People are different. People all around the world are different. Why do we as different people categorize others based on their skin color or their gender identity. We should all understand what it means to be different. We all have our rights so the LGBTQ community should also have their rights. They should have their freedom.

LGBTQ stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer or questioning. This community is based of people who either feel they were born in the wrong body, they like the same sex or both sexes, or they feel like they have have both female and male personalities. People in the LGBTQ community or said to be weird or a disgrace just because they feel, and think differently. These people should be able to enjoy …show more content…

The children don't go through problems like marriage they go through bullying. Some people aren't accepted in school and that makes everything harder for them. Bullies make fun of them and call them freaks to the point where they believe it. A lot of these students commit suicide because it was all to much. Bullying hurts and nobody should have to endure being bullied. Regular kids get bullied because they might be over weight or they are different then everyone else, these kids receive help as long as they ask for it. Some gay students might not get help because their counselor is against gays and imagine how their lives are going to be with a president who doesn't really accept being different.

The counter side of my argument is that the LGBTQ community shouldn't have their own rights. They might say that it would take to much money and time to invest in their happiness. They would have to change some laws or create some new ones. They would have to make some states change their minds on gay people. So yeah its going to take some time but it's for a good cause. They deserve happiness,everyone does even the person with the blackest of hearts. This is why my counter side is

I have seen many articles and done research on these topics and this is what I have concluded: everyone is equal. I may not personally be a part of the LGBTQ+ community or be a part of any cultural community or race, but I do believe that all feelings of an individual are valid. They are worthy of being and feeling any way they know in their hearts is right, regardless of what gender they are or the colour of their skin. But when we have leaders of countries trying to ban individuals from a place that is famously known as ‘the land of the free’, I become very uneasy about the future of this world. Humans has stooped so low that we cannot see past religious differences because of mistakes that some individuals once made a long-time age.

There is discrimination in this world to this day, there is discriminations against “people who are gay”. This discrimination is just like the Holocaust, because the Germans didn’t like the jews. I believe the gay marriage should have been approved long before it was. People need to realize judging someone because they are gay is wrong, that person is obviously an idiot. It is not up to people to judge other people because they are gay.

Students that are of a different race feel left out, or miss represented by some of the whitewashed books they read in school. Students are all different and want to be recognized in society. Today there are more and more people in the LGBTQ community and identify within that range. The people who identify as such do not choose to be this way more than someone chooses to be of a particular race, therefore they need to feel represented too. Children need to know that there are people like them, so they can fit in or relate to an issue and know they are not alone in this world.

Transgender students are denied the right to feel comfortable and included while others enjoy that right.

All students

An important and impactful U.S. document, known as the Declaration of Independence states “ …that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.” Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) people are like ordinary U.S. citizens and deserve the same freedoms. As of now, discrimination of a certain race being higher than another, is not the only problem. LGBT people around the U.S. are being harassed, discriminated, and freedoms and rights are being taken away. A person’s sexual orientation can force them to not eat at a particular restaurant, adopt a child, or even buy a simple wedding cake.

Gay rights has been a long protested issue by both sides, for it and against it. One of the most famous groups that go against is the Westboro Baptist Church, who have many protests against the LGBTQ+ community as well as other things, but that is besides the point. They are not the only people that do this as well, some do it presentations in school, some do it on online posts or videos. There are many ways you can show your voice now and protest, though many people, like WBC do still picket with signs and screaming and hate. Each side of this movement has their own protests and riots, a well known riot in the 60’s was the Stonewall Riots.

The Charter of Rights and Freedoms has allowed a rapid advancement of the rights of the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer Canadians hereafter referred to as the queer community. The Charter’s guarantee of equality for all inspired a rights- based approach to queer rights that led to the queer community being granted the same rights as heterosexual men and women ultimately culminating in the legalization of same- sex marriages. This advancement in rights has primarily proceeded through the Courts as they proved much more willing to recognize the rights of the queer community than the government of Canada. This recognition of the equality of queer Canadians was made possible by the Charter accelerating a pre-existing process of separation

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).

Anyone who is an American citizen knows that with citizenship comes many perks, responsibilities, and rights. Citizens also believe that if they abide by the law, pay their taxes, and positively serve their community they have earned the rights that they know they have as an American. Unfortunately, not every American citizen is given equal rights to the fullest extent. Gay and lesbian families are constantly being denied rights that a typical American citizen wouldn’t think twice about. Law abiding gay and lesbian citizens have a disadvantage from other people, not because they are breaking laws or doing anything wrong but because unaffected parties don’t accept their sexual orientation and cause problems.

To most ears, it probably sounds inoffensive. A little outdated and clinical, perhaps, but harmless enough: homosexual. But that five-syllable word has never been more loaded, more deliberately used and, to the ears of many gays and lesbians, more permissiveness. Homosexual’ is the ring of ‘colored’ now, in the way your grandmother might have used that term, except that it hasn’t been recover in the same way. Consider the following phrases: homosexual community, homosexual activist, homosexual marriage.
