In my high school there was a gay straight alliance group. It started out my senior year and didn’t last long from what I hear. I like the purpose of the groups. I love how they are to make LGBT kids feel safer at their school. The schools should provide the facilities and forum for these kinds of groups. These kinds of groups make the kids feel safer and the other kids more open to accepting them. In my high school more than half the kids were religious. We also didn’t have many open…

Although, I think this subculture of people is accepted I feel as though we are still repressed even if gay marriage is legalized and widely more excepted than it was 10 years ago. I think that as a gay community some people feel the need to attend LGBT events to feel accepted but I believe doing that only makes me feel like we are just separating ourselves from the rest of society, and I think some people could agree with that.

to even getting same sex marriage legal. That is something the United States Supreme court views as homosexual’s rights. The Supreme Court isn’t the only one who is making a change, some of the Christians are as well. In an article "Violence against LGBT People" some Christian churches welcome people who are attracted to same sex, but still teach that it is sinful. They even have conversion therapy that is harmful. It exploits guilt and anxiety, which damages one’s self esteem that induces…
