LEGALIZATN OF GAY MARRIAGE

The legalizatn of same-sex marriage was a victor step forward for the LGB muny, but the discrimatory attu toward openly gay dividuals the workplace seems to have abscsed sce then. The Uned Stat has taken great stris toward creatg an acceptg environment for mori, but the way gay teachers are viewed tnal and other profsnal settgs is severely lackg the so-lled safe and upliftg environment that the school system pris themselv on. While several workplac have add “sexual orientatn” to their list of unacceptable discrimatn agast employe, openly gay teachers are fired for gettg engaged or married.

As someone terted beg a post-sendary teacher, ’s credibly disuragg to hear about, and personally experience, the backwards attu shown toward openly gay teachers.

While the Uned Stat is actually experiencg a shortage of teachers (Lynn), openly gay teachers are beg forced to rign or otherwise termated for simply beg open about their sexualy. This discrimatory attu toward openly gay dividuals and upg teachers alike sends a strong msage for those who are wantg to “e out of the closet” and be fortable wh their inty the workplace.

The stereotype-fueled bias agast gay teachers has led to the creatn of an unsteady atmosphere surroundg the very topic of anythg LGBT-related an tnal settg. But the abily to personally bond wh stunts through weddg pictur or ndid fay pictur seems to only apply to heterosexual teachers, as seen when Stacey Bailey was fired for phg the “gay agenda” on stunts through a siar prentatn (Gutterman). The “homosexual agenda” is nothg but a biased rhetoric that is very monly ed to jtify the excln of gay teachers om the classroom and based on the stereotype that gay teachers are pedophil and preyg on young children to “rec” them.

The argument that teachers are phg for a gay agenda is still ed today, and has been preached sce the late 70’s when Save Our Children was created by anti-gay activist Ana Bryant. 2)” has greatly impacted the current monologue often ed by adults, or ernor nome like Stt Lively, who fear for the swayg of a child’s “lite inty” via the posive troductn of homosexualy through nocent pictur of a lbian uple drsed as Fdg Nemo pictur. The excln of gay teachers om the classroom is unfortunately not a new ncept, and will likely take a few s to dismantle the homophobic fears so tightly wound to society over the years.

It’s time for society to unpack the fears and to ultimately stroy the systematic opprsn that is holdg , society as a whole, om progrsg beyond the means of homophobic rhetoric based on the fear of the unknown and the different typ of nuclear fai and norms.

SHOULD GAY MARRIAGE BE LEGAL?

Scholars and the general public beme creasgly terted the issue durg the late 20th century, a perd when attus toward homosexualy and laws regulatg homosexual behavur were liberalized, particularly wtern Europe and the Uned issue of same-sex marriage equently sparked emotnal and polil clash between supporters and opponents. Cultur that openly accepted homosexualy, of which there were many, generally had nonmaral tegori of partnership through which such bonds uld be exprsed and socially regulated.

Relig and secular expectatns of marriage and sexualy Over time the historil and tradnal cultur origally rerd by the lik of Bachofen and Man slowly succumbed to the homogenizatn imposed by lonialism. In other s, the cultural homogeney supported by the domant relign did not rult the applitn of doctre to the civic realm but may nohels have fostered a smoother seri of discsns among the cizenry: Belgium and Spa had legalized same-sex marriage, for stance, spe official opposn om their predomant relig stutn, the Roman Catholic Church.

Most of the world religns have at some pots their histori opposed same-sex marriage for one or more of the followg stated reasons: homosexual acts vlate natural law or dive tentns and are therefore immoral; passag sacred texts nmn homosexual acts; and relig tradn regniz only the marriage of one man and one woman as valid. If people live together a homosexual relatnship whout beg legally married, they do not enjoy the secury to protect what they have worked for and saved together. Acrdg to a 2009 study, legalizatn of civil unns or gay marriag do not any way negatively impact abortn rat, divorce, or marriage (Langbe & Yost, 2009).

1 percent of legally married gay upl end their relatnships as pared to the 2 percent annual divorce rate among oppose-sex upl (Badgett & Herman, 2011). A study report released 2010 showed that after some stat banned this kd of marriage, bisexuals, gays, and lbians livg there experienced a 248% rise generalized anxiety disorrs, a 42% crease alhol-e disorrs, and a 37% rise mood disorrs (Wter, Fort & Senac, 2017).

Gay marriage has been the subject of social, polil and relig bat for many years but over the past two s, the attu of the society towards same-sex marriage has changed. Acrdg to a study nducted the year 1965 vtigatg the attus of Amerins towards gay marriage, seventy percent of the rponnts were opposed to the ia of same-sex marriage cg s harmfulns to the Amerin life. In the early years, people were not exposed to issu of same-sex marriage, but the gay social movements foced on creasg the exposure of gay marriage, while advotg for their equal treatment (Keleher & Smh, 2018).
