of the Duck Commander company. During the interview, Phil said some comments that offended the gay community. “It seems like, to me, a vagina—as a man—would be more desirable than a man’s anus. That’s just me. I’m just thinking: There’s more there! She’s got more to offer. I mean, come on, dudes! You know what I’m saying? But hey, sin: It’s not logical, my man. It’s just not logical.” The Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) advocates didn't agree with his comments too much. The community

The ONE Inc. vs. Olesen case was a critical legal battle for gay rights leading up to 1969, highlighting the most explicit ways in which the LGBT community was censored, particularly by the US federal government. I highly recommend these excerpts, from both the federal and Supreme Court rulings, be included in our pre-Stonewall Riots compendium. ONE Inc. was the "first widely distributed publication for homosexuals in the United States," formed to “publish...a magazine dealing primarily with homosexuality

older members gravitate towards moving into living in gay districts. One rationale for this is because they are able to have a better support system. A difference between LGBTQ older adults and straight older adults is that they tend to have fewer children and as a result they often lack caregivers. Like the younger group of LGBTQ members older members also have the fear of being discriminated against especially in the healthcare settings. For the current older LGBTQ, they are an important unique

who are identified as Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, and Asexual and they have been discriminated against , faced violence and therefore they tend to deny or hide their sexual identity. Those individuals have difficulty coming out with their sexual identity and when they do they are often judged and discriminated against. They are seen as not “normal” in our society since the majority population of the world is heterosexual. When specifically looking at gay and lesbian people, they have

LGBTQ+ in the Workplace While the majority of the nation would say that the United States of America is largely accepting of all people, it is becoming increasingly obvious that the LGBTQ+ community still faces a constant struggle against bigotry, discrimination, and ignorance in our troubled nation today; the LGBTQ+ community deserves the freedom that has been given to us by the Preamble of the Declaration of Independence and the separation of Church and State given in the constitution. Many

According to my response from the "Social Justice Advocacy Readiness Questionnaire," I realize I lack much knowledge about the LGBT community. There is so much I do not know but with the training, and education, I will be ready to counsel sexual minorities. I grew up as a Christian, and the Bible says, that same sex marriages are a sin but I also feel like it should not matter if it is the same sex or not, if that person makes you happy, you should be able to marry, who am I to judge. As a counselor

means so much to you for no reason. Another part of the Vagina Monologue that made me think of a friend was when the girl was disgusted with her vagina!!!! She thought it was gross and she didn’t even want it… It reminded me of a girl I know who is gay, she hates her private part. She hates to acknowledge it and doesn’t even like to clean herself. She’s cried to me numerous times about it and I was speechless because I felt the vagina was a part of a woman’s body that should be embraced. (Quote)

it has opened my mind to many questions. One of them is, “how can the United States government help people like the Ethiopian government?” I do not agree at with what is happening in Ethiopia because not only am I offended about how the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community is treated and have to live in fear, but also I can connect to this article very strongly because I am bisexual. There are a lot of people who believe that non-heterosexual people are evil, demonic, or even

Discrimination. Lack of freedom. Belittled. These are the current situations that the LGBT community faces in the existing co-educational schools wherein they are enrolled. Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender youth should have the freedom to be open about their identity and ideas in schools and government facilities. Therefore, we strongly believe that there is a need to establish exclusive schools for the LGBT that will strive to protect their right to be safe and visible, and to have their
