Homosexual Parenting: Pros & Cons
[ send me this paper ]
19 pages in length. People from all walks of life must endure social intolerance at one time or another; however, certain groups face prejudicial persecution on a regular basis. What is the answer for gays and lesbians who want to raise children beneath a homosexual umbrella that would bring a sense of peace and equity amidst the tenets of sexual discrimination? Many claim it is too much to hope for that social bias begin to wane in exchange for a more understanding and open-minded world, especially what lies at the foundation of all intolerance is a combination of fear and ignorance, an alliance that not only precludes the chance for security and peace but one that also encourages just the opposite. Understanding the extent to which more states allow homosexual parenting than those that do not is an important realization when examining which way the pendulum is currently swinging.

While homosexuality is gradually becoming a more and more commonly accepted component of our society, the Catholic Church remains one of the staunchest opponents to homosexuality.

[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page discussion of the contemporary views of the Catholic and Jewish religions on the topic of homosexuality.

Homosexuality and Young Adult Literature
[ send me this paper ]
This 6 page personal essay discusses homosexuality and the fact that it should be presented in young adult literature along with any other issue that will have an impact on a young person’s life. The author points out that there are people who think of it as a the most heinous of sins “against nature” and others who believe it is of no more relevance than the color of one’s eyes. And, of course, there are others who are convinced that they “aren’t bothered” by gays and lesbians but don’t understand why “they can’t just keep to themselves.” Each of these attitudes are attitudes which have evolved as the result of personal experience and belief systems, most of which were established before a person reached adulthood. What an adolescent or teen reads serves as an important component in shaping his or her beliefs. To deny that homosexuality exists r to declare it as a perversion or sin only serves to negate the existence of an entire group of people. No sources listed.

How Do Different Authors Deal With The Idea Of "Identity" Within The Gay Society In Pre-Stonewall America?
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. The history of gay and lesbian lifestyles has been fraught with a social defiance much like that which was present during the Salem witch hunts. Not only has this particular subpopulation been labeled 'perverts' and 'subversives,' but they have been forced to prove their collective right as members of society to pursue and uphold an identity no differently than their heterosexual counterparts. This identity came under a great deal of scrutiny during pre-stonewall America, a fact made quite evident by the way in which various authors of the time dealt with the concept.
