The Similarities Between LGBT And Muslims And The LGBT Community

Hate crime is a motivated violent act by a group or individual perpetrator towards a specific race, colour or religion (Collins, Pg 93,192). For many years, authority figures and the media have ignored hate crime offences towards individuals who identify under the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer (LGBTQ) umbrella. Up until the 20th century and prior to the 1964 Civil Rights Act, LGBTQ persons have been victimized in violent crimes based solely on gender identification and orientation. With a myriad of events, cases and unreported individual incidents the burden of proof towards hate crime on LQBTQ increased. The development of North American law towards LGBTQ citizens has improved throughout the last two decades. However, there

More often than not, many refugees struggle to find acceptance in the place in which they fled to. Interestingly, throughout history there exists a trend of undesirable groups from one particular region often find themselves struggling to find acceptance elsewhere (Arendt, 1968, p. 269). This particular trend can be seen in the migrations of LGBTQ asylum-seekers.

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.

“Although sharply divided, public attitudes toward gays and lesbians are rapidly changing to reflect greater acceptance, with younger generations leading the way” (NORC University of Chicago, 2010, p. 1). This push for international acceptance of the LGBT people could not come any sooner. Lesbians, gays, bisexuals as well as transgender individuals from around the world have almost all experienced some sort of discrimination in their lives. This is why there is such a gap between heterosexual and LGBT people. There are hundreds, if not more, reasons for why some people will not accept LGBT individuals and couples, whether it is religion, family values or simply the fact that some people find LGBT people unnatural. This is why the common sufferings

In this Gays and lesbians deserve equal protection against the hate crimes that happen in the world. Aren't we told as young children and also throughout life to treat others as we would want to be treated? So why are some decimated against based on sexual preference? The statistics show the percentages of the hate discrimination against the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transsexual community. The violence that they are pitted against, due to people's discrimination against them, in life. And I will also mention the discrimination that the LGBT community goes through and what they miss out based on sexual preference.

One of my friends thinks being gay, lesbian. bisexual and transgender is wrong because of his religion. If people keep thinking that, no one is ever going to be equal. It is so wrong to hate people because they are different. Everyone deserves to be loved and accepted. In this society it will not be likely to happen because everyone makes fun of people who are different. Being different is a great thing because it shows that the person who is different is confident and does not care of what people think of them. People, especially little kids, make fun of people who are different. I was born with a lazy eye so I had to wear an eye patch growing up. I was made fun of and called a pirate. A close friend of mine was born with one ear and had to get it recreated out of skin from different areas of his body. He hates the people who made fun of him. People have different personalities, so it is not likely to ever be equal. There are people who spread rumors criticizing others; the other people are not equal anymore because people are judging

The Stonewall Riots in 1969 leading to the first Gay Pride Parade in 1970 started a public discourse on LGBT rights (The Stonewall Riots). In the years to follow, two opposing mass movements manifested: the LGBT movement and the Religious Right movement. The LGBT movement aimed to get equal rights for homosexuals. The Religious Right focused on stopping the perceived moral decay of America and protecting children from lesbians and gays. While these movements had polar opposite goals, they used surprisingly similar methods to get their messages across.

Imagine feeling unsafe wherever you go, fearing that you’re going to be the next victim of a hate crime. Being terrified that your family is going to get a call saying that your body was found lifeless, bloody, and nearly unidentifiable on the side of the road. Gay and trans youth are constantly fearing that they are going to be killed, beaten, , kicked out, or unaccepted for something they cannot control. LGBT+ people are twice as likely to be victims of hate crimes than any other minority. Despite these statistics, the media hardly covers their deaths or beatings. Justice should not be taken away from an individual due to their sexual orientation, preference, or gender because we are all equal, regardless of circumstances.

In recent years, society has become more accepting towards the LGBTQ community; however, it is of vital importance to explore and understand why different races with differed cultural backgrounds and religious beliefs approach the subject in an adversely manner. Minorities, specifically Latinos and African Americans, tend to have a completely different experience than that of their Caucasian counterparts when it comes to exploring their sexuality and ultimately coming out to their families. It is important to analyze how the reaction of certain races towards the LGBTQ community, specifically transgender individuals, and how it ties back in to their cultural backgrounds. The objective is to explain why different racial groups react differently

Intersectionality is a relevant theory for some gay, lesbian or bisexual individuals. Intersectionality studies "the relationships among multiple dimensions and modalities of social relationships and subject formations" (McCall, 2005). The theory argues, pursues and considers how gender, race, sexual orientation and other categories of identity interact on many and often concurring levels of social relationships, therefore allowing discrimination and social inequity. Intersectionality explains how the notion of social injustice, such as racism, sexism, homophobia, and belief-based bigotry such as religion are not independent of one another; instead, they are interconnected, and thereby reflect “intersectionality” in regards to social

Homosexual marriage is a public concept that should be acknowledged in the Middle East. Yet the idea can’t be acknowledged without a few key phases. The government is one of the main reasons why gay marriage is not permitted in the Middle East. Most Arab people abide by the law, and religion, and hence do not approve of homosexuality. If the rules and regulations were to change, there may be a change in how people view homosexuals. Moreover, the regime is greatly influenced by religion. Religion can’t be altered, but marriage can. If all marriages were to become civil, out of religious jurisdiction, there may be a possibility for gay marriage to occur. All these steps can slowly

People are being distracted by what the internet is providing. Although people are forced to cope with the changes in the society they still have the option to have a religious belief which they are lacking. In addition to the negative impact of the internet, the world has different views because of this there are a lot of people who are against religions. I’ve noticed there is a growing amount of hatred against Catholic’s and Muslims. Catholic and Christian churches are forced to allow gay and lesbian couples to marry in their sanctuaries. Some evangelical Protestant denominations, Catholic’s, Mormon’s, and Orthodox Jewish groups oppose gay marriage on religious grounds. Most people are not accepting of the fact which is now stirring up chaos in our country. Professor Robin Fretwell Wilson says “It’s possible that institutions will be pressured to give ground on gay marriage by federal authorities.” (Masci, 2015) . Professor Wilson also said the threat the gays could pose to the churches would be lawsuits because there are laws against sex discrimination. Muslim Americans are in the hot seat as well. Since the tragedy of 9/11 occurred there has been increasing in hate against the Muslims in the American culture. It’s a shame some Americans see all Muslims as evil because of the crimes that involved Muslim’s high jacking planes and crashing them into the Twin Towers. There has been disturbances coming from Muslim members of a terrorist group called ISIS.

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.

A social problem is normally a term used to describe problems with a particular area or group of people in the world. Social problems often involve problems that affect real life. It also affects how people react to certain situations. While differences in racial/ethnic prejudices have been explored extensively in past literature (e.g. Bobo and Zubrinksy’s 1996, study of differential prejudices directed toward Hispanic and Black individuals), little U.S. research has investigated how attitudes toward lesbians, gays, bisexual men, bisexual women, and male-to-female (MtF) and female-to-male (FtM) transgender (henceforth “LGBT”) may differ ( Marcus, 2015).

The world change day by day and we as a men, we keep improving and enhance our knowledge. We will use different way of view to judge whether it is positive, negative, ethical or unethical. In this society, we have a LGBT community which stand for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender. The unique of this community is they like person who are same sex with them, in other word is homosexual. In the past, the acceptance toward same sex love or gay marriage is very low but now the acceptance of the society toward this them is increase. Everyone has their right to love someone they loved, the love they give to their partner is same as how we love the one we loved. They having a ‘gay’ gene and environment and social factors influence, (Sarah K., 2014). We should respect on the decision that they made for their current life and also their future. We have no right on judging or controlling their life when they are being themselves. In these few years, most of the people accept them especially for the Generation Y. Their acceptance is higher than the Generation Y that is why Generation Y will comfort “with the whole gay thing”, (Jonathan D.L., 2013)
