Gay Rights

In America, we are going through another civil rights movement, but this movement is different. This movement is an almost silent protest for gay rights. There may not be giant parades and marches, but they are protesting. The gay community of America is gaining support and it needs too. Sexual orientation should not limit any citizen in our country. Our gay and lesbian citizens can gain even more support by teaching our children to be more tolerate. It is ingrained in our minds at a young age that "gay" is an insult and kids to this day still use as so, maybe not even realizing how offensive that term is in that context. We need to stop teaching our kids that "gay" is wrong and we need to teach to be accepting of others.

  1. I agree a person should not be denied rights just because of their sexual preference. I also agree that homosexual citizens can teach our youth to be more tolerable.
