Sexual trauma and early exposure to sexual activity is another argument in the quest to determine the roots to homosexuality. There are so many young girls today that start out with sexual activity at an early age; some as early as ten years old. Over time these young ladies are exposed to sexual activity such as oral sex, group sex, and same-sex gratification. They have allowed themselves to be misused by men, for lack of guidance, and find that blaming the men for their broken hearts is an…

homosexuality in society and media, reception to the notion has not always been positive. In the early 1990s more than 33 percent of gay men and lesbians had reported being victims of interpersonal violence, hate crimes, and discrimination due to their sexual orientations (Parrot, 2008). The media has taken on the challenge of combating widespread homophobia, and seeks to portray characters and lifestyles in which its audience/followers can equally identify with and feel comfortable being…

There is no doubt that racism, classism, and prejudice, amongst other injustices persist within our social structure, but we often tend to ignore the more prominent issue within the spectrum, which includes women’s rights. Whether it’s a matter of simple gender roles or excruciating violence with her domestic partner, women around the world continuously experience the hardships of being born a woman. Prior to enrolling in my Women Studies course, I would have never thought about half the issues…

Introduction Slavery has a long history from the ancient Egyptians and Romans to the period of slavery at the dawn of the United States. Ngwe and Elechi (2012) point out that slavery in ancient times, including slavery in the Americas until approximately 1880, was very different from what slavery or human trafficking is today.

the traditional gender roles expected of you gender. As was evidenced through his responses for the questions asked, my interviewee, David, very much agrees with the dominant heteronormative mentality. Although David claims to be supportive of all sexual orientations, he, too, is very much influenced by heteronormative ideals, as can be seen through his automatic need to find the “man” and “woman” within same-sex couples as well as the need to apply traditional masculine/feminine characteristics…

My topic addresses birth control and education. Birth control is widely practiced with couples to enjoy sexual intimacy without feeling the risk of disease and pregnancy. Additionally, birth control can prevent one from making an unfavorable decision later about abortion and adoption. There are different methods for birth control such as abstinence, medications, birth control sponges, IUD, sterilization, and condoms. Contraceptives are prescribed by doctors in clinics, hospitals, and in local…

The Gallae were people in ancient Greece, Rome, and Persia, who displayed some kind of gender or sexual variety. “ The ancient mythology was replete with stories of those we now call transgender people, which clearly indicates that transgender was something that was commonplace in those times”. The Gallae were known as the transgender people back in…

This community loosely represents people that identify with being lesbian, gay, bisexaul, transgender, as well as other sexual orientations. It is to be noted that most of the research done about the LGBT community is predominantly on those that identify as gay or lesbian, and that there is still a lot of research to be done on those that identify as Transgender or Bisexual in the LGBT Community. Those that identified as lesbian,…

human invention. The second article, “Who Needs Love” by Nicholas D. Kristof is based of marriage and love in Japan. Many of the marriage does not consist of love. Japanese marriage is often contemplated when two individuals have similar interests, sexual attraction is not the key factor. Japan has a high rate of divorce, but lower than the United States. Only 1.1% of women have children unwed because Japanese women often settle. Lastly, the third article, “The Hijras: An Alternative Gender in…
