does it take this much energy to just tell me something?” “Here, I’ll write it on a piece of paper and don’t open it until after I leave.” (A few minutes later) “Aww James you’re gay I always knew it thanks for telling me.” “Umm I kind of can’t talk right now I’m in class.” Growing up as a homosexual male has been challenging for me. This challenge has resulted in me not accepting my own self and reality, and coming to terms with who I really am. I’ve tried to deny it, date girls and just prove that

Gay rights have always been a controversial topic. For centuries, people have fought for the LGBT+ community to have the same rights as everyone else. Kurt Hiller and Lady Gaga share the same passion of wanting LGBT+ equality. Through their different tones and dominant techniques, they both deliver remarkable speeches.

The companies I have chosen to research are Chili’s and TGI Friday’s. On several of the images I viewed the percent of male and female were about half and half. For the images I viewed that included minorities they images showed far less minorities I would estimate 40%. I did not see any disabled people on either website and I saw one older employee pictured on the Chili’s website. Chili’s and TGI Friday’s are global companies and on their websites they strongly promote diversity as seen here

Dad overhears son saying he wants to come out, writes him a letter that goes viral (-- removed HTML --) It isn’t easy being a teenager. Teenagers are halfway to adulthood and are working on figuring out who they are and what kind people they’re going to be. That inner battle surfaces when they act out and when they get emotional. We’ve all been there. What’s harder than being a teenager, however, is being a gay teenager. Gay teenagers have all of the regular teenage issues that they have to

Interest Group Politics and Collective Action The Human Rights Campaign is the largest gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender advocacy group in the nation. With over 400,000 members, the group is able to lobby very effectively in Washington and has an impressive legislative record.

Act (“Library of Congress,” n.d.) would shield private and public workers from employment unfairness by perceived or actual sexual orientation and gender identity.

Gay Rights has always been a controversial topic. People have fought and argued over this simple human right for years and now we are finally seeing progress. The Gay Rights Movement started on 1924 by Henry Gerber, founder of The Society for Human Rights, the first documented Gay Rights organization according to CNN news. From the start homosexuality was considered a “sociopathic personality disturbance” which was diagnosed by the American Psychiatric Association in April 1952. When homosexuality

against John Mica, now in his 12th term, is only one of them. The outcomes of two of the most competitive gubernatorial contests — in Indiana and North Carolina — could be affected by voters’ feelings about how the candidates have handled L.G.B.T. rights.
