Judgment And Discrimination Against Gay People Essay

Decent Essays
Judgment and discrimination against gay people is still an issue.
Gay issue has been a particular talking point in recent years. When homosexuals claimed the same rights we have, our so called “moral values” prevented gay people to take fully part in our community. However the approach we took against them is controversial because the morals themselves preach equality between humans, which means towards transgender people as well.
Even though society embrace transgender people much more than in the past, often times, we consider homosexual people as weird and alien. Gay people, however, are nothing short of human beings and peers; thus, they deserve the same amount of respect we show to everyone else.
Homophobia is a hot topic: according

Activists have also tried to prove it in order to obtain civil rights more easily. In fact many researchers have studied the apparently gene related fenomen. On the other hand the proof would be harmful because it would utterly separate gay people from humanity, in other words it would prove that gay people are a different “species”. However, Dr.Knight, director of the Culture and Family Institute, carefully revised these theories of correlation between genes and homosexuality and claims that even though genes could increase the risk of homosexuality “ behaviors and preferences are influenced by a host of factors including learned social patterns and environment”. Moreover, the fact that multiple homosexual people change to heterosexual orientation should tell us that the activists’ claim is far-fetched.Fortunately no direct correlation exists between homosexuality and genes, in which case the difference between “them” and us would be highlighted and people classified as “transgender” would be harassed even more than they currently …show more content…
During the segregation people were so convinced colored skinned people were different that they thought they deserved to go on different buses, to wait until “the whites” were done in lines. Today we think that these different people should not be allowed to marry or live the way “we” do, but, in this reasoning we fail to consider that homosexuals are in nothing different than us. As we do have different opinions and believes that shape everyone of us, gay people made the choice to engage in same-sex relationship. The same rights we have, which are based on the value we believe in, cover all the people including but not limited to

    Another topic mentioned in Evolution’s Rainbow was sexual orientation relating to the “gay gene” that was thought to be found in 1993. Two experimentalists, Hamer and Pattatucci, claimed homosexuality was linked to a spot on the X chromosome called the “gay gene” which was located at the tip of the long arm, section Xq28 (Roughgarden 2004). They created a test to detect this newly found gay gene between homosexual brothers. Results showed that only 33 out of the 40 brothers shared the section Xq28, resulting it not be related to homosexuality at all (Roughgarden…

    The classification of any non-heteronormative as a mental illness during the 20th century has created immense stigma against the population in the status quo and as such, religious beliefs that oppose the LGBTQ+ have taken advantage of such stigma and used popular culture to isolate this part of our community.

    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.…

    We as a nation are thought to be bonded and supportive towards each other, but our beliefs have separated us into thinking that only one way is the correct way to be accepted within society. Religion that has been taught to many across the state bash the thoughts and hopes of others. Being born a certain gender does not define who a person truly are on the inside. Transgender men and women face discrimination from everyone including each other. With people telling them that “ that's not real” “you were born a boy, so I will address you as a boy”and the classical “ God made you who you are”.…

    Less obviously, the idea that sexuality is more a product of biology is problematic because there could still be intervention using misguided medicine (Sedgwick 43). Overall, I believe that people should not see being homosexual as a problem so that the origin of sexuality is not explored in an effort to “fix someone”. Nature versus nurture is not a stable argument because it can harm people, often without their full…

    Homosexuals are one of the last groups of people to be unequal in the United States, considering, women and African americans have stood up and fought for their equality. The framers of the constitution lack the laws of discriminating upon people based on their sexual preferences or lifestyle; making hate crimes, discrimination, and inequality more common and accepted among citizens. By making anti-discrimination laws, legalizing gay marriage, allowing gays to serve in the military, allowing homosexuals to adopt and widely accepting the presence and equality of homosexuals, we set our future generations much more unbiased and accepting generation.…

    Marcus Bachmann, a therapist who runs a Christian counseling place, claimed that homosexuality could be cured. Bachmann stated that homosexuality is both a choice and a threat (Goldberg, 2011). A method called the conversion therapy is a way of curing homosexuality. A conversion therapy aimed to re-assign the sexual orientation of its patient. During 1950s and 1960s, a conversion therapy is done by pressuring its patient to masturbate to a picture of those of the opposite sex whilst they will be electrically shocked when they are shown a picture of those with the same sex.…

    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…
