LGBT rights
One group of people who face inequality today is the LGBT community. Everyone knows they face it, whether they like to admit or not. Last year, there was a bill passed in Mississippi to allow businesses to refuse service to LGBT people, basically saying they can refuse to give someone a hamburger because they're gay. How come you don't see these types of bills passed to refuse service to people who are Christian or straight? That's because being Christian or straight is considered the norm. Why is it other people's business what people do with their own body or the person they love if it doesn't even affect them? We were beginning to see change and improvement for the LGBT community once Obama passed the bill to allow gay marriage on June 26th, 2015. But all that effort has gone down the drain now since Trump, even though he said he was an advocate for the LGBT community, has his vice president, Mike Pence, being an advocate for shock therapy (the belief that you can "shock" the gay out of someone). If Trump is such an advocate and supporter for the community, why would he choose a vice president that clearly is homophobic? It looks as if things are only going to get worse for LGBT people.

i feel that is it super unfair that they get such bad treatment for being them self's the other day i had seen a video were a man who was gay went into a little buffet to eat and the manger had walk up and ask him to leave because of the fact he was gay. But when people ask why he was being asked to leave he keep saying its because of the way he looks and smells. its just sad that they are treated with no respect when all they do is respect others and their beliefs, when their own are not respected what so ever.
ReplyDeleteI agree. I think we are all humane beings and we should be treated like it. I also don't understand why people say its not "normal". In todays society I think its perfectly reasonable to say there is no such thing as "normal".
ReplyDeletei totally agree. just because somebody is gay doesn't mean they should be treated poorly, also parents think that its wrong for their child to see a gay couple, its not like their child is going to become gay. its their decision to do whatever they like.
ReplyDeleteJust because someone is gay doesn't change the fact that they are human and should have the same rights as everyone else. I don't see why people have a problem with who people like or what they do with their lives. I just hope that the LGBT community can soon be treated like everyone else and get the respect they deserve as human beings.
