In this paper I am going to talk about the history of the gay rights movement, personal coming out stories from friends and the bullying…

My friend also talked about seeing people in older generations who were not necessarily religious, but still conservative label homosexuals as deviant and unnatural. He thinks a lot of that comes from their generations having less…
