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.

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.

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. 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.
