Hours had passed and then I found out the status was a joke written by friend number two on friend number one’s account. Friend one also commented something along the lines of that he hoped he didn’t offend…

movement, personal coming out stories from friends and the bullying associated with it, and finally my opinion on the mater. On June 28, 1969 in the hours prior to dawn a riot broke out after police were called to Greenwich NY. Police we’re called because in this time period it wasn’t acceptable to be openly gay. On the first night the police won the battle. The following night more people joined the fight reaching over one thousand people. This movement lasted for three days until finally the…

The fact that he was hesitant to come out to one of his Catholic friends is an example of this. The bible has taught many people to label homosexuals as sinners and so many religious people label homosexuals as deviant people who are going against the word of God. My friend also talked about…

people’s lives? In my paper, I give out the explanation on how God and evil can coexist with one another because good can triumph over evil through perseverance. This goes on with the relationship between justice and vengeance and how the two can’t live without the other. Though it may be hard to actually consider this, there are many forms to prove this as to be true. God has evil on Earth for the people to understand that there is always a need to make sure to give out a lesson and make others…

Page 153 in Fun Home, Alison illustrates the situation that almost threw him out of the closet. Being caught with a young man and beer in his car. Now, that situation is not something you’d want to have over you. Bad enough that men of the gay community in the 1960’s were portrayed as older men who prey on young boys or pedophiles…

Her voice is back. I thought it was gone. It’s back. I lay on my bed shoving pillows against my ears trying to get it to stop, but the voice isn’t something I can shut out because I know that it’s in my head.

Everyone always says that if you love something, set it free and if it comes back, it’s yours, but what…

The state of Florida has been the first state to ever make all foster care privatized. While the foster care system in Florida is able to get many children adopted, many several of them also suffer from permanent health issues because of the broken…
