the fact that a heterosexual couple does not have the ability to love a child more any more than a homosexual couple. The author of the second article would also advocate that the homophobia needs to stop in the United States. It is unfair to keep gays and lesbians off of television, and it is unfair to act like they don’t exist. The author Nico Lang makes you question how much of the homophobia is still around in the United States. I never realized it was as big of a problem as it still is.…

Whether it is bisexuals and trans* individuals on one side, with gay men and lesbians - both monosexual identities - on the other, or with bisexuals paired with gay men and lesbians as a cohesive group of deviant sexualities against heterosexism, or with bisexuals grouped with all of the other identities that ‘love men’ against lesbians, or with bisexuals against…

unsecure, unsafe, being bullied, and not feeling welcome. The GEC knew they had to do something to change this so they gathered, all of its groups, Queer Inclusion Club, The LGBTQ of OU, Mosaic, and Sexperts, together they created a list of issues with gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender students on campus. That developed into a 20-page document that incorporated concerns with public bathrooms and exercise facilities, inclusive healthcare, equal opportunity, academics, and safe places for…

memory of learning what it means to be gay was when I was in grade school. I would hear the word being said from my friends and other peers in my classroom. I went to a catholic school my whole life, so the word gay was never taught in the classroom by the teachers. My friends and I would talk about the word during lunch and recess. My family never talked about the LGBTQ because it was against what my family believes in. When I was younger, I would hear the word gay a lot on the television. I…

The most effective way to reduce the risk of suicide for homosexuals is public policies and campaigns to improve the family context for lesbian, gay, bi and trans (lgbt) kids. Furthermore, there should be laws that don 't allow how businesses, churches and government institutions treat and discriminate against lgbt people. Moreover, those rejected by their families are eight times more likely to commit suicide. “When a teen comes out, the same expression of love and support is called for, Wagner…

Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer (LGBTQ) college students are often faced with some form of sexual prejudice, sexual harassment and/or discrimination (Rankin, 2005). Name calling, verbal harassment, ridicule, and rejection are stressors that can increase risk for depression, anxiety, substance abuse, and even suicide (Zubernis & Snyder, 2007). Sexual minorities have a tendency to fear expressing how they might feel because they have to worry about their sexual orientation or…

Introduction In 2015, the U.S. Supreme Court legalized same-sex marriage, following decades of sociopolitical mobilization by members of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) community and their allies. However, members of the LGBT community have criticized the narrow focus on marriage equality, arguing it sidesteps other urgent community issues like racism, class conflicts, transphobia, youth homelessness, and others (Spade and Willse 2013; Duggan 2012a; Warner 1999).

alternative parenting lifestyle. Some studies agree, some disagree that these children are more likely to be bullied. To identify children experiences of bullying, the authors analyze data from previous research, interviews and documentaries in which gay parents report the incidents of homophobia. The data was analyzed using discursive psychology methods with the focus of not only finding out whether the children experience bullying, but how this issue is discussed. This journal has very…

Using humor, Sedgwick seeks to explain society’s avoidance of seeing gay tendencies in writing and how it affects the reading of a text. When studying a text through a gay lense questions are asked as if the author was gay.

The ideas that readers tend to create of the writers often…
