    is running for president in the 2016 election . He believes that women do not deserve equal pay, that the US must not help people to get out of debt, and that “gay rights” should be revoked. Now “gay rights”, as they are referred to, are actually rights for the LGBT community. LGBT stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender, so “gay rights” actually cover a lot more individuals.

    of the hate that I was taught towards particular types of people. So the biggest stereotype that I feel I had and that has changed is that all gay people talk and dress “funny” and are not Christians. I guess that I got this stereotype from only having a small influence of gay men from TV when I was growing up and never actually meeting anyone who was gay until I got into college. My parents were very religious and my step dad was extremely hateful to things he didn’t understand or like so when there

    topic, but when you really think of why you feel that way it’s hard to come up with reasons why? That’s kind of how I feel about today’s topic; it’s an issue I don’t feel even deserves an explanation, it should just be. The topic is on whether or not gay and lesbians should be allowed to adopt. I am one hundred and ten percent for this issue, and I believe that everyone should see it as I do. Of course that is a little unreasonable, however that won’t stop me from trying to persuade the other side.

    I am proud to be a bisexual African American female with a passion for technology. Yet my journey has not been easy. For my mother, my sexuality was difficult to understand. Due to my strict Jamaican background, she not only misunderstood, but she fought with me. Uncovering my bisexuality was read as a war cry. This led her to try everything in her power to stop or revert this from happening. At one point, not even girls were allowed to sleep over. Her behavior felt dehumanizing and these feelings

    GEN SILENT After viewing the film “GEN SILENT”, I was speechless by some of the experiences and challenges faced by the aging LGBT seniors. To me, it is a disgrace to see in this day and age that human beings are experiencing these challenges (emotional, social, and psychological) and stigma by their families, strangers and health care providers simply because of their sexual orientations or preferences. I feel that it is a disgrace for such an inequality to continue to be of existence in the 21st
