Recommended: Gay rights movements in the us

My topic has become a big part in the United States today. The gay rights topic has made many head-linning news stories in the past few years. The bullying and suicides in the Anoka, Minnesota school district has made an impact on so many peoples lives and made them think about their decisions. The Anoka-Hennepin school district serves the areas of Anoka, Champlin, Coon Rapids, and parts of Andover, Blaine, Brooklyn Center, Brooklyn Park, Dayton, Fridley, Ham Lake, Nowthen, Oak Grove and Ramsey. A story that really stood out to me was the story of Justin Aaberg. He was just going to start school at Anoka High School when his mother asked "So are you sure you are gay?" Justin first replied with a soft voice "I'm pretty sure I'm gay," but then quickly corrected himself and answered abruptly "I'm positive I'm gay." Justin was ready to start new especially after ending his middle school years the way he did. Justin came out to a few friends at the end of his eighth grade year but that's when everything started going downhill. At the beginning of ninth grade year when justin thought t...

  • Transgenderism Essay

    1681 Words  | 4 Pages

    I chose the topic of transgenderism. Transgender is when an individual tries to switch genders. Transgender comes from the Latin words trans, meaning “across.” Transgender literally means “across gender.” Many trans-individuals decided later on in their lives that they want to switch genders, and other people argue that they were born the wrong gender. Trans-people experience many difficulties throughout their lives. Switching genders makes their lives more challenging, because of many reasons. Their lives are more challenging because of their religion, whether or not they are accepted. The military is very strict, and will not accept trans individuals whatsoever. Insurance companies sometimes will not accept them as well. Trans people are not always accepted by certain occupations. Growing up in schools, trans people are all treated differently regarding to which bathroom/locker room to use. There is a huge debate whether or not trans students are even allowed to participate on sports teams, and if they are, which team to be on. Other obstacles such as birth certificates, passports, and driver’s licenses are all major issues as well. Trans people have to decide if they are willing to come forward, and say ‘This is who I am.’ But before trans-people can come out to other, they must come out to

  • Filibuster

    The topic I have chosen to write about is the filibuster. The filibuster is a very important and unique issue in American government. The filibuster is used in the Senate to slow up or derail bills. It is also used to block judicial nominees, threatened most recently to be used against Judge Alito. It is a very strong tool especially to the minority party. The minority can use it to make a point or to try and get their way. The filibuster may be very upsetting to the majority party but will be very important to them when they one day become the minority party.

Luckily, I made a friend in my English as a Second Language (ESL) class, she was from the DR as well but unlike me she knew a little bit of English. She helped me at lot with school work, communicating with people, and even understanding the reasons why some people gave me weird looks. I always loved colorful things, so my book bag had like a rainbow of colors. So, this one day we were sitting in the lunchroom when these girls sitting beside us were talking about me and I did not even know what was going on. So my friend said to me, Jennifer, they are talking about you, they are saying you are lesbian because of the colors of your book bag. I was so shocked. I could not believe colors could define your sexual orientation. Who would have thought that because of my book bag I probably had half of the school thinking I was gay? This was new to me and I did not think it was fair but still I went and got a new book bag because I did not want to be seen that way, I wanted to fit

They are able to make money to support their family or loved ones with ease. If their workplace is not safe they could end up using the money they make to pay their medical bills or they could be fired. The people who work around the world are already large in number and continuously increasing. While there are a number of those workers who die from injuries at work or contract a disease from a fellow worker and spread it farther than it should have spread. Although there has been a decline in work related injuries and deaths there are still people who are dying from
