Over time, there have been multiple historical figures who have inspired others and have changed the course of history and influenced people around the world for years to come. Two of the aforementioned people were Toussaint L’Ouverture and Mohandas Gandhi. Toussaint L’Ouverture was an important figure in the freedom of Haiti from European imperialism. Haiti was controlled by European Imperialists who had terrible conditions for slaves, heavily taxed and fined the natives, and treated them unfavorably. He connected Enlightment ideas and ideas from the French Revolution in his fight for independence from Haiti.
During the 1950s and 60s, society looked down on homosexuality. The general public opinion was that homosexuality was something to be ashamed of and threatening to wholesome family values. In a 1967 CBS News documentary called “The Homosexuals”, anchor Mike Wallace said, “In preparing this broadcast, CBS News commissioned a survey by the Opinion Research Corporation into public attitudes about homosexuality. We discovered that Americans consider homosexuality more harmful to society than adultery, abortion, or prostitution.”
Sam Allberry, the author of the book Is God Anti-Gay, provides an easy-to-read and comprehensive analysis of topics surrounding homosexuality. He covers the relationships between homosexuality and God’s design; homosexuality and the Bible; homosexuality and the Christian; homosexuality and the church; and homosexuality and the world. Alberry’s view of our relationship with God and each other is very Biblically accurate; however, his view on judgment is slightly different from what I believe is found in scripture. His analysis of the relationship between human marriage and God’s nature is very accurate and profound. Allberry’s views about the gift of singleness share a similar profound accuracy.
Kinsey’s continuum measures sexual orientation based off of experiences, affection, and desires ranging from being exclusively heterosexual to exclusively homosexual. Kinsey’s study allowed for the fluidity of sexual orientation to be measured and exist. I think hate crimes and homophobia stems from negative beliefs towards people regarding other’s preference. Hate crimes are the act of aggression and homophobia is bias against homosexuality. I think institutions along with other social structures impact people’s beliefs and influence these inequalities systemically.

Today we are talking about the perception of homosexuals in modern times amongst American citizens.

Although there is no evidence to support this hypothesis it even influenced UK Legislation from 1988 until 2003 , banning state schools from teaching children about homosexuality. This legislation was brought into act when homosexuality was against many social norms due to the increase in the HIV/AIDS virus, this legislation was therefore seen as an attack on the LGBT community. Freud's psychoanalytic theory also attempted to explain homosexuality Freud believed that the root of all behaviours were due to our unconscious minds therefore homosexuality can be due to negative childhood experiences such as a negative relationships these experiences are then repressed in our unconscious mind. Freud stated these male homosexuality could be caused due to a father being distant from his son or closeness to a mother. Overall, psychoanalytic theory suggests that our behaviour is influenced by two motivations that ultimately create conflict within an individual the “Thanatos” creates aggression, sadism and our fear or death,

Many treatments and therapies were being created and used to try and cure homosexuality. Although
Foucault’s Conception of Power and its Compatibilism with Liberating Action In The History of Sexuality, Volume 1: An Introduction, Michel Foucault uses the history of sexuality to problematize the widespread notion of power as essentially repressive. He begins with what he calls the “repressive hypothesis,” which is the notion that sexuality and discourse surrounding it has been repressed for the last three centuries (Foucault 6). Foucault goes on to reject this hypothesis because discourse surrounding sexuality has multiplied rather than decreased, which is inconsistent with this hypothesis (Foucault 17). According to this hypothesis, sexuality was repressed by the government, with the law being its way to exercise power over the individuals
To begin with, the writer proposes the main contention in the first paragraph—‘Homosexuality is abnormal and hence undesirable’ (Levin, 1997), which is a conclusion drawn by various premises. At the beginning, the writer adopts the theory of natural selection and applies it to the development of sex orientation in human. Natural selection is described as a process in which only selective characteristic of organisms that can increase an organism’s chances of survival are preferentially propagated to the offspring, hence allowing the organisms to adapt to the environment (Encyclopaedia Britannica, n.d.). According to this theory, every body part we possess has its own function defined by nature to favour our survival. The writer then argues
He expressed that, “It's very important that even closeted sexuality be something that's seriously interrogated, because it can lead toward a kind of internalized homophobia within gay or lesbian persons themselves,” (West 404). When society persists in keeping a closed mind and combat homosexuality, then a number of homosexuals will remain hesitant in exiting the closet since, they would be petrified of being terrorized. Consequently, the mainstream causes unjustified homophobia in insecure homosexuals, which could eventually lead to depression. It is abnormal to be fearful of oneself, therefore, communities should put in effort to embrace any sexuality in pursuance of keeping their population mentally healthy. Likewise, “If one is gay or lesbian, one should be proud of it.
Sexuality is one of those feelings that you are born with. Different cultures and religions have their own definition of sexuality. It's not something that you choose, it's a natural physically, emotional, and sexual attraction to male, female, or even both. For centuries it is believe by some cultures that if you weren't heterosexual then you have a mental disease and considered abnormal. Foucault believed that power is persuasive, multi-faced, and is not already planned.
