Brown-Saracino (2015) argues in “How Places Shape Identity” that the current conception of how place shapes identities, i.e. through region, location, and institution, does not aptly describe how identities vary in places that are similarly situated. Instead, she asserts that there are three loosely grouped sets of place elements that affect how identity is shaped by place: numbers and acceptance, place narratives, and encounters with socioscape. Brown-Saracino (2015) refers to numbers and…
heterosexual couples. Legal defacto relationships are heterosexual or homosexual relationships that do not have to be for life as it is in marriage, however, defacto relationships have the same legal rights as marriage.

It is important to look at marriage and the pure relationship to discover if they…

The role that religion plays cannot be ignored when discussing immigration as it influences many aspects of the whole process of it. Religion can create social tensions and antagonism between the foreigners and the natives that could lead to a more difficult assimilation of the immigrants in the countries. Recently, there has been an increase in the amount of research being conducted regarding the transformation of religious groups and how such molding could be derived from immigration. These…
the ages, the issue related to sex has always been seen as something forbidden, dirty, shameful etc. But if at first but it was not so because since the creation can be seen that this was what God created not only for the reproduction of man, but also leave it for the enjoyment of both men and women. It was not until sin entered the world when sex was degraded in such a way that the purpose for which God created was put it in second place. Today it is seen that sex has been degraded so that even…
Massachusetts House of Representatives voted 116-36 to pass a bill that replaces the term "biological sex" with "gender identity." The lawmakers also dismissed an amendment that could ban convicted sex offenders from using bathrooms for opposite sex. "This is a historic day for Massachusetts. The wave of legislative activity #TransBillMA has seen in the last two months is the culmination of a decade-long fight to fully protect transgender people from discrimination in the Bay State," a…
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.

It's not about who you love, but if you…

Tax-payers shouldn’t be giving same sex marriage couples money out of their pockets. It’s just not fair, when you could be paying for kids education, but instead you are paying taxes on something that you don’t think is right. The tax payers are mostly middle class…
liberty without due process of law. In Obergefell v. Hodges, it was recognized that the ban on same-sex marriage violated the liberty of same-sex couples; marriage was limited strictly to opposite-sex couple. In the same way, the transgender ban in the military violates the liberty of transgender individuals. Military entry is limited to those whose biological sex and gender identification are the same. I feel that the transgender ban is a clear violation of liberty element of the Due Process…
