The Past is to be respected and acknowledged, but not to be worshiped. It is our future in which we will find our greatness.

Clifton Davis participated in a school trip to the Glen Echo Park, only to find out his money was wasted due to the fact that the park would not let him in because of his skin color. The Glen Echo Park is unjustified, as its policy to exclude all negro’s is unfair and it clearly speaks against the Declaration of Independence. “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.” (Declaration of Independence)

Facts: Oral and anal sex between two individuals from the same gender was deemed illegal—implemented through a Georgia statute. Hardwick who was an adult male, was charged in 1982 for violating the statute by engaging in sexual activities with another male in his home. The case was not pursued by the District Attorney, who also decided to not have the case presented before a grand jury. Hardwick went to the federal district court where he questioned the statute’s constitutionality.

It can be hard to find your political view. Sometimes it takes time and research on political issues in our country and around the world. There are two popular political views; conservative and liberal. The definition for a conservative; is holding to traditional attitudes and values and cautious about change or innovation, typically in relation to politics or religion. Liberal definition is; open to new behavior or opinions and willing to discard traditional values. My political view is in between conservative and liberal, moderate.

A statement by Congressman Jarred Polis of 2nd District of Colorado, “Equality before the law is an American value articulated in our Constitution.” However, LGBT people today are still being treated unfairly because they tend to be different. Congressman Polis is said to be strongly committed to ending this discrimination, which is why he came up with the term “Student Non-Discrimination Act.” It is to avoid all kinds of discrimination for the people who are part of LGBT community. It’s been proven that discrimination is a cause for the students to skip school and to harm

The issue at hand is that after 40 years after the U.S. Supreme court made a ruling in the case of Roe vs. Wade, politicians in some states are trying their best to ban the law that secures a woman’s right to terminate a pregnancy if she chooses to. In other states, lawmakers are trying to do whatever they can to see that abortion clinics close their doors for good. Making decisions that would stop Medicare from funding an abortion could put a woman at risk if they are pregnant because they would go to extreme measures to give their self an abortion if they do not wish to keep their baby. These clinics offer, more than just an option to get an abortion, state officials would rather see them shut down than to service women in need of other things

From an early age the Christian religion has generally condemned homosexuality. As society progresses, so do the attitudes of many Christian denominations towards homosexuality. There have been numerous changes and movements regarding homosexuality in history that have helped with the progression of many Christian’s thoughts on homosexuals. There have been three major gay rights movements in history, the Homophile movement, Gay and Lesbian Liberation movement, and the LGBT movement. These three movements and the changes that occurred during them have helped change millions of people’s views on homosexuality in a positive way. Many Christian denominations have also changed their religious views on the idea of homosexuality.

Same sex relationships is something that has been frowned upon and looked at as morally wrong in society for centuries. With it having such a negative look on it many people are afraid to be open with their sexuality and are keeping it behind closed doors. When talking about Correctional institutions, they have always had their own view/set of rules when it comes to homosexuality and how it should be handled. Even though they say it a non tolerance act while incarcerated, many inmates often exhibit this behavior while in incarcerated.

Little has been written about this specific phenomenon. Berger (1982) found that successful marriages of this type are rare. According to Timothy J. Dailey (2004), homosexual relationship is radically different from married couples and lasts only a fraction of the length of married couples. There are approximately 20% of marriages involving heterosexuals and homosexual spouse that have made it through the storm, Wendy (2009). Over 20% of both gay and bisexual men remained married for 7 years after coming out or disclosure. There are 58% of married heterosexuals who stays for about 20 years after marriage, Zimmerman (2013).

The 1960s and 1970s were tumultuous times for freedom and rights movements, a memorable key movement being the Black Liberation Movement, also known as the Civil Rights Movement. This movement gained rights for black Americans by having protests, such as riots, sit-ins, and marches, that lead to the passing of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Act of 1965. The Black Liberation Movement also had inspired many other movements, such as the Women’s Liberation Movement, the Student Movement, the Environmental Movement, and the Gay Liberation Movement. During the late 1960s and the 1970s, the Gay Liberation Movement was in full-swing, giving attention to the gay and lesbian communities, who before had

The United States has made great progress in achieving social justice in regards to sexual diversity within society; however, multiple barriers continue to exist for educators and students alike. The main barrier is that sexuality is a topic often avoided or constrained within educational policy due in part by conservative

Many people think the battle for LGBTQA+ rights in the United States ends with our achievement of marriage equality. Unfortunately, it does not end there. In an article written by Jody L. Herman, Christy Mallory, and Bianca D.M. Wilson in March 2016, they state,”Nearly 300,000 transgender youth and adults may be negatively impacted by legislation introduced in 15 states. These bills would limit access to single-sex restrooms and locker rooms at schools and in public places; limit protections based on gender identity; permit individuals and businesses to discriminate against transgender people based on religious and moral beliefs; and limit the ability to change certain vital records documents, such as birth certificates, or enforce the use

Lacking precise definition, Section 377 became subject to varied judicial interpretation over the years. Though ostensibly applicable to heterosexuals and homosexuals, Section 377 acted as a complete prohibition on the penetrative sexual acts engaged in by homosexual men, thereby criminalising their sexual expression and identity. Besides, the society too identified the proscribed acts with the homosexual men, and the criminalization had a severe impact on their dignity and self-worth. After the supreme courts verdict against the gay rights, it has given rise to a rage among the public. Personally I am against the verdict of the Supreme Court. One simply cannot announce a person criminal because of his sexuality. Being in a democratic nation a person should be allowed to decide upon his sexuality. One can simply cannot disown someone based upon his or her sexuality. Laws are made for the society not against the society. Nobody chooses to be a homosexual. Why would someone choose an identity, which lead them to be disparaged from the society and rejected by their families. Being gay is not a choice, it is something which just occurs to them. Even if being a homosexual is a choice it should not matter because it is an independent choice and you cannot tell a person whom to
