First Thoughts
I picked this topic because it has been something that has always been talked about when I was growing up. I was surrounded by the stereotypes and everything. I grew up around people who were extremely accepting though, as my aunt is a lesbian and she has a partner and two children, so it really hits home there. I feel that the LGBT community has not gotten the amount of attention that they deserve. Schools have done more to promote acceptanceof gays and lesbians, but I feel that people need to know much more. People are still calling homosexuals fags and dykes and I dont find that acceptable at all. Gays and lesbians are also depicted in the media in ways that are not accurate. People need to understand more about this group of people and realize that they are just the same as everyone else.
