The Sexual Orientation Of The United States

in 2010, it was found that out of 3134 young homosexual Australians, ‘‘61 per cent had suffered

Tocqueville saw America’s problems and knew it would lead to our current state. Tocqueville stated that democracy would lead to individualism and materialism. Today, Americans are apathetic towards many things. Instead of attempting to understand a subject, they don’t want to deal with it. When issues emerge, Americans want the government to take charge and end the debate by passing a law. For example, sexual orientation has been a widely-debated issue. There are two main sides: pro-LGBTQIA+ and those against LGBTQIA+. Those who are against LGBTQIA want the government to step in and make it illegal. But think about how ridiculous it is to outlaw something that is so personal. Sexual orientation does not affect others. People do not bleed every time they meet someone who is gay. Still, they want to control other people’s lives and who they choose to love. Government has taken a bigger role that the founding fathers were against. Government was only supposed to protect and provide for the people. Today, it has a much bigger role in individual’s personal lives. It is taking on the issues of sexual orientation, gender, which bathroom a transgender must use, and much more. These issues are social issues that the government should not be involved in. There is so much more that needs the attention of government officials. For example, the education system, healthcare, tax reform, war, and more. The power we have given government can lead to a tyranny. The more power given to the

Post-World War II, everyday gay life and consciousness transformed. The war stressed the segue from connecting gender inversion with sexual non-conformity to constructing and adhering to the binarism between homosexual and heterosexual identities. The pre-war notion that anyone could capitulate to homosexual temptations was replaced by the omnipresent fear of contracting and developing homosexuality as an indeterminate hybrid of both illness and mental disorder. A homosexual was considered and regarded as a security risk to the sanctity of a functioning society. The diaries of Donald Vining and Martin Duberman, both well-educated gay men working within academia, shed light on the lives and consciousness of gay men in the years following the end of World War II. As they both recount, the post-war years witnessed widespread fear, policing, and marginalization of homosexuals, and this resulted not simply from the construction of homosexuality as an entity separate from gender. Rather, this marginalization stemmed largely from the recognition that homosexuality, in the way that it was expressed by gay men such as Vining and Duberman, defied the constraints that constituted the heterosexual paradigm of relationships.

The world is full of all type of discrimination, Racial Discrimination, Equal Rights among minorities, yet, the society struggles with sexual orientation. Sexual orientation is the classification of individuals, such as heterosexual, bisexual, or homosexual based upon their emotional and sexual attractions, relationships, self-identity, and behavior (Mooney, page 400). This sexual orientation is a global problem. It is illegal for a males or females to be homosexual in the majority of the 86 countries in the United Nations (Ottosson 2008); these individuals can victim of criminal punishment or corporal punishment for being

Many other countries included soldiers that were gay. There are sources that stated that Hitler’s SS guard included

Throughout the history of humans, people have been having sex. It’s obviously necessary for the continuation of humans as a species. But it definitely hasn’t been for just reproductive purposes. People have been engaging in same-gender sex for probably as long as humans have been around. However, the terms we think of today when we think of different sexual orientations didn’t get coined until the 19th and 20th centuries. And with these terms came huge stigma that still exists today. There are many different sexual orientations that people identify as (including heterosexuality, homosexuality, bisexuality, as well as many others); the orientations that do not coincide with what people viewed as normal were originally given classification as mental disorders.

A relationship is defined as a way in which two or more concepts, objects, or people are connected, or the state of being connected. “Mariam Webstar 11/01/16” Webstar also states that a relationship can also be a romantic or sexual friendship between two people. In many states under public view, a relationship is supposed to between a man and a woman, however, the era of a relationship being between a man and a woman is over. Now a days, the publics eye has ben more accepting of homosexuality in America. A recent article posted on www. Gallup.com, stated “Over the last few decades, landmark legal cases, medical discoveries, and movies and TV shows have done much to increase acceptance toward homosexuality in American culture {.}”

However, K. Cuordileone takes this idea one step further, and analyzes the hypermasculine identities that emerged from World War 2 and the Cold War, citing this new masculine presence as a cause for the homophobia many gay men faced (Cuordileone

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights declares that, " All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights" (Amnesty Int'l...). Accordingly, human rights violations committed because of the victim's real or perceived sexual identity must be met with a concerted and sustained international response. Working with the help of 20 other countries from the belief that all people deserve equal protection under law, a growing international movement is taking up the challenge of protecting the dignity and rights of people everywhere who are lesbian, gay, bi-sexual or transgender. A new program to aid in this is OUTFRONT, Amnesty International USA's program on human rights and sexual identity. This program is a response to the need for activists who confront these violations and protect the rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people.

This paper examines the social aspects of the sexual identity in America, illustrating how sexual identities have progressed, evolved, and transformed. Social categories have been created as a tool used for social divide and control, inadvertently creating stereotypical facts and discriminatory opinions on sexes; while also helping create social and welcoming communities, whose goals are to diminish ideals such as those. Concluding, this paper will have explained the dichotomous categories of different sexualities and the divides within them. The already established sexual divide leaves no room for those stuck in the in between of today's society, especially one as progressive as America’s. Derived from the examples giving, this paper argues

“While I don 't believe the environment can "make someone gay", it certainly can influence their willingness to accept their sexuality and/or to "come out" to others. In communities where intolerance is frowned upon and society in general is "gay-friendly", a gay child is more likely to feel comfortable both with his/her own sexual orientation, and with sharing this information with family or friends. On the other hand, in places where homosexuality is frowned upon or even punished, they are more likely to keep it hidden, or even deny it to themselves.

Sexual orientation can be considered as one of America’s most controversial topics. Although the rationale and choice differs from person to person, and is considered to be a private matter of personal preference, many people have experienced negative backlash and harsh criticism due to their individual likings. In general, sexual orientation is defined as: a person 's sexual identity in relation to the gender to which they are attracted; the fact of being heterosexual, homosexual, or bisexual. While the definition seems to be straightforward and concise, the subject of sexual orientation encompasses much more than just the intensity of emotional and erotic attraction and response to members of the opposite sex, the same sex, or both

In the article, “Gay”, Anne Quindlen described that what she learned in the story of a man who was homosexual and died because of the AIDS, and she realized that she should understand her children more. A man died for ADIS but his parents never mentioned about he was homosexual because they felt shamed and hard to accept it. Quindlen said that a father was hard to accept his son was homosexual because he considered his son was as same as he. In addition, Quindlen thought she could accept her son was homosexual even thought it might break her heart for a while. Overall, the story reminded Quindlen to understand her son more rather than persist to argue that he should be a man like this or that.

Being transgender in Iran is shaped not just by transnational dispersion of ideas and practices from a Western heartland to the rest, but is the result of a sociocultural and political situation in Iran over the past half century (Najmabadi 535-536). Ayatollah Khomeini, a revolution leader in Iran, headed an insurgency the which prompted the annihilation of Shah Pahlavi, king of Iran in 1979. Khomeini was naturally introduced to a strict Shi'ite family and grew up to distinctly the pioneer of the Islamic clergy and also had noteworthy inclusion in the Islamic political gathering, the Iranian Freedom Movement. Iran’s primary target was to pick up flexibility, freedom and the majority rule of the government for the

The overall structure of the essay was phenomenal. There just a few small grammar mistakes in punctuation. Also can you provided facts statistics on how gay love is as you claimed “ridicule” in American culture. Personal experience is invalid. Can you provided a story of how the media demonizes gay love or if need be how many people a year commit suicide because of this. Can you also explain the science behind love is a neurochemical reaction, what causes? What are the signs that a person, in love, arouse is it a primary or secondary emotion? Explain more about prop 8, and how the LGBT community fought to get gay marriage legalized in the US. I like when you mention that love is universal it shouldn’t be defined by gender please elaborate on
