What's wrong with love? Because last time I checked that all any of us want. A sense of happiness or something to escape the loneliness, either way we all want love. It's one of the only things that unite us all as humans, then how come we put restrictions on love saying she can only be with him and he can only be with her, what's wrong with him and him or her and her, because is that not love too?

Living in this world full of hate it can be hard to be yourself, which is damaging to everyone. Now imagine that you have to hide you sexual orientation or gender identity from everyone around you. How hard would that be? Having your parents love you for someone you are not, that is not something that everyone can live with. You also struggle with homophobic, transphobic, biphobic and acephobic mentalities and tell you friends and family who you truly are is no easy task, when a person finally feels ready to go through the emotional event of comes out as LGBT they are virtually reintroducing themselves to the world. …show more content…
Kids like this make up 40% of the overall homelessness experienced by youths. If they are not kicked out or disowned they face the chance of being told it's 'just a phase', which all together is damaging as it greatly affects the self-esteem and lives of the people in the LGBT community. They are just trying to love who they love. What is really wrong with that? Its love after

    Homelessness In Santa Cruz Case Study

    These youths are usually kicked out of their homes for being LGBTQ with nowhere else to turn. Youth flee from home because 46% of runaway and homeless youth reported being physically abused, 38% reported being emotionally abused, 17% reported being forced into unwanted sexual activity by a family or household member, and 75% of homeless or runaway youth dropped out or will drop out of school. Imagine if 75% of UCSC students just dropped out of school, that would get people’s attention.

    What Is The Prejudice In To Kill A Mockingbird

    Society's Prejudice on Love The United States claims to have equality and freedom of expression, but many citizens have experiences in their day to day life that would disprove this said claim. What people most often neglect to recognize is the lack of equality that lies within expression of love. When someone is transgender, homosexual or even attracted to a different race they are at risk. That is why so many people are afraid to come out.…

    Homeless Youth Thesis

    Serving LGBT* Homeless Youth The Problem Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender youth are at a disadvantage compared to their straight peers when they are faced with homelessness.

    Personal Narrative: Coming Out

    Coming out isn’t ever painless, but in the end it’s worthwhile. On October 10, 2015 I came out to my friends as a lesbian. It took over three years to mustard up the courage to accept myself. The moment I realized I was “different” I immediately block the notion from my head and reframed from it for over two years. I allowed myself to believe the lie I fictitious, until the point I could no longer function.…

    Personal Narrative: My Life As A Lesbian

    My worry was that I won't be bringing a man home to my parents like they've always expected, and their grandchildren will likely be dogs. I'm lucky enough to have accepting parents, but even so, I'm still not ready to come out to my family yet. The majority of southerners seem to share a negative opinion of gay people, so living in the south for most of my life has made it harder for me to open up about this part of myself. I felt like I owed the world what it expected of me. But forcing myself to be something I'm not doesn't even help the world, it just harms…

    Coming out is such a terrifying, depressing, hard experience. When I came out, I wasn’t ready. Back on November 9th, 2015, I first came out to my mom, and than next I came out to all of my friends, and they didn’t really support me, or they didn’t believe me. I was so scared, I became so depressed, and so upset. I felt unwanted, and I felt so wrong.…

Children who have decided to come out usually find it hard to be accepted, especially when bullies come into the picture.

    Intersectionality Reflection Paper

    On the day of the event, I became hesitant in my choice of attending the lecture. I knew what the lecture was scheduled to be about, but I questioned if I would be welcomed to participate, even with it being open to the public. The atmosphere on campus inspired me. Every couple of feet, the NC State emblem is built into the sidewalk with white bricks on a maroon background. Seeing the different ethnicities of students as I walked to the Talley Student Union was different from what I had become accustomed to with working on the campus of a historically black college/university.…

    As I watch the news and see how the black people of America talk about how “Black Lives Matter”, it breaks my heart. I can’t believe how far we have fallen from. Yes, as a black woman, living in America, I do at times fear for my life when I am stopped by a police officer these days, but I’m not alone. I do feel like that black lives matter but I also feel that all lives matter.…

    It Gets Better Project

    According to the article, researcher Gary Remafedi and colleagues expected to find a correlation between homosexuality and suicide risks for adolescents (Remafedi). Researchers have tried to explain the increasing suicide rate for many years. The recent rise in suicide rates among bisexual and homosexual teenagers has created much controversy. Among the LGBT community some people feel there is no bearing on sexual orientation and suicide risk, while others argue it is a big part of the rising suicide rates. The present study included 131 males and 144 females who identified as bisexual, and 81 males and 38 females who identified as mostly/ 100% heterosexual (Remafedi).…

    Coming Out For Gay Teens Essay

    The two trends relating to coming out for gay teens is that of being left by family and friends and that of being bullied by peers, yet “The Internet also has eased isolation for gay teens, offering a place for socializing and support, says Stephanie Sanders of the Kinsey Institute for Research in Sex, Gender, and Reproduction in Bloomington, Ind.” (Elias, 2007) Before the internet, gay teens had to make big decisions on who to tell and when to tell them due to fear of being isolated, yet knowing what may or may not transpire by joining a group on the internet may ease the pain of coming out for gay teens Another trend relating to gay teens coming out is “In the case of coming out youths, not only must they negotiate the oppressive society at large, but they must also deal with the extra pressures of living within the often-homophobic contexts of their families and school environments.” (Bernal, 2005) in which case I will tell you from when these articles have been published and now, more teens are able to say they are either bi-sexual or gay to their peers and be accepted than a decade ago. It seems to me that more teens are experimenting with their sexuality now than in the past. As a mother, I hear of teen girls who say they are “bi-sexual” or “transgender” yet still are accepted by their peers for who they are…

    Openness And Acceptability To Gay Men

    Today there is so much missing about gender and sexual orientation that we, as a society, choose to ignore. Most of the time it is discussed only if it is a negative light. For example, the time when the SB1070 law almost went into effect. Thankfully, the reason it didn’t pass is because of the outrage it caused and the publicity it instigated.…

    The Zeitgeist

    The Zeitgeist, as explained in the text is the “spirit of the times”. There are several areas of discussion in our current cultural climate in the United States. Some of these discussions have been ever evolving, while other areas have taken drastic shifts on how they are viewed and discussed. One important cultural climate today is the acceptance LGBTQ community. I suppose acceptance may not be the correct term to use as there is still several areas of inequality in comparison with heterosexual couples but we are moving in the right direction in comparison with past history of homosexuality.…

    Option B Loving someone is different from being “in love” with them. Throughout the course of our lives we learn what love is. By the age of five we already begin to understand the concept of love by expressing it towards our families and friends, but there is a difference between loving someone and being “in love” with them. Being “in love” with someone is a different feeling then love because our emotions are at an all time high.…
