Gay Rights Video

While searching for a video about homosexuality, I found this video that deals with gay rights in public schools in california. This is a video where 2 people are responding to a FOX news reports about teaching the children about gay rights activists and what they have accomplished. FOX news was very biased when talking about this subject and they thought it was completely inappropriate to teach children about homosexuality. It seems like they are afraid that if the children even learn about gay rights activists that the children will suddenly think its okay to be gay and turn into a homosexual. This logic honestly makes no sense and there is no reason why kids should not learn about gay rights activists because they are also historical figures who are fighting for a cause just the African Americans and women fighting for their rights. It is about teaching history not teaching children to be gay. I think this video explains why the FOX news report is biased in a way that is easy for everyone to understand because the video is not as formal as a news report.

Gender Roles

I found this article that I thought was very interesting that deals with gender roles of children who are raised by gay parents. I think society has an idea of how they think the children would grow up and how they would behave but after reading this article I learned that those ideas are false. The studies that have been done dealing with children raised in homosexual homes versus heterosexual homes prove that is not that a great different in how the children behave. Most studies have been done with lesbian mothers because there are fewer studies with gay fathers but however the results of these studies have been very interesting. Males who were raised by lesbian mothers tend to be less aggressive and more caring, and they are not forced to fit that typical male role of being tough and strong and playing agressive sports. Females raised by lesbian mothers tend to be fit the typical stereotype for being girly-girls because their mothers have no preference whether they play a sport or take dance classes and are also more likely to want to become doctors, lawyers, engineers and astronauts. Females however are more likely to be sexually adventurous while males are more likely to be chaste. These are just a few aspects of the gender roles that children take when they are raised by gay parents and this article goes more in depth about all aspects of the children's lives.

Article

While looking for an article dealing with homosexuality, I came across this article that was about the Pastor who pulled out of Obama inauguration benediction because of previous comments he made about homosexuality in the past. The presidential inaugural committee invited Rev. Louie Giglio to participate in the ceremony. Controversy started to arise when Rev. Louie Giglio's background was researched and the public found that in the mid 1990's, he made rude comments about homosexuality.Years ago Rev. Louie Giglio said "You come to only one conclusion: homosexuality is less than God's best for his creation. it is less than God's best for us, and everything in our lives that is less than God's best for us and his plan for us and his design for us is sin. That's God's voice." The public went crazy when they heard this statement and Rev. Louie Giglio backed out of the inauguration to avoid further controversy.
