It identifies several key resources discussed in class, including articles about the Deaf and queer communities tackling oppression together and a Texas teacher who was barred from teaching after showing a photo of her wife. Mykenzie notes their interest in teaching and protections for LGBTQ teachers. The document also references in-class discussions of a discrimination map and Rosie O'Donnell's adoption issues. Mykenzie's issue focus is on supporting LGBTQ youth and the need for queer youth spaces. The future of the queer movement is seen as needing to focus on disadvantaged groups and achieving equality for all queer people.

Gender & Sexuality: Overview
This document discusses gender, sexuality, and sexual rights. It covers several key topics:
1) Gender and sexuality are influenced by many social and cultural factors and norms around them can cause suffering if people's sexualities do not conform or fit into limited channels.
2) A sexual rights framework promotes justice around sexuality and gender, including the right to pursue safe and pleasurable sexual lives.
3) Movements have advocated for greater recognition of sexual rights through international agreements, but political and cultural opposition remains in some contexts.
Lgbt movement
This document summarizes key aspects of the LGBT movement. It begins by defining the terms LGBT, lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender. It then discusses the biological basis for sexuality, noting research showing biological influences on brain development related to sexual orientation. The document outlines discrimination and legal issues faced by the LGBT community, such as discrimination in the workplace, family issues, and ambiguity in laws. It describes the history of LGBT rights movements in Europe and the US. In conclusion, it argues that LGBT people should have the same rights as others and that issues they face are often due to biological and environmental factors rather than inherent flaws.
LGBT
Lesbian refers to a woman attracted to other women. Gay refers to a man attracted to other men. Bisexual refers to attraction to both males and females. Transgender is a general term for those whose gender identity differs from their birth sex. Several myths about LGBT people are dispelled by facts, including that homosexuality is not an illness that can be cured and that one's sexual orientation is determined early in life, not by seduction. While LGBT people experience higher rates of mental health issues and substance abuse, this is due to societal stress rather than sexual orientation itself.
Lexi's Gay Relationships PowerPoint
The document discusses issues related to gay rights and same-sex relationships. It argues that gay marriage should be legal to ensure equal rights for all.

Presetnation on feminist perspectives on sex and gender
This document summarizes feminist perspectives on the concepts of sex and gender. It discusses:
1. The distinction between sex (biological) and gender (socially constructed), and debates around this. While some argue gender is socially imposed, others see biology as influencing behavior.
2. Gender as a social construct, influenced by factors like gender socialization from a young age and societal expectations that define femininity and masculinity.
3. Critiques of the sex/gender distinction and debates around defining sex, gender, and their relationship. Some argue the distinction is too simplistic and does not capture the complexity of gender identities.
4. In conclusion, the document notes that feminists still
Defining Gender and Sexuality
This document defines key terms around gender and sexuality, including sex, gender, gender identity, and sexual orientation. It discusses that while the traditional model views gender as binary and linked to sexuality, models like the Authentic Gender Model see these as more complex with multiple possibilities that may not match sex or sexuality. It addresses issues like transgender identity and experiences, as well as challenges like bullying faced by LGBT youth and efforts to create greater acceptance and support.

Lgbt final
The document discusses LGBT rights and advocacy in Kentucky. It provides demographic data showing 3.9% of Kentucky's adult population identifies as LGBT. While some cities have non-discrimination ordinances, statewide protections do not exist. The largest advocacy organizations work to promote legislation protecting LGBT individuals from discrimination and to educate the public. Strategies for influencing policy include community events, lobbying lawmakers, and appealing to shift public opinion over time.
Gender sexuality and heterosexuality
The document discusses three dimensions of the social that shape understandings of gender, sexuality, and heterosexuality. The structural dimension refers to patterned social relations that shape the social order through institutionalizing gender hierarchy and heterosexuality via mechanisms like law and the state. It legitimizes specific relationship forms. Everyday social practices also reproduce heteronormativity. While change is possible, heteronormativity continues to privilege monogamous coupledom and marginalize non-heterosexual relationships.
Same-Sex & Sociology
The document discusses President Obama's 2012 declaration of support for same-sex marriage, marking the first time a sitting US president backed gay marriage. It led to both immediate reactions and a potential impact on society, as support for gay rights could lead to a more equal society but also problems for Obama and traditional views of family. The document also examines same-sex relationships through the lens of sociological theories like conflict theory and functionalism, and explores why same-sex marriage has been considered taboo and deviant in society.
Capitalism, Race, and the Struggle for Equality
This document discusses critical race theory and the intersection of race and class. It makes three key points:
1) Race and class are co-constitutive and intersect at individual, group, and societal levels, shaping identity and inequality over time. The exclusion of non-whites from New Deal programs entrenched structural racial inequality.
2) Opportunity structures in domains like housing, employment, education sort individuals and groups in racialized ways. A shift is needed to examine how institutions collectively racialize opportunities.
3) Corporate power increasingly shapes key areas of life and diminishes public and private spaces, with implications for civil rights that are debated in issues like Citizens United.

Both positive impacts like narrowing pay gaps and negative impacts are discussed. The conclusion advocates for equal rights and opportunities for both men and women.
Week 7: Race and Ethnicity
This document discusses key concepts related to race and ethnicity. It defines race as a socially constructed category based on perceived biological characteristics. While race has no biological basis, it is a meaningful social reality with real social consequences. Racial categories are fluid and have changed over time based on social and political factors. Ethnicity refers to cultural characteristics and identities can shift based on one's social context. Minority groups experience unequal treatment and discrimination, both overt and institutional, while maintaining in-group solidarity. Interracial relationships challenge social norms of endogamy. Sociological perspectives view the social functions and dysfunctions of racial hierarchies as well as how conflict and competition between racial groups develop.
Lgbt power point
This document discusses educational and social issues faced by LGBT students in U.S. schools.

Health Advocacy for LGBT community: Stakholders and Power Analysis
The document discusses issues faced by the LGBT community in India including homophobia, marginalization, health issues, family rejection, discrimination in employment, negative media portrayals, barriers to healthcare, and criminalization under Section 377. It analyzes stakeholders in advocating for LGBT rights and health issues. Key stakeholders that could influence change are the government, judiciary, international organizations, religious bodies, NGOs, LGBT community groups, and the media. The power of these stakeholders comes from policies, laws, funding, social influence, and collective advocacy efforts to build support and empower the LGBT community. While some progress has been made, more advocacy is still needed to ensure equal rights and end discrimination based on sexual orientation.
History Of Gay Rights In The Us Power
Homosexuality and gay rights have changed drastically in the United States over the past century. Historically, homosexuality was seen as a mental illness, but it is now more widely accepted with some states legalizing gay marriage. Currently, 11 states recognize civil unions or same-sex marriages, though many oppose expanding LGBTQ+ rights. Over time, more people have advocated for equal treatment of gay individuals through protests, lawsuits, and political participation. However, religion and traditional views of marriage have also posed obstacles to reforming policies around sexual orientation and gender identity.
Sexual Diversity
This document discusses sexual diversity and defines various terms related to gender identity and sexual orientation. It notes that discrimination based on sexual orientation still exists and defines terms like gay, lesbian, transgender and intersex. It then discusses hate crimes against the LGBT community, noting that such crimes often involve extreme brutality and torture. The document encourages recognizing and embracing sexual diversity through events like sexual diversity week and media campaigns, as well as avoiding labeling people.
Heterosexism Powerpoint
Heterosexism is a system that values heterosexuality over other sexual orientations. This has negative effects on the LGBT community, including institutional discrimination through policies restricting marriage, military service, and employment rights for LGBT individuals. Heterosexism also contributes to higher rates of hate crimes, depression, suicide, and substance abuse among LGBT people. While acceptance of LGBT individuals has increased over time, heterosexism remains built into social institutions and negatively impacts the lives of LGBT individuals.
Welcome
The document discusses women's rights from historical and current perspectives. It begins by outlining the objectives of examining issues related to women's rights, citizenship, and development. It then discusses how women's rights refer to the freedoms and entitlements of women and girls that may be ignored or suppressed in some societies. Several key women's rights are mentioned like rights to own property, freedom of expression, and participation in government. The document also examines laws against domestic violence in India. While progress has been made, issues still remain regarding reproductive rights, violence against women, and achieving full equality and justice. The struggles for women's rights have evolved over the past centuries from a focus on political equality to social and cultural equality.
Problem of human d iversity sexualities

It also explains concepts like heterosexism, homophobia, and biphobia. The document discusses sociological perspectives on sexuality including functionalism, conflict theory, and queer theory. It also examines cultural origins of homophobia and proposes solutions for LGBT discrimination such as education and creating an open dialogue.
A review & summary of sexual strangers by
This document summarizes chapters 5 and 6 from the book Sexual Strangers by Shane Phelan. Chapter 5 discusses how bisexual and transgender individuals experience secondary marginalization within LGBT communities through rejection and appropriation. Chapter 6 examines how citizenship for LGBT individuals has relied on assimilation, and argues that citizenship must recognize strangeness through an active embrace of difference. The document provides an overview of the key points and arguments made in each chapter.
LGBTQQIA training
This document discusses cultural sensitivity regarding sexual orientation, gender identity, and expression. It begins by defining common terms used in the LGBTQQIA community, explaining that gender and sexuality exist on spectrums rather than as simple binaries. It then discusses the discrimination and violence faced by LGBTQQIA individuals, particularly transgender people and those who are racial minorities. Finally, it argues that the traditional gender binary system imposed harmful Western colonialist views and erased the acceptance of non-binary identities found in many non-Western cultures. The document advocates recognizing one's privilege to give marginalized voices opportunity to speak and progress liberation from the bottom up.

What Do We Mean by LGBTQ Issues?
It`s all the difficulties they face in their life such as marriage, Job, Health care, Education, Travel, etc ).
4 LGBTQ Issues That Matter More Than Marriage:
1. Queer and Trans* Youth Homelessness
40% of homeless youth identify as LGBT. 68% of those kids were kicked out of their families and homes because of their sexual orientation and/or gender identity, and 54% reported being survivors of abuse from their families. These experiences leave these young people particularly vulnerable to mental and physical health issues, and lead to unfair criminalization of queer and trans* youth.
4 LGBTQ Issues That Matter More Than Marriage:
2. Violence Against Queer and Trans* People
There were 2,000 incidents of anti-LGBT hate violence in 2012. In the past few months, we’ve seen the murder of Islan Nettles (a trans* woman) and the shooting of Mark Carson (a gay man). In May, there were at least 7 anti-LGBT attacks in New York City alone
4 LGBTQ Issues That Matter More Than Marriage:
3. Health
There exist significant disparities in health between heterosexual and LGBT people. The Center for American Progress identified 14 health disparities between straight and LGBT adults in 2009. For example, 82% of heterosexual adults had health insurance, while only 77% of LGB adults, and 57% of transgender adults, had health insurance. Similarly, 83% of heterosexual adults reported excellent or very good health, compared to only 77% of LGB adults and 67% of transgender adults. The expansion of access to health care in the U.S. should be a priority of the LGBT movement, beyond accessing a spouse’s medical plan through legalized marriage.
4 LGBTQ Issues That Matter More Than Marriage:
4. Trans* Justice
Empowerment of trans* people must be central to the movement for LGBT justice. Many trans* people live in extreme poverty, and are almost four times more likely than heterosexual and LGB people to have a household income of less than $10,000 per year. 41% of trans* people have attempted suicide, compared to 1.6% of the general population. Trans* people are consistently abused, discriminated against, harassed, and assaulted. Too often, the “T” gets excluded from LGBT initiatives and campaigns. We have to realize that we can’t have LGBT/queer justice without trans* justice.

Discrimination Against LGBT Community
Audience: People who believe homosexuality is wrong and people who do not have much information about it.
The human being is born endowed with biological characteristics that frame him as a male or female individual. In this context, several sexual behaviors diverge from this established biologic pattern, which causes social conflicts such as prejudice and exclusion. It occurs not only because of the attitudes of gender intolerance present in society but also because of the pre-established roles imposed on the individual.
There is an undeniable feature about an old, and very well-established power relationship as a pillar of society, especially that considered western: oppression. Silent or scandalous, shrewd or disguised as legitimate – for some – it is still present, certainly persistent in the “modern” era, after so many centuries of patient construction to define and segregate the oppressed and the oppressors.
Throughout history, the resistance and struggle of minorities against a system that only tends to fortify the dehumanization of human beings who differ from the oppressor in any respect are remarkable. The struggle of blacks, women, and, more recently, sexual and gender diversity has already been seen. The latter is perhaps the strongest that will shake the pyramid for a simple fact: sexuality or even the lack of it, as well as complex gender issues, are inherent in human nature and can be repressed and even shaped – suppressed exclamations – by heteronomy and its companion “cissexism”, which dictates the existence of only two genders defined by the individual's genitalia at birth.
It is important to emphasize that hetero norm and cisgender existence are deeply rooted oppression in society that broken, corrupts, and compromise the revolting stability of the pyramid, and favoring unsettle the oppressor, making him try at all costs to legitimize them to the base of the most diverse and absurd fallacies. This attempt that shows success in religious, moralistic, and conservative discourses, extends to the mainstream media, schools and reaffirming itself in homes and family circles, to silence and repress - even with the use of violence – something so fundamental to all of us: the freedom to be.
Moonlight: under the moonlight, was considered the best film of the year 2017 by the Oscars, the movie portrays the dramas lived by the protagonist Chiron, among them, the discovery of his sexuality and the offenses suffered due to it. This scenario was recurrent for me because I also live daily with prejudice and hatred.
Alan Turing, the father of computing, who contributed to unraveling the Nazi codes and, consequently, shortening wartime, had his life ended by chemical castration as punishment for being gay at that time. In this context, this deep-rooted discrimination persists and, mainly, because of a conservative wave supported by the Ev ...

There were 2,000 incidents of anti-LGBT hate violence in 2012. In the past few months, we’ve seen the murder of Islan Nettles (a trans* woman) and the shooting of Mark Carson (a gay man). In May, there were at least 7 anti-LGBT attacks in New York City alone
4 LGBTQ Issues That Matter More Than Marriage:
3. Health
There exist significant disparities in health between heterosexual and LGBT people. The Center for American Progress identified 14 health disparities between straight and LGBT adults in 2009. For example, 82% of heterosexual adults had health insurance, while only 77% of LGB adults, and 57% of transgender adults, had health insurance. Similarly, 83% of heterosexual adults reported excellent or very good health, compared to only 77% of LGB adults and 67% of transgender adults. The expansion of access to health care in the U.S. should be a priority of the LGBT movement, beyond accessing a spouse’s medical plan through legalized marriage.

4. Trans* Justice
Empowerment of trans* people must be central to the movement for LGBT justice. Many trans* people live in extreme poverty, and are almost four times more likely than heterosexual and LGB people to have a household income of less than $10,000 per year. 41% of trans* people have attempted suicide, compared to 1.6% of the general population. Trans* people are consistently abused, discriminated against, harassed, and assaulted. Too often, the “T” gets excluded from LGBT initiatives and campaigns. We have to realize that we can’t have LGBT/queer justice without trans* justice.

draining to be women. He then decides to see men only but no one man for more than three
nights. The book delves into the uncomfortable issue that many people deal with, but are
unwilling to pursue; that is, conflicted sexua ...

Discrimination Against LGBT Community
Audience: People who believe homosexuality is wrong and people who do not have much information about it.
The human being is born endowed with biological characteristics that frame him as a male or female individual. In this context, several sexual behaviors diverge from this established biologic pattern, which causes social conflicts such as prejudice and exclusion. It occurs not only because of the attitudes of gender intolerance present in society but also because of the pre-established roles imposed on the individual.
There is an undeniable feature about an old, and very well-established power relationship as a pillar of society, especially that considered western: oppression. Silent or scandalous, shrewd or disguised as legitimate – for some – it is still present, certainly persistent in the “modern” era, after so many centuries of patient construction to define and segregate the oppressed and the oppressors.
Throughout history, the resistance and struggle of minorities against a system that only tends to fortify the dehumanization of human beings who differ from the oppressor in any respect are remarkable. The struggle of blacks, women, and, more recently, sexual and gender diversity has already been seen. The latter is perhaps the strongest that will shake the pyramid for a simple fact: sexuality or even the lack of it, as well as complex gender issues, are inherent in human nature and can be repressed and even shaped – suppressed exclamations – by heteronomy and its companion “cissexism”, which dictates the existence of only two genders defined by the individual's genitalia at birth.
It is important to emphasize that hetero norm and cisgender existence are deeply rooted oppression in society that broken, corrupts, and compromise the revolting stability of the pyramid, and favoring unsettle the oppressor, making him try at all costs to legitimize them to the base of the most diverse and absurd fallacies. This attempt that shows success in religious, moralistic, and conservative discourses, extends to the mainstream media, schools and reaffirming itself in homes and family circles, to silence and repress - even with the use of violence – something so fundamental to all of us: the freedom to be.
Moonlight: under the moonlight, was considered the best film of the year 2017 by the Oscars, the movie portrays the dramas lived by the protagonist Chiron, among them, the discovery of his sexuality and the offenses suffered due to it. This scenario was recurrent for me because I also live daily with prejudice and hatred.
Alan Turing, the father of computing, who contributed to unraveling the Nazi codes and, consequently, shortening wartime, had his life ended by chemical castration as punishment for being gay at that time. In this context, this deep-rooted discrimination persists and, mainly, because of a conservative wave supported by the Ev ...
Introduction to Women's and Gender Studies Lecture
I took many of the slides from the powerpoint presentation called Intro to Gender 2000, but I adapted the slideshow for my own use. I also used the template provided by the slideshow. I provide a link to the original at the end of the slideshow.
Coming out
This document discusses several studies related to coming out experiences for LGBTQ individuals. It summarizes findings that disclosure of sexual orientation often helps with relationship building and self-esteem, but also carries risks due to potential stigma. One study found that responses from family members upon coming out included support through actions, support to preserve family bonds, avoidance, and distancing. The document also describes the author's survey of LGBTQ youth, finding that responses upon coming out were most often supportive, though the sample size was small.
LGBTQ Youth: School-based Intervention adn Support
This document outlines an agenda for a workshop on supporting LGBTQ youth in schools. The agenda includes an overview of LGBTQ terminology, discussions of queer identity and experience, issues like violence, suicide and substance abuse among queer youth, and strategies for building empathy and safety for LGBTQ students. The workshop also covers interventions for individual, structural and cultural change, such as developing awareness, knowledge and skills to support queer youth, implementing inclusive policies, and promoting acceptance in the community.
Q2Module4-SocialInequality.pptaksksndnsn
Social inequality exists when resources are distributed unevenly within a society. It often affects groups like women, ethnic/racial minorities, LGBT individuals, and those with disabilities who face discrimination and are denied equal opportunities and treatment. These groups experience social stratification where dominant social groups have more power and privilege while minority groups have lower social status and fewer rights. Prejudice, stereotyping, and other forms of discrimination further marginalize these minority groups in society. Laws and policies can help address inequality by promoting equal rights and protections for disadvantaged groups.
LGBT.docx
This document discusses discrimination faced by transgender individuals in America. It provides examples of legal discrimination faced by Christine Jorgensen and Howard Knox when seeking marriage. Transgender individuals experience high rates of hate-motivated violence and suicide due to societal stigma and pressure. Many states are advancing bills targeting transgender rights by restricting healthcare access, use of public facilities, and allowing religiously-motivated discrimination. Transgender women of color face additional discrimination due to their race and gender identity.
Cultural Competence Experience
1) The LGBT community began emerging in the 20th century with the formation of early rights groups like the Daughters of Bilitis and the Mattachine Society. The Stonewall riots in 1969 marked the beginning of widespread gay and lesbian activism.
2) Members of the LGBT community face unique health problems like higher rates of certain cancers, mental health issues, and suicide due to discrimination, stigma, and stress. Elders in particular experience more isolation and difficulties accessing social services.
3) After interacting with members of the local LGBT organization Haven, the author gained a new understanding and acceptance of the community as fellow humans who simply want respect and freedom to live openly without judgment.
Abolish the Family: A manifesto for care and liberation(Sophie Lewis 2022)...
This document summarizes key parts of Sophie Lewis's book "Abolish the Family". It discusses the history of ideas around family abolition from thinkers like Plato, Charles Fourier, Alexandra Kollontai, and Shulamith Firestone. Fourier advocated for communal living and sexuality, seeing the family as privatizing care. Kollontai promoted socializing reproductive labor and seeing sexuality as a comradely matter. Firestone called for abolishing gender roles, the family unit, and liberating children through technology like ectogenesis. The document also notes debates around which families should be abolished, and tensions between treasuring resistant non-white family structures while aiming to abolish the family's privatization of care.
