Pros And Cons Of Discrimination Against Gay People

Improved Essays
Why does the world hate and discriminate against gay people so much? Do they feel like gay people are superior because they receive some type of special attention? I feel that gay people are human as well. We should always respect people no matter what the circumstance. When you love someone it’s from something that’s deep down inside not matter what others might think. Most people fear gay people presence when in actuality they are here to cause no harm. That’s right they are just as equal as the next person. The only difference is that they love the same sex. Most people feel that since someone is gay they should feel some type of way. Wrong again just because that person is gay does not mean that they want anything to do with you. Gay people have standards as well as anybody else they are human. Yes, they make mistakes as well as anybody else but they are also punished as anybody else as well. Most times gays don’t receive the same treatment as others and this has been a problem for the longest. This is something that is not fair. I feel like there are a lot of down low people out there. Down low just means that you are gay but instead of risking everyone finding out that you are gay you keep it on the down low. You remain anonymous so that people don’t begin to look at you …show more content…
One con is that gay marriage is not traditional so it shouldn’t be allowed. Another con is that in same sex marriage you cannot produce children. Most people stated that if you cannot produce children than you should not be able to marry. They really didn’t think before they actually made this statement. There are a lot of traditional male and female marriages where in some cases due to complications the female is not able to have kids. Although sometimes there are some males whose sperm count is not high enough to produce children either. So I feel like this reason should be wiped away from anyone who thinks people should not marry the same

    Roxanne Gay’s A Tale of Three Coming Out Stories is very powerful. In this book she gives us 3 examples of when public figures most noticeably, Frank Ocean decided to come out and tell the public they’re gay. Most responses to this turned out to be good and that shows what kind of a society we are today. Above I have listed the key repitions and oppositions and ranked them in the way I thought they were most important. My rankings show me that today in this world as people come out it is not as big as a problem because today we are more of an accepting society.…

    Gay marriage is an issue that is similar to nearly every controversial issue in America History. Most conscientious social issues in America life begin with a large majority of traditionalists pushing back, then some dramatic event event will usually occur, following that public opinion will slowly start to even out, and eventually past actions/ideas will be seen as prejudiced. It's like America collectively goes through the stages of grief before we see social justice: Denial, a lot of anger, barraging, sadness, and then finally acceptance. Along with million of Americans who felt similarly, we saw denial in Senator Jesse Helms by saying that homosexuals were morally wrenched, and believing that homosexuality was a choice. Collectively, we saw the anger in families across the country disowning their children; similarly there was anger in the viscous murder of Matthew Shepard.…

    Instead of just liking or hating homosexuals for their personality and traits, they are just completely hated based off of one part of who they are. People will see them as gay before they recognize them as a person. So if they don’t like gays, they will immediately dislike and have negative dispositions for them even if they didn’t do anything wrong towards them. Harassment is a real obstacle that gays face, there was once a time that my sister and I, who I note is a lesbian, were walking in the city after the 2015 Pride Parade. We were enjoying the cityscape and the countries legalization of gay marriage, while wearing rainbow accessories from the event when suddenly a man that I never knew came up to us.…

    Same-Sex Schools Controversy over gender-segregated versus coeducational classrooms has raged over the past several decades. Among the arguments there are four primary sources of contention. These include socialization, stereotyping, academic gain/loss, and whether or not students should be allowed an option between coed or single-sex classes. Opponents claim that the negatives far outweigh the positives for both boys and girls while supporters of this system of classroom division maintain that students profit in numerous ways. “In the United States, part of the rationale for single-sex schooling is the view that adolescents create a culture in school that is at odds with academic performance and achievement” (Hughes).…

    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…

    For centuries homosexuality was viewed as taboo but in actuality it has been present since the days of Alexander the Great. As of late people’s attitudes towards homosexuality have shifted in connotation. In the 1980’s, due to the HIV and AIDS epidemic gay men were looked down upon and isolated because people did not understand that the disease was sexually transmitted and could be given by direct contact. They just knew gay people were associated with the disease. These views contrast with new public attitudes towards homosexuality in 2015 when the Supreme Court ruled same sex marriage as legal in all states of the United States.…

    Well they have to deal with that everyday from lowlifes who don't care about others. Some even get their lives taken from them because how they chose to live one. Hundreds of people in the LGBT the Community have died to the hatred of others. No one should decide if you live or die because of the way you are. I despise when people say things like “oh that's so gay” when someone is doing something slightly different from their lifestyle.…

    People are made fun of on a daily basis for being themselves. People in the L.G.B.T. community are especially made fun of, laughed at and treated like lesser people, just for being themselves. People think that just because you learned something as a part of their religion, that it is the complete truth. People say that just because someone found true love in someone that happens to be the same sexuality as them, that they are not like other people and will not be able to enjoy life like it was meant to. Homophobia is destroying this country because when people are feared/against homosexuality, they are not only insulting that one person, they are insulting an entire lifestyle.…

    Fear and Hate: Homophobia One of the main human interactions, love, allows people to express their feelings for something or one another resulting in them spreading their affection. What happens when the controlling force over the people, the government, derive those of the same-sexual identities from expressing their own love to each other? Andrew E. Kramer is the writer of the article “Chechen Authorities Arresting and Killing Gay Men, Russian Paper Says” where he writes of the horrors taking place in which gay men are being arrested and some executed in taboo of their sexual orientation all around this Russian republic. “Homophobia in Kenya: is a change going to come?”…

    I think you believe that is someone disagrees with a homosexual issue they must be homophobic and that's not true. A phobia is a fear, just because someone might disagree with a homosexual issue does not mean the fear it, it means they disagree with it. The term you use "homophobic" is simply a term used to guilt someone into silence so they cannot have an opinion on the subject. Last I heard, this is American and you can disagree with anything you want even if it offends someone else. That is the purpose of "free speech", it ensures that even unpopular speech has the right to be heard.…

Already trying to enforce the idea that there are only two genders the moment they take their first breath. JAC Stringer of the Heartland Trans* Wellness Group defined, gender binary as the cultural belief of only two genders existing and they have to correspond to the appropriate sex. This social construct is iterated on a daily basis whether it is through medical institutions, language or applications. As a result of its dominance in society, the gender binary system is highly exclusive towards non-binary and transgender people.…

    But, the one thing that holds them back is the law. Many states in the U.S banned homosexual marriage due to the fact that marriage between man and woman has been around for the past millennia. Lots of people thinks that same-sex marriage is one of the reasons that and that it supposedly wrecks the balance between traditional marriage and the balance between man and woman that’s supposed to equally balance the differences and family to create a brand- new creation to create man and woman as one. Phooey. People don’t know who is able to enforce marriage.…

    Why? Being gay is natural. Sure, moral fundamentalists may think it is a sin, but who are they to deny rights to those who are doing something that is just as right as a man loving a woman? Gays couples can be models of family life, offering just as much love and support for children as hetersexual couples. Gender should not be covered by marriage law, as the constitution protects US citizens from gender discrimination.…
