Bisexuality

It was the start of puberty, and I know that for a fact because I had started cultivating my own brand of acne and I realized that I had my first big crush. On my classmate.

But she was never going to find out because the slippery slope in my mind assured me that even a peep of a confession would procure the inevitable end of all human morality.…

Sadly in today's society, there are silly stereotypes that surround homosexuals. Gay men are usually seen as weak and less masculine. Women who have muscular bodies and cut their hair short are perceived as lesbians. As a result of these stereotypes, most of the society thinks women who play sports are lesbians.

The Marrying Kind uses a controversial topic to explore a larger institution in America, one that has an effect on most everyone. Rauch uses the topic of same-sex marriage to further his points, but does not use it to overwhelm the overall idea he is introducing.

Nowadays, beer companies, like all other companies, are trying their best to get more attention and win more consumers. Most beer ads target their customers with fantasy, like the Dos Equis 2011’s ad…

One in five gay pupils will be physically attacked at school, as a result of their sexuality, according to The National Aids Trust’s recent article regarding Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender Plus harassment in schools. As a result, more and more pupils are choosing, or rather, being forced to take frequent breaks from school or dropping out altogether. This is evident to most young gay people as the students surveyed were extremely passionate about wanting to tame action and put an end to…

I know you are, but what am I? A person’s sexual orientation or who they are sexually attracted to is not necessarily obvious. There are gays who look straight, and straights who look gay and whom even knows what a bisexual should look like? Humans have a tendency to label and categorizes. Heterosexuals are sexually attracted to the opposite sex, Homosexuals to the same sex, and Bisexuals to both sexes. These are just a few of the terminologies used to describe sexual orientation. In these…
