Frank Paiva, the author of “A Prince Charming for the Prom (Not Ever after, Though)” describes his experience as the gay prom date for his female friends. Paiva successfully explains the adversity that LGBT youth in a heteronormative society face. Through the use of various rhetorical strategies such as the Aristotelian Appeals and informal diction, he highlights the fact that society is not ready to accept LGBT people and those that differ from society’s expectations. Paiva establishes his…

Throughout musical history, many artists or composers have brought along controversy with their new pieces. Some controversies that these songs could bring up may be about politics surrounding the government, police brutality, sex, drugs and infringing copyrights. In 1987, George Michael released his first solo single for his debut album, “I Want Your Sex”, after leaving the duo Wham! at the age of 23. The duo was known for their upbeat and young music, but once George Michael separated, he took…

The controversy over the homosexual elements in a Disney movie – Beauty and the Beast – was furious last month. People who against the homosexuality blamed that it promotes the concept of homosexual love to kids, which is inappropriate in some people’s mind. We can see that the public treats Disney movies as an important socializing tool. They generally think that children can be easily influenced by the elements of the movies. It seems fascinating to understand how people correlate Disney…

evidence to support the argument, but there is no way that someone can be born gay. A study conducted in 1993 suggested that there was a possible gay gene. It also said that there was an alcoholism gene as well as a warrior gene. Genes cannot always control behavior, what genes can do, in some cases, is to create a tendency to develop or display certain traits or behavior. Being gay is not nature it is nurture.

Whether it be the dehumanization of gay people, the oppression of the sexually assaulted, or anything else, it all still exists in the present. The first topic brought up in the presentation is the horrible treatment of gay people in Gilead. This brutality was seen when Omar Mateen walked into the gay nightclub, Pulse, and proceeded to shoot and kill forty nine of its patrons because of their sexuality. This event alone, suggests that the actions taken against gay people in the book, still occur…

In a utopia, everyone would be gay (genuine) with the way they are and everyone would accept the differences of each other. Unfortunately, we do not live in a utopia and we live in an imperfect world, where not everyone accepts who they are. With today’s society telling people what is and is not acceptable, it is obvious why people seem lost. J.D. Salinger’s, The Catcher In The Rye, is a developing story written in Holden Caulfield, a protagonist, point of view. In the novel Holden emerges lost…

In our society, there are several incidents where some people believe it is not correct to be in a relationship. One of these, conflicts, interracial relationships, is still happening today. Nearly fifty years since the law was passed and even longer since the end of slavery, and there are still people, who believe such an idea to be disgusting or immoral when in reality, it does not affect society in any way. In 1967, the Supreme Court had decided state bans on interracial marriage were…
