    People who work in these companies are Christians and they are against homosexuals (which is respectable). However when it gets to the point where they can use religion to discriminate them is absurd. Christians should have a heart to love one another not hate the person next to you because he/she is gay. Now that Gonzalez filed the bill, they have the right to kick them out of their establishment. “When that happen-the true faith, the central meaning that is taught in its scriptures, is distorted, if not corrupted.…

    In a world of injustice and hatred, one would believe that people would at least have the audacity to respect others playing the cruel game of life. Homosexuals have faced many hardships and discriminatory laws that have suggested that they differ from heterosexuals and do not deserve equality. The unjust treatment towards homosexuals lacks mutual respect to marriage laws, adoption policies, and job opportunities. Homosexual couples may not fit the generic standards of what is considered normal in society but are humans, a part of our own species, and just as equally worthy of all rights that heterosexual couples have. On the other hand, there is a number of people who believe that homosexuality is a sin and against their religion, and others…

Upon this earth, the United States of America has always been notorious for its blend of every type of individual imaginable; it is home to nearly 318.9 million people, all of which descend from every crack and crevice of the planet with their own set of traits and characteristics. One unique group in particular has risen like the Phoenix from the ashes of inequality and changed the mindset of society throughout the twentieth and twenty first century, and it continues the fight today; this group is none other than the LGBT community, an assortment of American citizens who identify with a different sexuality or gender than what society has instituted as what…

    Gay love has been an issue for the longest now and it’s beginning to get out of hand. But that’s not the only thing that’s getting out of hand, what also is getting out of hand is societies view on those who are transgender. Which brought to my attention that some people are so reluctant to change that they resort violence and brute force in order to shape things into their image whenever something that they say is wrong starts to occur. They are only interested and care about what they want to see is “right” day to day. The way we approach people who are gay or transgender is outright ridiculous and ignorant which can easily be added to the millions of other situations where ignorance has occurred in history.…

    “When all men give to all others all the rights they claim for themselves, this world will be civilized”, said Robert G. Ingersoll, an orator of United States during the Golden Age of Free Thought. Although the rights of Lesbian, Gay Bi-sexual, Transgender, and Questioning (LGBTQ) Canadians have advanced rapidly over the last decade, both societally and legally, there is still a long journey ahead on the road to equality. The issue of LGBTQ inequality and discrimination is one that is extremely important to Canadians because LGBTQ discrimination affects a significant portion of Canadian citizens.

    The 1990s were an era of increasing recognition of homosexuality in broadcast media, so much so that scholar Ron Becker referred to the period as “the gay 1990s”, as programs increasingly began to depict gay characters both explicitly and implicitly. Since the emergence of such characters the representation of members of the LGBTQ+ community has increased and broadened, which is especially evident when comparing the “Men on Film” sketch from the pilot of FOX’s In Living Color in 1990, and ABCs How to Get Away with Murder (2014-present). The depictions of LGBTQ+ characters in these programs represent the evolution and synthesis of audience targeting in increasingly competitive industrial environments and in the increasingly tolerant sociopolitical…

    It seems so simple to love, that the comfort of attraction lends itself to everyone and that the subtleties of interest are selfsame, by instinct at least; even so, it’s said that we’re conditioned to love, but to me, it’s not that we’re conditioned to it as much as we’re in the condition of its capability, simply being human—to love’s as natural as life itself, as typical as sight or sound, as native as a thought of rationality. Trouble, then, comes about when love we know true doesn’t quite liken the love someone else experiences, from which differences and judgements then arise. This is true of many circumstances, but continues to be true for Americans who identify as LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, or Transgendered)—that judgments of them…
