Gay

Recently my two classmates have shared their opinions on two speeches titled Gay marriage in America and Georgia tech freshman convocation speech. My first classmate has given preference to the second speech. It seems that he is more inclined to Shelby as a person with charisma who is capable to attract attention but not to the content of his speech. Thus, Shelby, as a college student (ethos), tells very emotionally about the major things which every student of his college must know. He actively…

Silverstein, in the 1970’s several states formed gay counseling centers in the attempt to provide alternative treatment from the traditional bizarre methods used over the decades of “treating” conversion. These centers were staffed by peer counselors and medical professionals. The mission of these clinics…

Being gay used to be a very big taboo across many, if not all, cultures. My paper specifically will discuss the connection between religion and people’s thoughts and feelings on homosexuals/being homosexual. Religion has a huge impact on people’s thoughts about being homosexual which also affects the willingness of a culture to accept homosexuality, and many times it also has a deep effect on people who identify as gay. While being gay has stopped being a taboo in recent times in many places,…

Is gay marriage wrong? A vast majority have encountered the debate on more than a single occasion -- even more so over the past recent decades. Consequently, most people feel quite strongly one way or the other, the small exception being what Ed Stetzer, the president of LifeWay Research, referred to as the ‘mushy middle’ -- people who may hold some religious belief or another, but overall are not active in the church community, and therefore their opinions can be easily swayed in either…

Another great example is Caitlyn Jenner, she is a transgender women who likes women. Before her coming out there was a significant lack of communication about transgender individuals. I would like to see more of an openness and acceptability to gay men. I feel out of all the LGBTQ they are the least represented positively. I have seen a lot of coverage for transgender individuals, lesbians, and…

Gay Marriage and Gay Marriage Services The Supreme Court ruling is being followed but on the edges of that ruling are loopholes being jumped through. Gay marriages are now legal, but the service providers for their weddings are now denying them their specific service. That comes from baking the cakes to photography for the weddings. These are all essential for a wedding in this day and age. Should this behavior continue to be allowed? “Marriage is almost as old as dirt, and it was defined…

Is being gay a choice? “Sergio Urrego, 16, took his own life last month after Catholic school administrators harassed the teenager by making his relationship with another young man public and accused him of sexual harassment.”() It is the many situations like this that make one wonder why someone would choose this lifestyle. But the fact of the matter is that it isn’t a choice at all. Although many people think that being gay is a personal decision, being gay is not a choice. It is an…

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…

Before Stonewall is a documentary about the gay community prior to the Stonewall Riots in New York City in 1969. Through historical events and interviews from people from each decade, the secrecy, prejudice, and even comradery within the gay community was addressed throughout the film. The documentary begins with talk of speakeasies during prohibition in the 1920s. People would sometimes have speakeasies in their basements, which often served as a gathering place for secret homosexuals to…

against gay marriage, I would say I am biased. Im more against it than for it but in the world we live in it isn't surprising that this law has been granted. On June 26, 2015 the supreme court passed a law for gay marriage. This allows the same sex to get married. When this law was passed many people rejoiced in happiness while others were infuriated and upset. I personally was nonchalant to the whole situation. Im not quite a judgemental person so I wasn't affected by it. I believe that gay…
