...generation that fought for rights of all. The baby boomers had children later in life, putting their career first. It is essential that the United States begins to prepare the nursing homes for the diverse part of the elderly. The baby boomers, in general, are a diverse group of individuals. The nursing homes will have to make room for this generation of elderly. The nursing home community is not prepared for the large number of gay and lesbians that will be aging and needing long term care. As the gay and lesbians age, this particular population of elderly will have many obstacles to overcome. First off the realization that there is a severe shortage of nursing homes that specialize in the care of the Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual,, and Transgender community. Not only will this particular diverse group need normal medical care and long term care, but in addition to this they will need the understanding, respect, and acceptance of their lifestyle. Coming from the aspect of lack of acceptance of this lifestyle, the elderly gay, lesbian,...

... LGBT stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender and along with heterosexual they describe people's sexual orientation or gender identity. These terms are explained in more detail here. Lesbian A lesbian woman is one who is romantically, sexually and/or emotionally attracted to women. Many lesbians prefer to be called lesbian rather than gay. Gay A gay man is one who is romantically, sexually and/or emotionally attracted to men. The word gay can be used to refer generally to lesbian, gay and bisexual people but many women prefer to be called lesbian. Most gay people don't like to be referred to as homosexual because of the negative historical associations with the word and because the word gay better reflects their identity. Bisexual A bisexual person is someone who is romantically, sexually and/or emotionally attracted to people of both sexes. Transgender or Trans Is an umbrella term used to describe people whose gender identity (internal feeling of being male, female or transgender) and/or gender expression, differs from that usually associated with their birth sex. Not everyone whose appearance or behaviour is gender-atypical will identify as a transgender person. Many transgender people live part-time or full-time in another gender. Transgender people can identify as transsexual, transvestite or another gender identity. Gender Identity One's gender identity refers to whether one feels male, female or transgender (regardless of one's biological sex). Gender...

...ETIKA PERBANDINGAN MPU2312 SEXUALITY MS. NORIAH Krishna Priyah Chee Long Kok Si Janice Ong Jonathan Chow Justin Bonus Phuah Kah Hock Wang Wei Shen INTRODUCTION In this report we will discuss about sexuality in general such as homosexuality. We will look further into the LGBT community between Asian and Western countries. Homosexuality has been a characteristic of human culture since the course of the 19th century. After the modern gay rights movement that began in 1969, in America, more people around the world started to change their mindset of seeing gay rights as “a mental illness to cure” to having more people trying to understand LGBT through biology, psychology, history and cultural variations of sexual practices and identity. We chose this topic because, gay rights has always been a sensitive topic for Malaysians today, this is mainly due to the fact that the government retains the colonial era penal code criminalizing sodomy and shaped by Islam, the official religion in Malaysia. In addition to the secular law, Muslim citizens may also be charged in special Islamic courts, the Syariah Court. In this report we will discuss the religious perspective of Asian and Western countries about homosexuality. We will go through the meaning of homosexuality in detail and ethical perspectives between Asian countries and western countries. Revealing statistical numbers on homosexuality problems and suggestions on how to be ethical when dealing with sexuality...

...When we are conceived it is decided for us physically whether we will be a boy or a girl. Most of us are born as we are and follow the trend of whichever gender was decided for you by genetics. We all have a gender identity, which is a private feeling of whether we are male or female. Two theories as used to explain this. The most influential theory is that our gender is the result of environmental influences. Specifically the way we are raised and treated when we are children by our parents and peers. According to Dr. John Money we are psychosexually neutral at the time of our birth. Only after we have been exposed to the nurture we are exposed to as children does gender set in. The second theory, which seems to be less popular, is that gender is a result of nature or the effect of hormones on the developing brain. When we are born, we are born with either a penis or a vagina. However, long before the child is actually born a process takes place that actually determines whether the child will have male genitalia (a penis) or female genitalia (a vagina). If the child is exposed to a hormone called dihydrotestosterone then male genitalia will be developed. If dihydrotestosterone is not present then female genitalia will develop. In early stages of development male and female genitalia are visually exactly the same. Around 7-8 weeks intrauterine the male organs begin to extend themselves beginning to form looking more like a penis whereas the female genitalia stays relatively...

Paper organization and Final editing | Abstract In the past decades, same-sex marriage is not generally acceptable to most people. People are more conservative about the issue. However, recently people have become more open-minded. Therefore, in the study, the authors want to know the change about younger generation’s opinion toward same-sex marriage. The authors want to know whether the younger generation is more acceptable about same-sex marriage. The authors focus only college students in the study. Thus, to find out the attitude of younger generation, the authors have designed a series of study. The authors expected to interview 15 college students with 30 designed open-ended questions about same-sex marriage. The question can be divided into three parts which are “How would people react if others are gay”, “How would people react if he/she is gay” and “What people's opinion about same-sex marriage”. The authors then classified the answers of the interview, analyzing the answer and drawing a conclusion about what the authors had found in the end. Keywords: Same-sex marriage; Open-minded; Younger generation 1. Introduction Nowadays, attitudes toward homosexuality have shown marked liberalization, and attitudes...

...Same Sex Marriage and Religion In the 21st century, the controversial debates about the LGBT (Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender) community and their rights are becoming more and more common in the media. Over millennia, same sex relationships have transformed from a socially accepted way of living in ancient times, to a social taboo with the birth of Christianity, and finally into a widely accepted way of living in the 21st century. Most sources of media, especially television shows have embraced this evolution and have become supporters of the LGBT community, these shows include some of the most popular series around the world such as Glee, Pretty Little Liars, Doctor Who, Grey’s Anatomy, and many more. Furthermore, many influential people are part of or advocates for the LGBT community. For instance, Madonna, Janet Jackson, Christina Aguilera, Ellen DeGeneres and many more. Today I will talk about the history of LGBT rights and evaluate the supporting arguments and opposing arguments of this topic in today’s society by assessing a host of different media sources, including newspaper articles, magazine articles, and documentaries. First of all, I will present the history of LGBT rights and assess to what extent society has changed its views and ideas on this subject. The first evidence found on same sex couples were found in Egyptian hieroglyphics and old Mesopotamian records which demonstrated same sex relationships were accepted in their community. (Eskridge) Although this...

...between two | |Vietnamese women held in Vietnam in 2010 |Vietnamese men held in Canada in 2007 | According to the American Psychological Association, the largest association of psychologists in the world, homosexuality is an enduring emotional, romantic and sexual attraction among people of the same gender. Homosexual is the general term referring to a person with homosexuality, however, usually used for a man sexually attracted to people of the same sex when lesbian is the term for a woman whose sexual orientation is expressed only towards women. Homosexuality, according to psychologists, psychiatrists and other mental health professionals, does not cause any illness, mental disorder or emotional problems. It has also been proved not to attach with mental disorders or emotional or social problems. In Vietnam, nowadays, homosexuality is no longer a rare phenomenon. However, it is not easy to notice homosexual people in Vietnam since most of them are trying to hide their homosexual orientation for fear of being discriminated. Many Vietnamese people have believed that homosexuality is no less than a disease. In their opinion, those with sexual feelings towards people of the same sex are abnormal, weird and degenerate. Some people even consider homosexuality as a social evil. The following contents will deal with four main parts to clarify if all those things are...
