DJ Mc Screwdriver: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to WLGB, I am your swave, handsome, charming and otherwise great guy, DJ Mc Screwdriver. Today we are talking about the perception of homosexuals in modern times amongst American citizens. Here with me I have five experts, Dr. Durso, Dr. Berry, Dr. Beckhed and Dr. Tan and Dr. Mora, each who have interesting facts to contribute. So to start off, does religion affect sexuality in any way?

Durso: Well thanks for having us. To answer your question, it isn’t for homosexuals. Case closed.
Berry: It does, actually. The mindful connection of a gay man’s perfect image follows a similar construct to that of Buddhist views. “The mind, heart, and body, according to Kabat-Zinn and most Buddhist teachers, …show more content…

Puerto Ricans and Dominicans tend to come from more Religious families, often monotheistic such as Christian. Often times, homosexuals are seen as evil or twisted?

DJ Mc Screwdriver: So are gay men sick?
Berry: We should take into account there are no boundaries. Men willingly become objects of lust and that is completely normal.
Durso: Well, bisexuals and homosexuals need to be looked at differently. My study shows rates of nondisclosure of their sexual preference to be higher in bisexual males than homosexual men.
There has to be something that affects their self-image If they must hide who they are.
Beckhead: I have to say that some people are distressed by their sexuality and I have been working on a “therapeutic framework” in order to highlight their distress and help manage it.
There have been interventions done, both voluntarily and non-voluntarily to convert. Others underwent surgical surgery to remove the unwanted sex drive. Others use pills. Long story short, it depends on what you define as sick and twisted. I believe the only way for homosexuals to overcome their “fear of heterosexual intercourse is in ned with a woman.”

DJ Mc Screwdriver: Are LGBT born that way if you claim they can be

To understand the linkage between sexuality and gender, it is important to reimagine the relationship between sexuality and gender and the rapport they hold with self-identification. Not long ago, sexuality was tied to procreation - becoming the core of one’s identity. Gender had always been tied to biological sex. However, a crisis of gender identity emerged and blurred the gender and sexuality binaries that had become commonplace social facts. A fluidity was created that allowed individuals to not feel the pressure of fitting inside distinct identification categories.

Sexuality and gender are often confused in society. Women and men have biological differences; from these differences societal establishments are created within a community, culture, and or race. In the article “Dude, Where’s Your Face?”, Brandon Miller presents a study in which the social networking profiles of male homosexuals represent themselves and how they depict partner preferences. As a result, it brings up the discussion whether this population of people is trying to fit in with societal norms.

In the context of religion, their behavior is not considered atypical and their masculinity is preserved. However, “if the motivation is to satisfy a secret desire for homosexual activity then there would be a problem” (Burke, pg.151). Gender deviant activities are not sinful as long as it is heterosexual. Non-normative sex is an individual’s taste until the motive challenges heteronormativity. God detests homosexuality and people who are non-heterosexuals are excluded from having godly

Never would I have thought that would be the appropriate place to put such a question. Society is going through such a change where the ones that are gay or bisexual, aren’t accepted in society. Today, society is not ready for such a big change, which is the reason why people act the way they do towards the LGBT community. S. Alan Ray is a professor at Elmhurst College who wrote, “Despite the Controversy, We’re Glad We Asked.”

According to the Williams Institute (2009), there has been an increased need for high quality scientific data on sexual orientation of adults because it is an essential piece in understanding different health trends among populations. It is crucial that sexual orientation questions are asked appropriately to avoid discrimination and be culturally sensitive. Based on existing large-scale surveys research questions can be modified to be asked correctly. For example, surveys now provide three options for how one identifies their sexual orientation: heterosexual or straight, gay or lesbian, or

Both right-wing Catholics and Christians have deemed the LGBTQ community as dangerous and deviant to society. Judith Butler explains the religious use of anti-gender ideology, homophobia, transphobia, misogyny, and sexism in their justification of oppressing queer and trans people. Religion has been placed against the LGBTQ community in constraining their bodies, legal and social rights, and overall freedom to exist. Since religion plays a large role in societal and cultural norms and values, Latinxs perceive Catholicism as part of their cultural identity despite its rejection of the LGBTQ community. As a queer Mexican American, I often battled with accepting my sexuality while maintaining a relationship with God.

The 1920s were changing times and with people becoming more open about who they were, the idea of homosexuality began to become more widespread. However, that did not mean that homosexuality was in any way accepted by society. Doctors and psychologists believed that there was something wrong with people who identified as homosexual and there was a way to “fix” them. The doctors underwent studies attempting to classify and categorize these people based on their human behavior. Havelock Ellis was a physician and psychologist who discussed a phenomenon known as “sexual inversion.”

Sexual orientation is a challenging subject for those who have no viable knowledge with the matter. For those who deal with sexual orientation confusion, coming to terms with oneself is a challenge. For those who are homosexual, and grow up in the Catholic Church, are subjected to gay conversion therapy to rid them of their sins. Gay conversion therapy is the act of treating homosexuals as though they are diseased of the mind and must be cured of their illness, their homosexual thoughts. Homosexual boys and men are either forced into conversion therapy or make a voluntary choice to attend because they were raised to believe their sexuality is unnatural.

The overall experience of the LGBTQ community in America has been a horrific experience for the past 300 plus years. Individuals who share same sex interest were oppressed, discriminated, brutalized, experimented on, and killed due to their alternative lifestyle(s). Elze (2006) confirms these allegations by mentioning... “Since colonial times… people who love and sexually desire those of the same sex, have been imprisoned, executed, witch hunted, pilloried, confined in asylums, fired, excommunicated, disinherited, evicted, extorted, entrapped, censored, declared mentally ill, drugged, and subjected to castration, hormone injections, clitoridectomy, hysterectomy, ovariectomy, lobotomy, psychanalysis, and aversive therapies” (p.43).

Raymond (1992) and Miller (1992) both argue that homophobia affects all people, regardless of sexual orientation. Although most of their arguments are sound, I do not entirely agree. Differences in sexuality affect the lives of many, but I believe that the extent to which they affect the lives of gay men and lesbians in comparison to heterosexual individuals is not comparable. If the authors had specifically concluded that homophobia affects gay men and lesbians far more than it affects heterosexual people, then I would not feel negatively about the arguments; however, both essentially conclude that we need to do something about the prevalence of homophobia, but mostly because it affects heterosexual people. Raymond (1992) argues that homophobia
