They faced some of the largest problems and rejections of any women during this period. In 1953, President Dwight D. Eisenhower banned homosexuals from federal jobs. One lesbian woman named Cam Donahue joined the army. Soon she and a few of her friends had been turned in and given dishonorable discharges and a letter sent to their parents. When Cam’s father found out he told her that he didn’t want to see her unless she got…

a major organization consisted of all professions, that ranged from blue collar workers to white collar workers. Gays and lesbians also faced gender, race, and class discrimination. Within six months, two gay activist organizations were formed in New York, concentrating on confrontational tactics, and three newspapers were established to promote rights for gays and lesbians.(Stonewall Riots). The Stonewall riot lead to a domino effect of organized effects which eventually lead to the exception…

norms that would generate social condemnation. Individuals who usually violate mores may be considered wicked or bad and potentially harmful to society. I never thought I would engage in this kind of behavior but I did. I participated in my first lesbian experience. Experiencing…

Grey’s Anatomy is a medical-based drama centered around Meredith Grey, an aspiring surgeon and daughter of one of the best surgeons, Dr. Ellis Grey. Throughout the series, Meredith goes through professional and personal challenges along with other surgeons at Seattle Grace Hospital. For my final i chose the topics race, religion, social interaction and gender. In my first slide I chose race. In this video Maggie and Amelia are talking on the way to their car.

Nowadays Lesbian/Gay/Bisexual/Transgender (LGBT) adoption is legal in the U.S, but like many rights it hasn’t always been legal. It is more accepted now that people of the LGBT community should be able to expand their family in other ways since they can't conceive naturally. Unfortunately, there are plenty of kids to “go around” because there are a lot of kids in the foster system. It is not fair to dismiss the rights of people based on their sexuality. It's not about who you love, but if you…

Bathory’s personality did not encapsulate a hyper masculine ideology, she would not have effectively been able to carry out her perverse actions. In conclusion, I believe that the further we investigate the theory that Elizabeth Bathory may have been lesbian/bisexual the more her actions seem to manifest homoerotic tendencies. The fact that the notion of vampires as sexual entities did not reach a peak until the 19th century may strengthen this point,…

Marriage is very secrete between two people who love each other and should be respected as such. Marriage should not be limited to only a man (masculinity) and a woman (femininity) determined by a persons’ gender. Discrimination against gay marriage is the voice of ignorant thoughts about marriage. The LGBQ community has been being abused, harassed, and in many cases killed over being themselves for many decades. This life-threatening matter needs to be put to a stop. Throughout this section I…

(Kendall 434) This is a more appropriate definition in my opinion because families are much different in this day and age. Gay and lesbian families are more widely accepted and in some cases allowed to adopt, or they bear their own children. However in many parts of the U.S. gay or lesbian marriage is not recognized as legally binding. So even though a gay or lesbian couple can have children and live together as a couple it would not fit the 1948 definition of family. Furthermore, the living…
