There are many people who sexual preference differ from
others. An intimate relationship
involves physical attraction between people both the same sex and the opposite
sex. Love is the attraction that
connects two people. Nearly all
relationships encounters are prone to microaggressions; unfortunately, in this
humanity, racism continues to pestilence the world about same-sex
relationships. Therefore, it would be
significant to understand the historical and present societal definition of
different forms of sexual orientation.
It is disastrous, that in today’s culture people with a
homosexual or bisexual orientation have been denounced whether intentional or
unintentional behavior. Nevertheless,
lesbian, gay and bisexual people will deal with bias, discrimination and
violence in today’s society and, in some cases, in their some families, schools
and communities. It is imperative to
comprehend that people are sensitive to their cultural briefs and value diverse
cultural. No one is born racist but no
one born into this society is immune to its distortions, interwoven into all
aspects of life (Margles, S & Margles, R.M., 2010).

Barbara, I liked reading your post. I agree with you about racism and same-sex marriages. Though both are forever in the media, racism still tops same-sex marriage. Racism is not a born behavior but a taught/learned behavior. The LGBT community deal with discrimination daily. Mechan Smith
ReplyDeleteBarbara,
ReplyDeleteI can relate to the information shared in your blog. I have relatives who are involved in a same-sex relationship. My family for the most part has accepted the relationships. However, some of the family still struggle with these types of relationships.
Barbara,
ReplyDeleteGreat post! We have an uncle who is gay and live in Florida. He moved to Florida so that he could successfully have relationships with other men and not offend his family. My husbands family is not all in acceptance of Uncle Jon being gay. We visited him last year around spring break and encouraged him to live as though we were not there. He chose not to but we would make private phone calls and even went to the gym a couple times, all by himself.
I appreciated reading your blog. I grew up having gay slur tossed at me throughout school. Although I am straight and have never wanted a relationship with another man, I had to face the same abuse. As an African American being gay was the worst insult one could make. So I was label as gay because I didn't dress in the latest urban wares, and it took a little longer for my voice to change. Even in college I got label as gay because I had friends who were openly gay. Not that I am hurt about it, but I even had girls chose not to have a relationship with me because there was a rumor that I was gay.
