When one pictures Orlando, the first thing that comes to mind is amusement parks, great weather, and perfect vacation getaways. This past weekend, however, shook the Sunshine state—and the nation—to its core as bloodshed overwhelmed the local community. On Friday afternoon, the 22-year-old singer who made her name on NBC’s “The Voice,” Christina Grimmie, posted a video to her Twitter and Facebook accounts jovially inviting her fans to watch her perform. Shortly after her performance, she…

Heterosexual Privilege Awareness, Prejudice, and Support of Gay Marriage among Diversity Course Students was written by Kim Case and Briana Stewart a journal of College teaching. I agree with the authors and believe the research was the perfect method for students to change their attitudes…

Even though gay marriage is legal throughout the entire country, it does not change the fact that discrimination in the LGBTQ community still happens everyday. People who discriminate against those in LGBTQ community should have harsher punishments put against them. To some people this may sound insane, that in 2016 gay people are still be looked down upon, but today I am here to show you some major examples of what goes on everyday right here in our country. Denial of service, suicide rates…

The article is written by Susie O’Brien that was published on The Advertiser on 20 November 2010 arguing the rights for gay marriage, targeting the age group of teens and onwards. When you ask anyone, they will all tell you they are in favour of equal rights for homosexuals. Then you get to gay marriage, and that is when all the talk about equality stops. O’Brien started off with a strong point saying she didn’t ever choose to be straight, it was never about choice and that is just who she is.…

In order to explore justice or fairness in this case it is helpful to imagine the therapist had one more session and was able to disclose her sexuality to the client. It is apparent from the case that she believed doing so was in the best interest of the patient. Doing so would have created interesting implications for future disclosures or nondisclosures. Choosing to disclose her sexuality to some clients and not others could be rationalized as clinically appropriate differential treatment,…

Since the time of World War II, San Francisco had become the home of a significant number of the gay community. Although gays and lesbianism were outlawed in San Francisco, the city had a long history of brave activists who championed for the end of homophobia in the region. Since the 1950s the Mattachine Society and Daughters of Bilitis were founded making the city to have a reference point in the homophobic movement (Witeck, 19). In the 1970s there was a massive increase in gay immigrants and…

Sexual Orientation and Inequality Out of all of the social problems in America, inequality based on sexual orientation has been one of the most talked about issues in quite a few years.

People still discriminate against people in the LGBTQ(XZ) people are a part of our country whether everyone likes it or…

The LGBT community has been suffering inequality for hundreds of years. Even though there was suffering, it inspired movements and projects to be created in order to bring attention to the unfair treatment against the community. Activists such as Cleve Jones create marks and take a step closer to equality. Just last year, gay marriage was made legal in all 50 states and there are many campaigns spreading AIDS awareness and contributing to fundraise for research. The LGBT community just wants to…

The film I chose to do for this film review assignment was Longtime Companion. The movie premiered in 1989 and during that time our society was just beginning to understand that AIDS was a disease and research was being done on how to treat this disease. In the early 1980’s and up until the release of the film, those that had been diagnosed with AIDS had a very poor prognosis for survival. Also when the movie was released, society was beginning to realize that AIDS not only affected the gay…
