Blachard is one the many celebrities who no longer identifies as straight.

Normally I hate celebrity gossip, and I really don’t care what another person identifies themselves as. If somebody wants to identify themselves as a hetroflexible male one minute, and a homoflexible women the next women, fine with me. I don’t judge people based on their sexuality. But Rowan Blanchard is the youngest celebrity that I can remember to come out. Blanchard’s coming out has caused controversy, mainly among parents.

And why shouldn’t we encourage and celebrate kids coming out as LGBTQ? It’s bad enough that kids (and adults) have to stay in the closet out of fear getting beat up. The only thing people within the LGBTQ community want is to not to be fired from their jobs, not get attacked just for expressing who they are. People within the LGBTQ community also want to have the same rights as everybody else.
What If Girl Meets World Had a Gay Character?

If Disney had decided to add a gay character on Girl Meets World, there’s no telling how they would introduce that character. But if I was a writer of that show, here’s what I would do.

Cory introduces a new girl to class. Let’s call her Katie. Katie is smart and she’s into sports. Katie subtly flirts with Riley. Katie and Riley starts to hang out and they get along great. Lucas, Maya, and Farkle start to notice that Katie likes Riley. But Riley is too oblivious. This epispode makes a meta-reference. “Is she old enough to know?” Maya tells Riley that Katie likes her. Riley is like “Oh…okay.”

Later on the episode, Riley confronts Katie. After about a minute of awkwardness. Katie admits that she likes Riley, but Riley tells Katie that she likes somebody else. Katie figures out that Riley likes

'M not saying he 's absolutely a hundred prosent not straight - all 'm saying is that it 's a possibility that we, even after five years, cannot thoroughly deny. I think anyone labeling him straight is just as wrong as anyone labeling him gay, bi, pan or other. Something to keep in mind is the fact that in the business he 's in, being openly gay isn 't neccessarily even possible; it 's been quite legitly proven that their deal with Modest! and Syco has been less than ideal. Keep in mind these four men are all in a boyband, majority of which 's fans are young girls in their early or mid-teens (there are older fans too, obviously, especially in the Larrie part of the fandom) and being gay is unfortunately seen as a huge problem by some in the

Young Adult literature is essentially about identity-formation so this gendered and misogynistic language could form views about the world that a young adult would not necessarily form without these stereotypes. If these are already views that a young adult does have they may encourage them further. Character formation is important for the author to accomplish in order to make the character relatable, Alexie may have gone a little far though in an Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian, the character in fact became not relatable to the intended audience, yes my interviewee noticed it, but he didn’t understand it. Furthermore, these views and perceptions although true to the author may be somewhat outdated, which is why some young adults may not relate to the character. If in fact the audience does relate to this character or believe these views are the norm they may end up incorporating them into their own developing gender

The movement consist of mostly nonviolent acts. The Civil Rights Movement went on to last until the late 1960’s, but a lot of the key parts to the movement came from the 1950’s, such as Brown vs. Board of Education, Rosa Parks, Little Rock, etc. The Civil Rights Movement impacted the United States by changing the whole outlook on life when it comes to the perception of race and it all started in the great decade of the 1950’s.

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.
