equality.
one of the most important and complicated dilemmas of human philosophy: how do we choose
Throughout the last century, women have had to fight to have the same opportunities as men. Women have had to earn the right to vote, the right to have a career, and the right to autonomy. However, these are all rights that men have simply been given, which is why today’s feminists work to promote equality. Despite these efforts, feminism is often misunderstood and is interpreted with a negative connotation. According to a study conducted by Precopio and Ramsey (2017), “feminism is commonly recognized as a movement driven to grant social, political, and economic equality to both women and men.” The participation of others besides women is crucial to the spread of equality among the genders. Furthermore, the stigma and negative feelings surrounding feminism must be reduced in order for the ideals of feminism to have a greater impact.
Equity vs Equality. Over the years, multiple distinguished authors, politicians, teachers, and philosophers have weighed with their opinion. Equality is ultimate state of being equal in all things, including opportunists, states, and rights. Equity, on the other hand, describes being fair and impartial in all situations. Words that are so similar yet, completely different. Equity is being fair, and being fair doesn't always mean being completely equal to everybody. Equality, sounds good however as time has shown equality is only beneficial if everyone has the same advantages and all benefit equally from the system . What happens when everyone does not have the same inborn advantages? We begin to have unfair disadvantages aimed at marginalized people. Equity is the path that as a society, we must take in order to improve.
Justice and equality are both two very abstract concepts with numerous controversial definitions that are never agreed upon. Depending on the situations, justice can be the same as equality, or not. In the modern world, justice is often used as a political slogan, rather than a meaningful pursuit. Meanwhile equality is also one of the leading ideals of political movements, such as equal rights movements for marriage, voting, etc. In order to answer the question: is justice the same as equality, it is necessary to understand the precise meaning of equality and justice, the relationship between the two, the measurement of the two, and their current and historical status.
This piece tries to raise concerns about Indiana’s wellbeing and shortcomings that all relate back to one law, the Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA), which gives businesses the right to exercise their religious beliefs when running their operations. Unsupported evidence is one of the major setbacks in this mission of The Board. It begins when The Board said, “But RFRA backfired” (par. 4) (“It’s time to expand Indiana’s civil rights law”). There is no solid evidence of this assertion throughout the remainder of the editorial with only one weak sentence to follow that statement which says, “Despite attempts to ‘fix’ it, Indiana continues to pay for it through lost economic investment and a tarnished public image” (“It’s time to expand
