LGBTQ Issues

          I think we still need LGBT activists to introduce diversity into the world. When we have activists that are LGBT it brings a new concept and outlook in life and brings up new ideas. It shows us how people in the world want to make everyone equal and should have equal rights from the beginning. Having LGBT activists help the world become more open-minded to new things. They help people see what others are struggling for in their lives and what it may feel like to be themselves. It gives other people an opportunity to have the right to be themselves openly, whether homosexual or heterosexual. The fact that we have openly Gay activists makes people feel more comfortable and safe. It makes people feel safe in the way that they are not alone and there are other people on their side who have more power than them, other than having a hetero-normative society all the time. The world needs to know that Gay people aren't just going to go away and that there are going to be activists that are homosexual. The world is changing and LGBT activist show that to everyone and have new ideas to work with homosexuality around the world. Having Gay activists show our children that this world is open to new things, new ideas, and that there are people out there who will support your ideas. What makes Gay activists so important is that it mainly shows, the world is changing and we are changing with it. It's important to have diversity in the world, not be the same all of the time. They show that the world is changing with new ideas and we want to change to accompany those ideas. Make the world a better, more safe, and liveable environment, for everyone. Gay activists are important in a way that they give people hope. People who are LGBT or not, have hope from Gay activists that the world is going to change and the world is going to be a better place. It helps people who are having trouble with their sexuality who may think that suicide is an option. Gay activists stop that, they stop that by being themselves. By being an openly Gay politician and showing people that they are here, here to help others, not just the LGBT community. They stand up for what they believe, they don't conform all of the time. If everyone conformed, then there would not be different religions, there would not be different races of people, there would not be stylish clothing, there would not be electronic devices, there would not be agriculture, there would not be diversity. There would not be change in anything. We would all be wearing grey clothing, eating raw food, having diseases with no cures, we would all be sad at the same time, we would all be predictable, we would all be boring. Gay activists are important to society, they are important because they bring diversity, acceptance and the change that we need in this world.

  1. Well argued. I would have liked to have seen mention of specific examples of LGBTQ+ activists, however, I did appreciate the use of some of the more difficult terms like heteronormative.
