My Son Wear Dresses Summary And Analysis
1) After reading “My Son Wear Dresses,” it called my attention that even though the father was raised straight, he was ok having his child wearing dresses, painting his nails, etc. I personally would have a hard time supplying stuff for my kids to become another gender than what it says on their birth certificate. I would not reject my kids if they choose to do so, but I would not give my full support due to my religion beliefs. I was thought that male and female God created us, and by providing my full support, it would mean to deny my faith. However, one thing that I do agree with this father is that people should not see gay people less than the regular population; we are nobody to put people down or call them names. I believe that only God has the right to do that.

2) If I was the leader of a

Those people who commit those types of crimes are people who have not received love and the only thing they have in their heart is hate against those who are different than them. Even though there have been some transgender murders, I do not think we are in a spot to call it a “national crisis”. After looking at the statistics posted on this article, there are more murders related to ethnicity than transgender murders and it has not been called a “national crisis.” 10) After watching the video clip of Dale Hansen, I would say that there is one thing that I agree with him, and that is that if a football player is doing a great job, it is not fair that the player loses his position for being gay. I think that if he does not harass the other football players while changing in the locker rooms, there is no need for that player to be removed from his position. I would not celebrate the football player coming out of the closet, but I would not support those who want him to lose his position for being

    Sara Yoest Pederson wrote an article titled “The Family of a Different Feather”. The article deals with the touchy issue of same-sex parents and how to explain that some children have two moms or two dads instead of one of each. Children are curious about things like this but their curiosity does not always last very long. Sara Pederson used a well written children’s book to explain this to her child and suggests that parents do the same. Pederson goes on to say in the article that our society has judged some children’s books as “most challenged and inappropriate material for its age group”. Some of this is based on the “forbidden” same-sex parenting.…

    In this essay the author, Becky Birtha discusses the struggles and hard ships that many gay couples face when they try to adopt children. The big question discussed in this essay was, should same-sex couples have the same right as heterosexual couples when it comes to adopting children. Throughout the essay Birtha points out key facts that disrupt the thought that same-sex couple’s children are more likely to turn out homosexual themselves. She dishevels this by pointing out a study done that shows children of a heterosexual couple is more aggressive and negative when compared to those of a homosexual couple. She ends the essay by pointing out that there are roughly 134,000 children in foster-care in the United States waiting to be adopted. On her final note she applauds the AAP for recognizing that children should grow up with parents that can love and care for them regardless of their sexual orientation.…

    experienced a substantial cultural progress and that even if some discrimination remains, it will inevitably decline since popular culture will no longer demonize transgender people. However, after watching John Oliver's show, I researched other sources and saw that even cultural hostility against transgender people has not disappeared and is still being promoted by some school administrations and governments of some states what also correlated with an increased number of hate crimes against such persons, specifically murders (Strangio). In such a way, Oliver's remarks were also instrumental in undermining my belief that the last decades were a period of progress and improved cultural acceptance for such vulnerable minorities as transgender…

    Due to my religious background, I believe that homosexuality is a sin and is unacceptable. Children raised by homosexuals are taught that it is an acceptable way of life. The Bible teaches that homosexuals cannot enter into Heaven because of the choices they have made. It is sad that children raised in homosexual families will never be taught the scriptures because of their parents’ disbelief. Therefore, I think homosexuals should not have the opportunity to adopt and raise innocent children. Although I disagree with homosexuality, I know I will have to refrain from voicing my opinion in the…

    Next, I agree that sexual orientation is something an individual is most likely born with. I disagree that sexual orientation can be chosen, but it may be possible that it is learned. For example, because children learn from imitation, this may be possible if there is a model of homoseuality in the child’s life. In my opinion, I don’t think sexual orientation can be chosen because some homosexuals may get bullied by peers or even family members. There are most likely other obstacles that may come with an individual’s sexual orientation as well. With that being said, I don’t think a person would chose to be gay if they would be…

    I must say I am impressed with your initiative on this subject. Letting your son be around a homosexual friend would be a big NONO! I mean, let’s be logical here, that would put your son at risk on so many different levels! For starters, everyone knows homosexuals are unnatural! America always rejects unnatural things, sort of like interracial marriage. Seeing a black man with a white woman is absurd.…

    As human beings we are all entitled to our rights to have a family. Society’s image of a perfect heterosexual family is just a stereotype. Nowadays kids today do not live with two married parents. The sexual identity of a child with gay parents develops the same way with heterosexual parents. Most gay or lesbian children are born into a heterosexual family. Children are more impacted by the communication with their parents rather than the sexual identity of their parents. Even living in a homosexual household children adapt quite well with their peers. Growing up with two homosexual parents the child tend to believe in equal rights and is sympathy towards differences. Gay parents are not accidental parents so they are much more devoted and inclined versus heterosexual parents who became accidental parents. ”It has be stated that children can be successfully raised by same-sex couple with no adverse effects that would not have been present if raised by parents of the opposite sex.” (LGBT Adoption Statistics) Traditionally family beliefs are not adequate proof for…

    Our gender roles have much to do with how our cultures believe they need to be. Often times we behave the way we are told to or how society expects us to. Parents are responsible for nurturing their children to be the gender they were born with. They do this by the toys they buy for their children, the clothes they dress them in and the way they teach them to act. (Rathus et al., 2011, pg. 168). This however does not guarantee that the child will relate to the gender they were born with. It is a scientific fact that homosexuals are not raised, they are born. Parents teach them how they want them to act, but they will not sexually relate to their gender.…

    The next point is that, “children raised by homosexual or lesbian parents are as likely as children raised by heterosexual parents to be healthy, successful, and well-adjusted.” This means that no matter what sexual orientation the parents are, the child is not going to become a failure in life. They are still going to go to school, graduate, and become something in life. Just because the parents didn’t graduate doesn’t mean the child won’t graduate. Just because the parent didn’t become something in life doesn’t mean the child…

    Religious values should never prod a parent to disown their child for being who they want to be. Works like the Bible are taken too literally or out of context. Nowhere in the New Testament of the Bible does it say to punish your child for choosing their pronouns or getting a sex change. Close followers of a religion do not have to give up their belief or disown their child due to gender, because no religion clearly states to do so. People who value religion enough to reject or abuse their child should do research before letting words be put into their mouth and making a terrible mistake. This leads into the wisdoms of earlier generations and how it affects the new…

    At first Glance, It may seem that the way Americans view homosexuality is changing and that we have enough resources to assist the population. It may also seem that a parent wouldn’t neglect or abandon their child due to the love that they have toward another person. The truth is that there are not nearly enough changes being made or nearly enough resources to aid the LGBT community and our children. The goal of my research is to bring awareness to this issue so that we provide more resources and are there to support our youth. Gaps in research and solutions are that many shelters and resources discriminate against gays leaving them to fend for themselves. Members of the LGBT community are extremely discriminated against by society, media, certain religious groups/figures and family. Many of these youths are…
