Should Homeosexuals Be Able to Marry
Stereotyping lasting negative impact shows prejudice has a lasting negative impact on those who experience it. Like racism if you never been discriminated against you would never understand nor experience rejection and the hurt especially when it deals with your career. Some discriminate because your woman or a particular group or ethnic background and there are times when it can be positive or negative actions toward the objects of prejudice. When we are dealing with stereotyping it involves generalizations about the typical characteristics of members of the group. There are several ways of measuring stereotypes by measuring the straight forward attribution of characteristics to nominated groups such as blacks are, whites are, women are men are doctors are professors are by identifying these different groups. Look there are other topics that we know falls under stereotyping homosexuality, lesbian, heterosexual, bisexual. I was looking at the video that shows the attitudes against homosexuals at a parade expressing their sexuality themselves in the park with kissing and personally I felt that was little too much to see. I saw the signs that were scripture base and what the word of God says about same sex relationships and now we at a time where they are trying to legalize same sex marriage. Now they have been doing studies regarding homosexuality and trying to associate it with mental illness. I wonder about that behavior some people consider that as unnatural. Some people stereotype same sex relationship as a curse they are looking at it from the bible point they say that type of behavior are creating a Sodom and Gomorrah. My husband and I went out to eat at a restaurant he sees a young man with his hair pulled up at the top of his head my spouse says something wrong with that picture now if a man where’s his hair like a women they are considered gay. My question is why do most aggressive and radical homosexuals act like women with switching smacking their

Maybe today’s society is too sensitive to acknowledge the validity of most…

    People will always judge others that are different based on anything. Even though it is still a problem in some areas of the world, race used to be the major object of discrimination. Now the more popular issue is a person's sexual orientation. Though it might not seem like a big deal to many people, there are many people who think otherwise; and they are usually the ones that create an environment that can be sometimes difficult to live in.…

    Heterosexual Americans uniformly disparaged gays as deviant and morally reprehensible. The American Psychiatric Association categorized homosexuality as a “mental disorder,” a position it did not jettison until 1973. Taking the psychological stereotyping a step further, Time magazine viewed homosexuality as “a pernicious sickness.” “If you were gay and you accepted those societal norms, then you were at war with yourself,” stated one college student as he recalled his own struggle to come to terms with his homosexuality. Exposure as a homosexual or lesbian could mean losing everything—job, spouse, friends, and social…

    Could you imagine if you had met the ideal person you wished to share your entire life with but the law would not allow you to? That is the position that many homosexual Australians have been in since the settlement of this country. Same sex marriage is currently not allowed in Australia but I and a proven 60% of other Australians strongly believe it should be. Gay people pay taxes, serve in the military, participate in the workforce, are our neighbors, friends and family. Logic and decency would suggest that they should have the right to marry, just as any heterosexual couple can. However, there are people who disagree with this belief, take for example the government, namely Australia’s prime minister, Julia Gillard, several religious groups who believe marriage should be kept between a man and a woman and those who simply wish to deny the happiness of two people in love because of their anatomy.…

    Moreover Mr. Mohr gives details on America’s “profound” ignorance of the actual gay experience. With the limited discussion of homosexuality, there are still those that have strong feelings toward gay men and women, often the feelings stemming from stereotypes that have formed around gay people. In support of his arguments, Richard described how gender identification stereotypes come into play with tags such as “Bull dikes and diesel dikes” for lesbian women demonstrating the quality of men and “queens, fairies, limp wrists, and nellies” for men who want to be or act like a women. The stereotypes make a ridicule of gay people, and…

    Homosexuality on the other hand is one of those behaviors that, even with extensive explanation, it is still misunderstood and looked down upon. In the article “Biased assimilation and attitude polarization in response to learning about biological explanations of homosexuality” by David Vogel & Guy Boysen, a study was ran to see if knowing about the biological reasons of homosexuality will change their negative opinions about it. Vogel & Boysen mentioned “learning about biological explanations of homosexuality does not universally increase positive attitudes.” (Vogel & Boysen p. 756). What they meant is that the people who had negative attitudes towards homosexuality did not change at all, because they already had a preexisting biased about homosexuality and the cause of the behavior. This shows that even with all the biological and psychological evidence possible, the people with negative attitudes will just use these well-founded evidences as excuses for their opinions to change on homosexuality. The study showed that people who viewed homosexuality in a positive way, before knowing the biological reasons, found the biological reasons more persuasive than those who had negative attitudes towards homosexuality. Homosexuality has not lost its stigma over the past few decades, but most of the negative attitudes come from not knowing whether homosexuality is biologically…

    African Americans were the targets of violence by lynching, beatings, and murders, while violence against gays tends to be more passive aggressive and not as apparent. However, physical violence still plays a part in the harassment of homosexuals. Those that are merely believed to be attracted to the same gender can be beaten or even killed. But the real killer is not the physical violence, but the emotional pain. The expression “words can kill” becomes too literal when discussing the hatred against gays.…

    If one were to look at crimes that are based on sexual orientation, the number of crimes is astounding. A hate crime based on one’s sexual orientation is when an individual is bullied, threatened, harassed, or even killed due to his or her sexual likings. For instance, look at Matthew Shepard. He was a gay man who was beaten and tied to a fence post and left for dead, all because he was gay. He was found several days later, but unfortunately he had died as a result of his injuries. The same applies for crimes that are religion and disability based.…

    According to The Leadership Conference, in 2007, the amount of hate crimes committed against homosexuals reached as high as 1,265, and they became the “third most frequent target of hate violence over the past decade.” In 2007, a man was fatally beaten outside of a bar in Greenville, South Carolina—he was openly gay. In 2008, a 28-year-old woman was raped by four men in Richmond, California—she was openly gay. Again, in 2008, a 15-year-old boy was shot twice in the head by a fellow classmate in Oxnard, California—he was openly gay. In all of those cases of hate crimes, offensive words were used to mock their homosexuality.…

    In society, everyone has a label. Based on what someone’s skin color is, their sexual orientation, who they hang out with, what their religion is, what they enjoy; sure enough there’s a label for that person. People are so quick to judge others over things they don’t understand, because the unknown and strange scare them. Some discriminate because they’ve been taught to, because they learned to discriminate from their parents/legal guardians. People who like the same sex are one of the groups who are frequently discriminated because it goes against a lot of things from religion, to this country’s founding values and upbringing. Homosexuals are discriminated to the point where they are considered second class citizens, all because of their sexual preferences. This country’s public opinion on homosexuals is similar to its public opinion of the Blacks in the 1600’s - 1960s because this country yearns to control what’s different.…
