Gay Discrimination is Wrong
[ send me this paper ]
A 6 page research paper/essay that offers a rebuttal to a 1995 essay by Jeff Jordan, a professor of philosophy at the University of Delaware, who argues that, in some circumstances, discrimination against homosexuals is morally and ethically justifiable. Specifically, Jordan argues that it is not only legally permissible but morally permissible, in fact, morally preferable, for the state to maintain prohibitions against same-sex marriage. Close examination of Jordan's argument demonstrates that his position does not hold up under scrutiny. Jordan not only fails to make his argument persuasively, but it suffers under the weight of points that Jordan himself brings up. Bibliography lists 3 sources.

Gay Identity
[ send me this paper ]
An 11 page research paper that explores the processes involved in developing a positive gay/lesbian identity. David Leavitt's short story "Territory" describes and suggests a great deal about the problematic nature of relationships that young gays and lesbians have with their families or origin and how this affects their sense of identity. Within the course of Leavitt's narrative, a young man makes the final transition from an insecure adolescent identity toward a more positive fully-adult identity that is inclusive of his sexual orientation. The issues raised by Leavitt provide a rough framework for further discussion about the problems inherent in establishing a sense of an adult-self within the context of alternative sexual orientation. Bibliography lists 8 sources.

Gay Images On Prime Time Television: Their Impact Upon Mainstream And Gay Society, Socially And Economically
[ send me this paper ]
15 pages in length. The influence of prime time media is both vast and far-reaching in its ability to educate, inform and enlighten the viewing public. When the topic of homosexuality began to creep its way into prime time television with the significant popularity of Ellen, people were not too terribly concerned with the fact that the show's star, Ellen DeGeneres, was a lesbian; what they appreciated more was that she was funny. When she used her show as a vehicle for coming out, she not only opened the door for other gays and lesbians to acknowledge their true selves, but her courage also served to fortify the viewing public with a much more grounded perception of an alternative lifestyle that has historically been looked upon with judgment and disdain. Bibliography lists 15 sources.

Gay, Lesbian And Transgendered Society: A Race Of Its Own
[ send me this paper ]
16 pages in length. Sexual orientation is no longer a private matter. Instead, contemporary society has taken it upon itself to scrutinize, judge and condemn the most private part of an individual's existence and deem him or her unworthy of acceptance under traditional social dictates. The overwhelming intolerance inherently associated with homosexuality is akin to the overwhelming cultural intolerance experienced for centuries; with gays, lesbians and the transgendered community representing today's particular focus of social prejudice, one can readily argue that since the idea of race has to everything to do with a community of people, homosexuals have earned the right to call themselves a race. Bibliography lists 14 sources.

Gays and Lesbians in the Military: The Moral and Ethical Impact of the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" Policy
[ send me this paper ]
A 14 page examination of a very complex
issue. The author asserts the military's approach is short-sited. The military must open its eyes and look to other professional arenas where the
issue of homosexuality has taken a more visible stance. Despite the continued protest from those that oppose allowing alternate sexual orientation
to surface in the military, the military is a place of employment and the same concerns which arise in regard to homosexual right emerge there just
as they do among civilians. One's sexual orientation does not impact one's ability to do a job. Bibliography lists 10 sources.

Gays/Lesbian Perception Within Minority Groups And Jewish Stereotypes Circa World War II
[ send me this paper ]
6 pages in length. Gay and lesbian members of minority groups receive the same level of disdain as they do from those outside their subpopulation. Indeed, one would expect gays and lesbians to be supported within their particular minority community, however, just because someone is Latino, black or Asian does not automatically mean he or she will embrace anymore social tolerance than anyone else. The ways in which Jews were stereotyped by the German people during the period before World War II are well documented by illustrating how at the time of World War I, totalitarianism was taking a stronghold upon Europe institutions, while the Great Depression proved to threaten the very character and destiny of Western civilization. Bibliography lists 14 sources.

Gloria Anzaldua
[ send me this paper ]
A 10 page research paper that discusses the fascinating career of this extraordinary writer. The life of Gloria Evangelina Anzaldua (1942-2004) was remarkable, as she was a "poet, thinker and activist," who death robbed the world far too soon of a vibrant intellect and a compelling writer (Oboler 296). Anzaldua will be remember as a feminist and also as a lesbian who wrote compelling about gay rights and argued persuasively for toleration and love. However, among her many accomplishments, her contribution to the "collective examination of the tenuous location of Latinas and Latinos within the contours" of American culture is perhaps where she will be remembered best. Bibliography lists 14 sources.

Group Counseling For The HIV/AIDS Population
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. The HIV/AIDS population faces
considerably more challenges than other members of society, in that they have to struggle just to achieve a modicum of acceptance. Their societal counterparts, who are frequently ignorant to deeper issues surrounding the disease, often unknowingly make them feel inadequate and worthless when it
comes their life choices. Incorporating group counseling as a means by which to overcome the not-so-invisible boundaries that intrude upon an individual's right to exist is a most effective way to address the inherent fear, isolation and depression associated with HIV/AIDS, as well as win back a person's sense of self. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

Herve Guibert's "To The Friend : Who Did Not Save My Life"
[ send me this paper ]
3 pages in length. The social and political implications of AIDS boils down to a matter of privacy, a point clearly addressed in Herve Guibert's "To The Friend : Who Did Not Save My Life." Clearly, a fine line exists between what the public needs to know and an individual's right to privacy. Guibert's implication is that it is obvious that there is no redeeming factor in knowing who is affected by AIDS and who is not, inasmuch as there is still no cure. It makes absolutely no sense to put people through the pain and suffering of exposing themselves to an already hostile community; by doing so, the HIV-infected person only stands to receive incessant persecution for something that cannot be helped at this point in time. No additional sources cited.
