In Mexico, the primary religion is Roman Catholicism, one of the oldest religious institutions. Protestantism, a newer branch of Christianity, broke away from Catholicism during the Protestant Reformation when some Catholics disagreed with the way the Church was run. Even this religious disagreement dating back to the 16th century reflects the more rebellious atmosphere of California compared to Mexico. Rodriguez writes, “The Catholic—the Mexican— impulse was pushed back, vanquished by comedy; a Protestant conquest.” (17-19)

First Draft Why is it that more masculine homosexual women get the label of wanting to be the opposite sex? Majority of women that do not fit the category of the type of “lesbian” guys like are often bullied, called a man, accused of wanting to be a man or even are attacked by males. The “lesbian” that guys like are the more feminine women that guys see as pleasure or wanting to be a part of the group.

Adoption is typically an option that is thought about when the process of conceiving a biological child is out of the question. For some couples it may be infertility, potential hereditary health problems, or that carrying a child would be dangerous to the mother and unborn child. Those are just some issues that would cause a heterosexual couple to contemplate the idea of adopting a child, but what about couples of the same-sex? Same-sex couples do not have the means to reproduce together so many opt for adoption, which sounds easy, but typically is not. Adoption is a long and hard drawn out process for any couple, but for couples that are of the same-sex, they typically get the shorter end of the stick.

Homosexuality was once considered sacred in ancient Rome, albeit being treated poorly since the middle ages. Like this, homosexuality has been suppressed for a long time and thenceforth, the public opinion towards it has been on a downward road until recent years when LGBT groups started stepping up front and coming out along with the increasing controversy towards their rights.

Every once in a while a news article would come up saying something like "Manny Pacquiao provokes storm by calling gay people ‘worse than animals’" or "Sam Smith Talks Coming Out As Gay".
In 2009, The United Kingdom Hindu Council issued a statement that 'Hinduism does not condemn homosexuality ', subsequent to the decision of the Delhi High Court to legalise homosexuality in India. Probably, this is the only issue for which the priests, Babas & Maulanas from different faiths have been united and agree to raise one voice on this topic. Many of them have told on TV how homosexuality is against the "great Indian culture". But, if one takes a quick glance at the ancient Indian culture, mythology etc, this topic is not new.
