Ever since the fight for gay rights started, that is when it become more normal and not looked down upon. Not only is there more gay characters on hit television shows, but there are plenty of actors on television shows that are homosexuals in real life. Not only is there more homosexuals, there is also beginning to be a few transgenders that have popped up as well. Some shows that publicly include gay and transgender characters are "Glee," Grey's Anatomy," and "Modern Family"("Gay on Tv: It's All in the Family,"2012). Not only the fiction shows have that, but shows like "Keeping Up With The Kardashians" as well. Their own dad came out to say he wanted to be a girl. He was a major athlete in the Olympics, and he came out. It has been shown that many people have been influenced to come out and be more open with their sexuality, because when they see people on television doing so; they will as well.

Learning family advocacy requires students to develop an understanding of contemporary cultural issues surrounding traditional marriage. The struggle over defining marriage was thought to be somewhat settled through the 1996 Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA); however, as this law’s ramifications were realized, greater debate resulted about the moral, philosophical, and civic repercussions of this legal definition. This paper will provide a better understanding of the historical and worldview changes that occurred within the United States over homosexuality and same-sex marriage (SSM). After gaining a better understanding of these issues, the paper will also provide an exploration of the strengths and weaknesses of DOMA from these differing perspectives. In addition, recommendations will be offered for further changes of law and advocacy that would encourage the altering of current thought intent on stifling the defense of traditional marriage.

A relationship is defined as a way in which two or more concepts, objects, or people are connected, or the state of being connected. “Mariam Webstar 11/01/16” Webstar also states that a relationship can also be a romantic or sexual friendship between two people. In many states under public view, a relationship is supposed to between a man and a woman, however, the era of a relationship being between a man and a woman is over. Now a days, the publics eye has ben more accepting of homosexuality in America. A recent article posted on www. Gallup.com, stated “Over the last few decades, landmark legal cases, medical discoveries, and movies and TV shows have done much to increase acceptance toward homosexuality in American culture {.}”

After the 19th century European history, we merge into American history. There was close to no studies done up until Post World War II. There was some encouraging growth for gay life that was very much apparent in Greenwich and Harlem in the 1920’s and this is also when the community adopted the pink and black triangle. The war allowed for gay men and lesbian women to insert themselves into the war efforts without being constantly chastised. There were efforts to work towards gaining more acknowledgement of this community. One of whom that led for this justice in the 1950’s was Senator Joseph McCarthy with his investigation of homosexuals in government positions. His investigation is what led up to the first politically inclined demand for

Is the day coming when business owners in America will have the ability to refuse to serve someone with whom they disagree? Imagine seeing a sign that says “We Don’t Serve Gays” in the window of a coffee shop. Most people would voice their outrage; they would demand an explanation of the owner, wondering what could have spurred the idea for such a discriminatory sign. Should the owner keep his or her sign up only because homosexuality is against their moral beliefs?

What is homosexuality? Homosexuality is the sexual or romantic attraction between persons of the same gender. Nobody knows when the homosexuality started, but it is been there since a long years ago. Homosexual people are been having hard days through the years, because religions. Every year are more states around the world that are giving the same right to the homosexuals, and giving them opportunities to normal life. Discrimination against homosexual are one of the principal problems around the world, there are more problems about gay bullying, homophobia and discrimination.

The declaration of independence states, “All men are created equal, that they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights.” Written over two hundred years ago, and even then, people believed in the importance of equality. But even more recently, 50 years ago, acts of homosexuality were illegal in every state in America. In today’s society, there is more diversity than we have ever had, but how did it get that way?

In American society it is considered to be extremely rude to ask about one's sexual orientation. A person's sexual orientation is personal and it is not something that people openly share with strangers. At UCLA, I broke the social norm of asking students about their sexual orientation, where a male student felt antagonized and became hostile, however if I were a white male wearing a suit and tie, he would have probably reacted in a more subtle manner.

The LGBT culture has been in existence in the United States for centuries. It has been influenced in many ways by many cultures. The influence has cause the LGBT culture to go through a great amount of obstacles throughout time. Consequently, it has created the LGBT culture that exists today.

Regardless of the many experiments tested, there will still be an underlying mystery that correlates with the scientific explanation of this topic. We will never truly know why a person will become gay but we do know some situations that could alter a person’s sexuality.

Coming out as a homosexual is tough task in and of itself. If you come to this realization after you already have a family, it becomes even harder. At this point, your decision no longer just affects you. Embracing your true identity has the potential to shatter your loved ones lives. It can be very hard for your children grasp or understand how somebody who married the other gender can be a homosexual. Your significant other, the person who you were supposed to love unconditionally, now has to try to cope with the idea that the person she married no longer finds her romantically attractive. One can only imagine the gossip about yourself that will be spread around the community and workplace.

The decade-long issue on legalizing same-sex marriage in all 50 states is up for debate. Originally the justices were avoiding hearing appeals about same-sex marriage being allowed in five states. Then number of states gradually increased to 19, 24, and then 36. Gay rights activists are finally making a dent in this decade-long issue. As one said, “We are finally within sight of the day when same-sex couples across the country will be able to share equally in the joys, protections and responsibilities of marriage” (Davidson). Sources say that because of previous rulings the court will rule in favor of same-sex marriage. The two main concerns on this debate are whether congress must require states to give marriage licenses to the couples and if that is not the case. Do they have to recognize same-sex marriages that were performed in other states?

It is hard to say whether we still live in a heteronormative world as there are good arguments for both sides. In my opinion, I think that most people still believe that heterosexuality is the norm, but I also believe that most people no longer think of homosexuality as something negative. While homosexuality is not the standard sexuality, it is becoming more accepted because it is now more common for gay people, bisexuals, and transgenders to make others aware of their sexual orientation and tell their stories.
