...identify as LGBT, which then concludes that 7.3% of the US population identifies as LGBT. Unfortunately, studies from CBS News and Pew Research surveys present that 53% of LGBT people still feel that they are being discriminated and 39% have been rejected by family and friends. As many may know, but for those who have not learned, June is Pride Month in the US. Pride Month is a way for people in the LGBT+ community to feel pride in the accomplishments they have created and the obstacles they have overcome from all the discrimination and hatred faced in order to feel free. While many outside the LGBT+ community assume that after the right for marriage equality in 2015 that the community has "finally won", this is not the case. There are a...

...The LGBT Community face many inequalities when it comes to civil rights. LGBT couples or individuals are denied rights to adopt and foster children in some states. They are being judged as bad candidates because of their sexual orientation. Transgender parents battle for custody of their children on the terms that their transition will negatively affect the kids. According to Salek (2013), Since custody agreements try to satisfy the "best interest of the child," the transgender parent is often placed in a bad light because of their transition. Some states refuse to recognize same-sex parents with a legal parent-child relationship. American Civil Liberties Union filed a lawsuit against the Utah State Office of Vital Records for denying a partner...

...president? Would the people of the United States want a president who only cares about the people of America? Or someone who only cares about power, wealth and attention? A President is someone who’s brave, assertive, and caring for the life of theirs and others and these are only a handful of the qualities that Bernie Sanders is showing throughout his campaign. Presidents are the ones who tell the people of the country what to do, when to do it and how they’re going to achieve it. Therefore as the leader the importance of running it sufficiently is a crucial aspect of creating a well-functioning and controlled government. Bernie Sanders is the right president for America because he supports a few of the most common issues like family values, LGBT equality and the ban of the death penalty....

...LGBT Healthcare Disparity Theresa Sellers Southwestern Oklahoma University LGBT Healthcare Disparity INTRODUCTION There is an increasing progress being made in the equal right of the LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered) community. Fifteen of the states now recognize at least some of the same rights to same sex couples that are given to heterosexual couples (Krehley, 2009). Despite the progress that has been made, the LGBT population continues to experience worse health outcomes due to poor health insurance coverage, higher rates of stress due to discrimination and cultural incompetency (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Health, 2012). Same sex marriage laws and domestic partnership benefits increase the burden of health care costs. A recent study of period in disparities in health insurance coverage of same-sex couples revealed that partnered gay men are less likely (42 percent) as married heterosexual men to get employer-sponsored dependent coverage, and partnered lesbians have an even slimmer chance (28 percent) of getting dependent coverage compared to married heterosexual women. As a result of these much lower rates of employer-provided coverage, partnered lesbians and gay men are more than twice as likely to be uninsured as married heterosexuals. The exclusion of insurance benefits for gay men and women and the failure of domestic partnership benefits to provide equal access to health coverage results into more health spending...

...ETIKA PERBANDINGAN MPU2312 SEXUALITY MS. NORIAH Krishna Priyah Chee Long Kok Si Janice Ong Jonathan Chow Justin Bonus Phuah Kah Hock Wang Wei Shen INTRODUCTION In this report we will discuss about sexuality in general such as homosexuality. We will look further into the LGBT community between Asian and Western countries. Homosexuality has been a characteristic of human culture since the course of the 19th century. After the modern gay rights movement that began in 1969, in America, more people around the world started to change their mindset of seeing gay rights as “a mental illness to cure” to having more people trying to understand LGBT through biology, psychology, history and cultural variations of sexual practices and identity. We chose this topic because, gay rights has always been a sensitive topic for Malaysians today, this is mainly due to the fact that the government retains the colonial era penal code criminalizing sodomy and shaped by Islam, the official religion in Malaysia. In addition to the secular law, Muslim citizens may also be charged in special Islamic courts, the Syariah Court. In this report we will discuss the religious perspective of Asian and Western countries about homosexuality. We will go through the meaning of homosexuality in detail and ethical perspectives between Asian countries and western countries. Revealing statistical numbers on homosexuality problems and suggestions on how to be ethical when dealing with sexuality...

...Health disparities of the LGBT community Darlene Poer Grand Canyon University Minerva Gonzales May 15, 2016 Health disparities of the LGBT community Many factors contribute to a person’s health status. Among them are, limited access to care, socioeconomic, and environmental factors. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), “the social determinants of health as well as race are ethnicity, sex, sexual orientation, age, and disability” (Myers, Yoon, & Kaufman, 2013). The Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) community falls into this category. The individuals that belong to this group come from all ethnicities, races, economic and social statuses throughout the United States and the world. The Institute of Medicines report in 2011 states, “lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender individuals have unique health experiences, but as a nation, we do not know exactly what these experiences and needs are ("LGBT health report," 2011, p. 4).For this reason their needs and health care inequities and inequalities should be addressed. The health promotion goal of the LGBT community is to “improve the health, safety, and well-being of lesbian, gay, and transgender individuals” ("," 2014). To understand the current health status of the LGBT community, one must understand some basic definitions. 1. Gender identity-A person’s basic sense of being male or female. 2. Gender expression- Manifestations that are defined as masculine or feminine. 3. Gender role...

...What Is LGBT? LGBT stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender and along with heterosexual they describe people's sexual orientation or gender identity. These terms are explained in more detail here. Lesbian A lesbian woman is one who is romantically, sexually and/or emotionally attracted to women. Many lesbians prefer to be called lesbian rather than gay. Gay A gay man is one who is romantically, sexually and/or emotionally attracted to men. The word gay can be used to refer generally to lesbian, gay and bisexual people but many women prefer to be called lesbian. Most gay people don't like to be referred to as homosexual because of the negative historical associations with the word and because the word gay better reflects their identity. Bisexual A bisexual person is someone who is romantically, sexually and/or emotionally attracted to people of both sexes. Transgender or Trans Is an umbrella term used to describe people whose gender identity (internal feeling of being male, female or transgender) and/or gender expression, differs from that usually associated with their birth sex. Not everyone whose appearance or behaviour is gender-atypical will identify as a transgender person. Many transgender people live part-time or full-time in another gender. Transgender people can identify as transsexual, transvestite or another gender identity. Gender Identity One's gender identity refers to whether one feels male, female or transgender (regardless of one's biological...

...Prevent Discrimination in the Workplace Even today, discrimination is prevalent in several countries around the world. There are people living in societies that have a bias against individuals who possess certain immutable characteristics concerning race, sex, and gender. One of those countries is the United States of America. Fortunately, the public’s acceptance of marriage equality has gained substantial traction in the past 20 years, especially after President Obama announced his public support in 2012 as noted by Hackl, Boyer and Galupo (521). Sherkat, Mattias de Vries, and Creek conclude that this trend will continue (361). The right for same-sex couples to marry is gaining nationwide acceptance and the legalization of same-sex marriage...

...bisexuals, and lesbian people are discriminated against in almost every aspect of their lives because they are not happy with whom they are as a man or a woman or by which partner they choose to be with. Groups representing the lesbians, gays, bi-sexual, and transgender (LGBT) communities have sprung into the public attention due to the fight for equal rights. Their claims amount to a call for freedom to live in the style they choose within the limits that they do not cause harm or interfere with the rights of others. The three sources were reviewed to determine what it is that the LGBT populations encounter in their lives. A huge problem LGBT persons face is the laws that stand them out among citizens. Author of From Identity to Politics, Craig A. Rimmerman, believes in the movements in the United States history for the gay and lesbian community. “The homophile movement arose within the context of a prevailing ideology that regarded lesbians and gays as perverts, psychopaths, deviates, and the like” (20). Ultimately, these labels were internalized, and society then formed negative stereotypes based on the belief of most citizens who did not understand the LGBT people. Most believe that the movement for LGBT rights began with the Stonewall Rebellion of 1969, but history has shown that was not the case (Rimmerman 21). Henry Hay was the first to embrace liberationist principles when he founded the Mattachine Society in 1951. Hay was an art teacher in Los Angeles, who along with...

...Lind University of Virginia Studies in Women and Gender Program This article addresses the effects of heterosexist bias in social welfare policy frameworks on lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) individuals and families in the United States. It discusses the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act (PRWORA), the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA), federal definitions of family and household, and stereotypes about LGBT individuals. It argues that poor LGBT individuals and families lack full citizen rights and access to needed social services as a result of these explicit and implicit biases. Key words: Welfare reform; family policy; civil rights; gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender (LGBT); heterosexism Welfare reform is fundamentally about family policy—about promoting and privileging particular kinds of families, and about penalizing and stigmatizing others. (Cahill and Jones 2002: 1). Two pieces of legislation were passed in 1996 that set an important tone for family policy in the United States: The 1996 Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act (PRWORA), an act that expanded welfare-to-work programs throughout the country, restricted people’s access to public assistance, and crystallized the broader restructuring of public-private boundaries; and the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA), which defines marriage as a legal union between a man and a woman. At first glance, the two initiatives appear unrelated and inconsequential,...
