Turn Poverty into Equality In Peter Singer’s argument against poverty, he argues that more fortunate people should donate any money not needed for necessities, to countries encountering extreme poverty. The effects of this method could go either way when applied. However, the good that the can come out of this solution outweigh the possible negative effects, especially since one billion children are living in poverty, which is one in every two children (Global Issues). Imagine the news…

they decided to be gay doesn’t give us the right to treat them different. We should have a respect…

I grew up in a Caribbean, conservative, Christian, ‘no nonsense’ household, where being Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, or Transgender (LGBT) was not only frowned upon, but unthinkable. This led to my intolerable attitude towards members of the LGBT community growing up, and a great deal of hateful speech during my years in middle school and part of high school. This changed when a friend in high school told me he was gay. I was shocked, and truthfully, I did not know what to do. At first, I did what…

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…

cisgender people’ for the transphobia that they face in everyday life simply for being transgender. Similarly, ‘heterophobia’ has been used a propaganda slur by homophobes, who level the charge at any homosexual individual who stands up for their rights, justifying it often with sentiments such as “there is a gay pride, but no straight pride.” The fact of the matter is, disgust with homosexuality and the idea that it is unnatural, or unhealthy, or can somehow be ‘cured’ is in no way mimicked in…

The movies La Mission and The Wedding Banquet shows fear of queer contamination and also cultural genocide. There is a cultural difference between different countries in different parts of the world. These movies compare the cultural differences between Asian and Latino with Western culture. These movies not only show cultural differences but also show family tradition and problem with homosexuality with the non-westerners. The fear of not being able to continue family lines because the only son…

Chapter 3 was interesting and its starting to give me a better understanding of sexual orientation. Sexual orientation is how you identify yourself, sexual behavior and attraction. There are many different categories that people identify themselves as. Everyone knows the fundamental groups, heterosexual, gay, and bisexual; their plenty more that I personally wasn't aware of until this week. Asexual is someone who doesn't desire sex, and pansexuals are attracted to everything and don't categorize…

discussed. One important cultural climate today is the acceptance LGBTQ community. I suppose acceptance may not be the correct term to use as there is still several areas of inequality in comparison with heterosexual couples but we are moving in the right direction in comparison with past history of homosexuality. The LGBTQ community is every thriving while some states are more progressive with the times, especially in areas employment and health care laws. People in the LGBTQ communities no…

educated on, nor do they fight for problems that gay POC face. Allan then goes onto give examples of gay whitewashing that he has experienced. The main problem is that gay POC are not included because they bring up other issues that are not solely gay right issues. The second part of the reading consisted of Allan…

What is bisexuality? The answer varies depending upon who is asking the question. Is bisexuality defined by identity, behavior, attractions or some combination of these? Where does bisexuality begin and end? Human sexuality is sometimes seen as a continuum, with same-sex attractions on one end and other-sex attractions on the other. Bisexuality, then, must fall somewhere in the middle. But where? Does bisexuality refer only to the middle point, or 50/50 attraction? There are many common…
