Nelson Mandela’s perspective to ensure the approach of human’s privileges: “To deny people their human rights is to challenge their very humanity.” Our society enhances LGBTT’s as a different subpopulation whereas they should be treated just as equally to someone being straight, through history they fought to gain rights in the legislation.

When Therapy Contradicts itself Conversion therapy (also known as reparative therapy) used to “fix” people who identify as Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, or Transgender (LGBT). This is a cruel therapy that was called reparative therapy in the early 20th century because it was said to repair the indivual in order to fit the norms of society.

S01876686 UI317-01 I have what I consider to be a very sex positive way of looking at the world. I view sexual behavior as acceptable as long as it is between consenting adults. In conjunction with this idea, said sexual behavior must not harm or involve an unconsenting individual. That goes for women, men, and gender-nonconforming individuals, regardless of sexual orientation. However, I myself do not care too much about sexual attraction or sexual behaviors outside of an academic standpoint…

Television does not just reflect a cultural shift, but it is also utilized to shift the culture on LGBT issues. With the consideration that the average American spends approximately forty-one hours watching television, the representation of LGBT people on television potentially has a significant cultural impact. Vice president Joe Biden stated that he thinks Will and Grace did more…

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…

"That is so gay.” “You are such a faggot.” These are two phrases we hear fairly often in our everyday lives and do not really question the extremity of those words. Unless you have been living under a rock for the last few decades, you know the words “gay” and “faggot” are derogatory terms for people who are homosexual. Although they are hurtful, theses words are accepted as everyday vocabulary in America. Our society has become so immune to these words that we have forgotten what they mean and…

Students attending sexual education programs have had different life experiences, and are each coming from a different place both mentally and emotionally. Despite differences in sexual orientation, gender, or socioeconomic status, high school sexual education programs tend to generalize the program to all students, without addressing their individual needs. As a result, high-risk students fall through the cracks, without gaining necessary information that could not only improve, but save, their…

Throughout the book Angels in America, Tony Kushner uses the truth to portray how ignorance and innocence can worsen situations that are unwanted, while cognizance may not fully solve the problem, it may help this person come to a realization of what needs to happen, and ultimately end or move on from that current situation. In this quote about the truth, Prior specifically does not say that the truth always fucks you, he states that the truth “mostly” fucks you. The word “always” means, at all…
