Lesbian Issues and the Construct of Homosexuality in America
[ send me this paper ]
This 8 page report discusses homosexuality and focuses to a great
degree on lesbian issues and concerns. The feminist movement
largely changed perceptions of gender, and the gay and lesbian
movements significantly altered conceptions of sex, so that what
were once seen as permanent moral standards are now viewed as
historical and political constructions. As the report notes,
individual state hate crime statutes that exclude gay men and
lesbians from protection violate the Equal Protection Clause of
the Fourteenth Amendment by failing to protect homosexuals when
protecting members of other groups subject to hate-motivated
criminal activity. American society, as a whole, must understand
that it is denying guaranteed individual Americans fundamental
rights when it discriminates against gays and lesbians.

Links Between Sexuality and Gender
[ send me this paper ]
This 5 page report discusses
the fearfulness countless people experienced in terms of their
attitudes regarding homosexuality resulted in specific, often
erroneous, attributes being assigned to homosexuals -- the
masculine woman, the limp-wristed man. Nobody denies that men
and women are obviously different in terms of their reproductive
purposes and capabilities. However, what should also be
understood are the many ways of being female or male. Of the
many human issues that cannot be defines as either black or
white, human sexuality may be the most gray of them all.

Marcel Proust's "Sodom And Gomorrah" - Queer Theory

The concept of homosexuality has been an integral component of literary history; that myriad authors have employed it in both subtle and blatant fashion throughout the centuries speaks to its overwhelming presence.

Oscar Wilde: Reflection Of Homosexuality In His Works
[ send me this paper ]
7 pages in length. Did Oscar Wilde's homosexual tendencies provide the author with a hidden theme throughout his works? Some have argued that the author's anxieties with regard to his own homosexuality represents a subtle but obvious enough underlying theme. Although the characters in Oscar Wilde's stories are all in heterosexual relationships, critics contend that there exists an undercurrent of homosexual desire between and among the main characters. They cite that in many of his works, exposure of a secret sin or indiscretion and consequent disgrace is central in design, clearly symbolizing the author's penchant toward homosexuality throughout his literary creations. The writer discusses how one only needs to peruse the myriad pages of Wilde's works in order to ascertain the truth: there is no homosexual reference, hidden or otherwise. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

Psychosocial Functioning Of The Family
[ send me this paper ]
14 pages in length. Lisa was fed up with hiding the fact that she was a lesbian. While she was not quite sure how her family would react to such news, she had reached the end of her rope; no longer could she continue living a lie. If her mom and dad are not receptive to her sexual orientation,
she pondered, she was old enough to live on her own. To be sure, living in a house where homosexuality is a dirty word is no place for Lisa. Her brother, on the other hand, would
be openly accepting of her alternative lifestyle, inasmuch as he had always been the underdog who can relate to being different. Would that automatically brand her family as dysfunctional, even though her parents were pillars of the
community? On the outside, Lisa and her brother were always putting forth an image quite removed from their real selves as a means by which to uphold their parent's social representation. But now, thought Lisa, it was time for her to relinquish the deep-seated guilt associated with her
well-to-do white bread family and take back her own life. The writer discusses how her family reacts to the news, as well as how it impacts the family structure. Bibliography lists 17 sources.
