Nowadays, most of the people see homosexuality as unnatural, a mental illness, or even a serious sin. However, if we trace back to the period of the ancient Greece, ancient Rome and ancient China, the people at that time had a wider acceptance of homosexuality, and it was every common and popular practice in that society. In this article, I will first state the histories and cultural background of the ancient Greece, ancient Rome and ancient China. Then, I will analyze the Chinese and Western…

create it for real, for all of us,” (Harveys campaign manager). In 1977, Harvey Milk was the first openly gay elected official on the San Francisco Board of Supervisors. Harvey Milk became an inspiration for gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgenders by showing that if he can make it big with being openly gay, anyone else could too. In the 1970s, before Harvey was elected into the board, gays and lezbians were still trying to fight for equality. Many people who were homosexual were valued to be…

Harvey Milk was a visionary and fearless gay rights’ activist and a Supervisor in San Francisco Board of Supervisors. Although his leadership was short-lived as a fellow supervisor and long-time opponent, Dan White, assassinated him his legacy remains as the prominent Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgendered (LGBT). At that time, the community was entirely homophobic and standing staunchly to the fight against discrimination of the gay community. Harvey Milk was born on May 1930 in Woodmere, New…

Personal Taste and Sungkyunkwan Scandal both portray gay men on a range – one that is questioning his orientation and one that is pretending to be gay, although the last scenario would hardly take place in a conservative society. Plenty of papers and theories have been written about the gay culture in western media but the conservative view on homosexuality in South Korea indicates that very less has been written about the issue academically and if they are written so, they happen to be written…

This seminal conflict eventually led to increased social acceptance and legal rights for this community and by 2015, gay marriage became legal in all 50 states through these uncompromising…

LGBT discrimination in schools is very important in today’s society. Many parents send their child (children) to school for a learning education, not to be mistreated and abused. Some people may argue that discrimination is not only in the classrooms but within the sports at school. Some may even argue that it’s not right for the opposite sex to participate in activities. I feel as though as long as they’re treated fairly, I don’t see where the problem lies. Activities like football and…

These individuals were the spark that created the larger queer rights movement. LGBT+ individuals began forming groups such as the Gay Liberation Front, in an attempt to fight back against their oppressors. The Gay Liberation Front in particular was formed to combat heteronormativity as well as racism, and worked closely with the Black Panther party to enact change. Gay pride marches also began to form as a memorial of the riots, and continue to this day. The marches are a celebration of the…

married or at least had the preconceived notion that we would at some point end up married. Halberstein goes on to tell us exactly why that notion of marriage should be challenged. If you remember the chapter from Halbersteins book Gaga Feminism about gay marriage and his utter distain for it then you’ll remember the idea of rejecting not only the normal but pop culture as well. Halberstein goes on to explain how marriage is a repressive system that actually is a waste of time to fight for when…

the same. Same sex marriage has been tested to be a morally right decision due to the brains formation. Kasak concludes, “Sessions will feature the latest scientific research into same-sex couples’ relationships and family formation among lesbian, gay and bisexual people, as well as the effect of sexual stigma on individuals and families.” Scientific studies have shown that the choice to be attracted to the same sex is just the same as “normal” attraction. Attraction comes in many different…

Thirty-nine percent of gay, lesbian, and bisexual students, along with fifty-five percent of transgender students, reported having been commonly pushed around in public places, such as hallways, trans youth being about one-third more likely to suffer the bulk of physical harassment on account of their expression than gay, bisexual, and lesbian students due to their sexual orientation.
