Did you know that same sex couples don't get the same benefits as different sex couples (same sex couples should have access to the same benefits enjoyed by all hetero sexual married couples). There are ll38 benefits, rights and protections available to married couples in federal law alone,according to a general accounting office assessment (same sex couples should have access to the same benefits enjoed by all hetero sexual marnied couples). The reason that they don't have these rights is because same people's religious beliefs and political view are biased toward gays (Raimondo). The point is that people in the lgbtq should have the rights that they deserve.
Even though these people don't have these rights there are many organizations that will fight for them. The National Gay and Lesbian Task Force other known as NGLTF is an organization that provides contact and information for states and local legislative issues.

Two consenting homosexual adults are illegal in some states. However, the government has taken the human rights cause and turned it into a political allegiance on clan loyalties instead of philosophical principles. Today gay rights’ activists see the government as an agency not an enemy (Raimondo). ll people should support the LGBTQ because everyone deserves gender equally. Educating yourself about using appropriate behavior and terms is very important to the LGBTQ we also need to be in contact with the local law legislative and parents need to support transgender policy in schools and make sure that schools are protecting them (Berg).Be physically present for them, Donate to LGBTQ organizations,Get involved in pta meetings,Recognize that queer people and Contact your local lawmakers

    We refer to basic human rights like the freedom of speech and association, liberty, and equal treatment in court as civil rights, because they are fundamental rights that each and every citizen should not be denied on the basis of their sex, race, or religious belief. In the last one-hundred years we, as a human population, have seen many acts of discrimination against our civil rights on a large scale. In Kathryn Stockett’s novel, “The Help” one of those times were brought into light, the African-American Civil Rights Movement. Many say that members of the Lesbian, Gay, Transgendered, and Bisexual (LGBT) community today experience similar discrimination to the black experience of Southern U.S in the 1960’s because of the fight for civil rights, the fact that members are shunned by their area, and how people actively work against the cause that they try to establish.…

    In his article, From Identity to Politics, Craig Rimmerman analyzes gay rights movements in the United States in order to discover whether it is feasible to connect identity concerns with a liberal coalition for social, political and sex inequalities. Progressive democracy has provided some lesbian and gay rights; however, they are limited. Gay rights continue to be the focus of political efforts to promote social change through lesbian and gay movements in the United States. Rimmerman also focuses on the different ways gays and lesbians brought the AIDS epidemic to attention.…

    Throughout history women and people of the gay, lesbian, and transgender community have faced many acts of inequality. Women have experienced inequality in many aspects such as jobs, voter rights, public offices, and other areas simply because of the fact that they are women. People of the GLBT community have faced these inequalities in jobs, society, public offices, and other areas as well because of their sexual preference. Both women and members of the GLBT have emerged to see these inequalities being overcome throughout the last century.…

    There is growing attention to the issue of marriage equality for gay people in this country. As of the writing of this paper, 16 of the 50 states in the United States of America have legalized gay marriage, either by legislation or by popular vote (Wisniewski, 2013). The discourse regarding the issue becomes quite contentious largely because of non-secular ideology that has demonized the concept of homosexuality for many years. As a sociological issue, the conflict has become a divisive force for many, from political powers as far down to the family level. The constitution guarantees equal rights for all in this country; freedom of religion, speech, etc. yet appears to stall when equal rights for the gay community are involved. There has been significantly more popular support for the cause recently, but the stigma and prejudice continue to linger. Is this a moral debate or has an outdated ideology become so embraced by many that the battle has only just begun?…

    In the United States marriage laws are not supposed to discriminate, yet many people believe that marriages are clear religious and official vows, between a man and woman, which include the ultimate expression of love. The traditional belief does not claim a specific sexual orientation for homosexuals in this country who are Americans, and have the right to marry. This essay identifies specifically to the question; “Should homosexuals be able to marry.” Some people say “yes” and some say “no. Therefore, an evaluation of the marriage laws for the United State that allows homosexuals marriages, and the fact that the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and Constitution claim that homosexuals are equal, and have the same rights and limits as heterosexuals.…

    Imagine feeling like every time you do something, people stare at you and judge your lifestyle. This is exactly how most people in the LGBT community feel on a daily basis. The LGBT community can not do a great deal of things without being stared at and judged by others. Most United States citizens make it their sole duty to make sure that the LGBT community know that. Instead of voicing their homophobia, United States citizens must learn to accept people so that the LGBT youth do not feel distressed or depressed.…

    ? As a culturally grounded social worker, I know there are major obstacles to equality that LGBT Americans still face. For instance, there are no laws to protect queer from being bully. Plus, individuals could still become fire, merely for being who they are; gay or lesbian. Moreover, sexual orientation and gender identity still aren't protected under the hate crime statutes of more than 20 states. Also, same-sex parents struggle for the custody rights that heterosexuals are automatically granted and the list goes on. There is yet, much injustice, discrimination against L.G.B.T.B community and my job as a social worker is to fight the injustice and discrimination.…

    Currently in the United States same sex marriage is illegal in thirty-eight of the fifty states by either the U.S. Constitution or by the states own laws. The laws stipulate that no two same sex people can enter into marriage legally. The Defense of Marriage Acts (DOMA) states that marriage is between one man and one woman, but that gay marriage will further weaken the institution is the opinion of those who oppose the idea. In Texas the state has banned both domestic partnership and civil unions by U.S. Constitution and state law.…

    Gay marriage has been the cause of intense debate in the United States for years. Sexual activity within the same gender was something that was considered normal in Greek and Roman times but in today’s society, there is a great amount of controversy concerning sexual activity between homosexuals and same-sex marriage. A couple of reasons why gay marriage has become so controversial is because of religion, the issue of procreation, and the concern for children who are raised in same sex house-holds. Although there are a great deal of people who find gay marriage to be considered a negative idea, there is also a significant amount of people who are for gay marriage and would like gay marriage to be legal in the United States. According to The Associated Press 3/27/13, a “Pew Research Center poll” that took place in March shows that the number of people in America who approve gay marriage are up to forty-nine percent and there is forty-four percent of people who do not approve (par.6). These percentages show that both sides of opinion come close in number and when there is a great amount of differences in opinion on one given subject, conflict will certainly arise.…

    Gay rights have come a long way in the last century but there is still so much more road to cover. “The number of lesbian, gay, and bisexual persons in the U.S. is subjective. Studies pointing to the statistics are estimates at best. The most widely accepted statistic is that 1 in every 10 individuals is lesbian, gay or bisexual (Johnson). That would mean that 1 in every 10 people you meet is part of the Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transvestite community. 1 in every 10 people has faced some sort of discrimination for being who they were born to be. Some say being gay is a choice and that people…

    Representation can easily help LGBTQ+ persons of all ages—especially children—to form their identity. “[m]edia is a tool for interpreting our reality, but when our reality is absent from the media, we feel our role has been written out. We may feel ignored, rejected, or erased.” No one can dream from scratch, and when you have no role models, when you do not see yourself in everyday media, you can’t believe you belong. In other words, “[y]ou [cannot] be what you [cannot]…
