The Pros And Cons Of Gay And Lesbians

We are socialized to assumed heterosexuality is normal because it is all around us. Most of us are born into a heterosexual, mom and dad relationship. As we grow up looking up to them it becomes normal to see heterosexuality. Throughout my upbringing, my parents did not talk about homosexuality much. All of my family members throughout at least the first two generations identify as straight, so it was not something I grew up being around. Therefore it was never talked about in a positive or negative way. In biology class and church we are taught that we are on this earth to reproduce and contribute to the renewal of civilization. To do this the ‘normal’ way you would get married and heterosexually reproduce. It is taught that the only natural way to have sex is inserting a penis into a vagina. Institutions reinforce this by continuing to teach children throughout their education that man and woman are the normal thing. This belief came from the fact that a female egg cannot turn into a fetus unless it is fertilized by a male sperm. The cycle of heterosexual socialization promotes heterosexism because it is promoted as the ‘right’ thing to do throughout all forms of media and teachings. When all you see as a positive thing growing up is heterosexual, married couples with biological kids you are conformed to think that is the only way to find happiness. Heteronormative socialization excludes many different types of people such as couples who cannot conceive their own

Tocqueville saw America’s problems and knew it would lead to our current state. Tocqueville stated that democracy would lead to individualism and materialism. Today, Americans are apathetic towards many things. Instead of attempting to understand a subject, they don’t want to deal with it. When issues emerge, Americans want the government to take charge and end the debate by passing a law. For example, sexual orientation has been a widely-debated issue. There are two main sides: pro-LGBTQIA+ and those against LGBTQIA+. Those who are against LGBTQIA want the government to step in and make it illegal. But think about how ridiculous it is to outlaw something that is so personal. Sexual orientation does not affect others. People do not bleed every time they meet someone who is gay. Still, they want to control other people’s lives and who they choose to love. Government has taken a bigger role that the founding fathers were against. Government was only supposed to protect and provide for the people. Today, it has a much bigger role in individual’s personal lives. It is taking on the issues of sexual orientation, gender, which bathroom a transgender must use, and much more. These issues are social issues that the government should not be involved in. There is so much more that needs the attention of government officials. For example, the education system, healthcare, tax reform, war, and more. The power we have given government can lead to a tyranny. The more power given to the

The Lgbt community has historically has been ostracized simply because of their sexual sexual preference. They are still denied the right to marry in certain states. Social security benefits has continued to be controversial. Recently transgender individuals using public restrooms has created an outrage. Finally in the following essay, i will discuss where the lgbt community will find a place in the trump administration also homosexuality and discrimination.

Over the past decades, being gay was something no one talked about. It was a subject that was very taboo and society didn’t accept. People saw it as a stage one goes through and something unnatural. Thanks to the media, more and more celebrities have come out of the closet over the years. Soon people became accepting of the gay community and their life style. Being openly gay, lesbian, transgender, or bisexual in the workforce can lead to discrimination. Gay mirages are also frowned upon by society. Unfortunately, there aren’t many laws that protect gay rights.

Coming out – Refers to the experience of some gay and lesbians as they work through to begin and accept to stigmatize identity.

Andrew J. Peters, worked at a small, not-for-profit, community-based organization that operates a project for lesbian and gay youth. When he began working at this agency as a second-year graduate school intern, he have risen up in the ranks to Project Director, on charge of a small staff of social workers, health educators, adolescent peer educators, and social work interns. One good thing about his job, is that he have the ability to combine administrative work with direct client services-individuals, family, and group counseling. He looks forward to meeting with the kids, either individually, through my weekly group, or at their Friday night Drop in Center program called, “The Coffeehouse.” Andrew himself is also a gay man. Being gay, helped him deciding his career of wanting to help people who were struggling to come out. He knew that coming out to himself and others was a painful struggle, the most difficult thing that anyone had ever done in their lives. At the same time, he was lucky because he had a largely supportive family and groups of friends who helped him at that time in his life. With this he knew that many others weren’t so lucky. Many gay and lesbian turned to suicide, substance abuse and suffer from HIV. Andrew personal experience and research provided a foundation for understanding and helping young people through the complicated process of coming out. His biggest day of the week is Friday, when his work starts at 1:00 p.m. and ends at ten or eleven at

hould LBGT couples have the same adoption rights as straight couples? Since the constitutions failed to address the adoption right of LGBT, judicial decisions often determine whether they can serve as parents either individually or as a couple. Policy has not kept up with the changing of society and todays families. LBGT should have the same adoption rights as other couples because everyone deserves equal rights, although some believe a child needs a mom and a dad. Times have changed. With legalizing same sex marriage why deprive couples of a family.

Despite being members of the LGBTQ community, the concerns of transsexuals remains different than the concerns of homosexuals. Author Kate Bornstein believes lesbians and gays are fortunate to have a community where each member can relate to each other, but “the transgendered experience is different” (Bornstein 67). Homosexuality and heterosexuality remains on a system where people are assigned a gender at birth and live with this specific gender while seeking others based on their partners’ genders. Are homosexuals still attack in public for their preferences? Absolutely. They are able, however, to form groups based similar backgrounds and desires to another member. As a straight female, I was born comfortable with societal expectations of my assigned gender, although I can see how others may be uncomfortable with theirs. I act feminine when I feel like it and sometimes I practice some masculine habits. I seek partners that I feel are masculine and aligned with my definition of a male. In the end, I go to my bed at night believing a match all the imaginary criteria of being a female. I do this despite never stopping to think if I have proof that what I believe is the definition of a female really the definition of a female. In this sense, how is a cis lesbian different from me? She was assigned a female gender and she lived with that gender. She can debate with me how she practice her gender roles and who her lovers are to her, but it is a similar story. If she dress

In today’s world, controversies are everywhere, and impossible to avoid in regular day-to-day interactions. When you educate yourself on a controversial subject, you often discover how uneducated and occasionally bigoted other people can be. One such subject is sexuality. As time goes on, sexuality gains more visibility as a growing number of people come out as gay, transgender, and other sexual gender orientations. The LGBT+ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans* plus) community is a supposed safe place for those who identify as queer or trans* (umbrella terms referring to those who don’t identify with heterosexuality and those whose gender identity differs from the sex they were assigned at birth, respectively). However, as with any rule, people will make exceptions. Though many offenders deny, obvious discrimination is seen against minority sexualities, such as asexuality and bisexuality, in forms of jokes and mockeries, invisibility, mislabelling, prejudice, and in some cases, innocent lack of knowledge, from both inside and outside the LGBT+ community.

Transgenders in today’s society are feeling more comfortable coming out. Many Americans do not understand what they go through and what being transgender is all about. Being transgender is not just something a person decide to do just because they want a new look. There is a deeper meaning it is what that person always felt that this is who they are. The equality people and the transgender community has become so unbalanced that they start to attack these groups and in some cases kill. Some companies such as Netflix have created shows featuring the transgender and LGBT communities to show that they are not alone in these battles. Transgenders and non-transgenders have been depicted unequally due to the way that they are portrayed throughout films. Transgenders should have the chance to be treated equal and be able to be themselves just as the others.

Most individuals are convinced that they deserve the rights they are allowed by the government.   An honest citizen who pays their taxes, works for their community and comply with the law should be afforded the rights of an American.  Nevertheless, not all citizens have equal rights.  Gay and lesbians are consistently denied rights that are typically taken for granted by the average American.  Specifically, gay and lesbians pairs are opposed the right to marry even if they’re upstanding citizens.  They are held at an unfair disadvantage due to the fact of their sexual orientation.  This bias has to stop since gay and lesbian couples are law-abiding citizens too, who should be given the very same rights as straight couples.

Over late years homosexuality has turned out to be increasingly acknowledged and coordinated into the present society. In any case, with regards to gay people building up families, an issue is postured. In many states, gay people can embrace children like some other wedded or single grown-up. There are numerous contentions to this dubious theme; a few people trust that it ought to be lawful broadly, while others would incline toward that is was prohibited all over the place, or if nothing else in their individual states. There are consistent motivations to permit gays to receive children, however for a few, these reasons are insufficient. The main issue really is, “What is in the best interest of the child? This type of problem isn’t really one with causes, effects, and solutions” (Stone 2006). Allowing same sex couples to adopt is disadvantageous because it confuses children about gender roles, makes them prone to prone to bullying and increases the likelihood of children developing behavioral problems.

“Within a year, the percentages of cohabiting same-sex couples who were married increased to nearly half - 49 percent - from 38 percent a year earlier” (Jost, 2017). Even though there has been an increase in gay marriages, being a part of the L.G.B.T. community is still looked down upon almost all over the world. Everyday someone who is gay treated unfairly, and there are no laws to prevent it.

The LGBTQ community is for people who can themselves and not get judged just because of the sex/preference they like. All around the world many gay people have been dying. Homosexuality has been around for many years although people think what they’re doing is wrong.It’s not fair for only one sexuality to be seen as “good” or “holy”. Now it’s time to stand up and get them the equal right they deserve.

Same sex marriage is when two people with the same gender get married. Most people label it as homosexual, gay or lesbian marriage. Allowing same gender couples to legally marry is considered to be one of the most important of all LGBT rights. Same sex marriage isn’t hurting anyone, personal I don’t have a problem with it. People should love and be able to marry anyone they please. America is supposed to be a free place. Argentina, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Iceland the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, Spain, South Africa, and Sweden are the 12 countries that allow same sex marriage. Alaska and Hawaii were the first states to
