A topic we often heard about but, don’t really pay any attention to is homosexual families. This topic has recently been attracting a vast amount of public attention and has stirred up many controversies that will be talked about in this paper. However lets talk more about the background behind the topic; just this year alone the LGBT community has made some astounding advancements in accomplishing equal recognition.

If you look one YouTube you can find videos of gay couples walking around places in Russia, Israel and I think New York (working on this) and in the places out side of the US you see the couple get physically assaulted and attacked by people that are extremely against homosexuals. And in the New York video you see people stair and shout vulgar
