Introduction Sexual orientation in the current society can be a great source of discrimination. Despite efforts to legalize the various sexual orientations, victimization and stigma resulting especially to gay persons cannot be ignored.

today's society, more and more works will not take sexual orientation as a factor to be considered. However, we have to admit that some of the more traditional industries are closed due to the corporate culture and are deeply influenced by traditional culture.

They are traits that set them apart from everyone else. The traits such as eye color, ones dominate hand, or susceptibility to a specific disease are a few traits that aren’t
This paper will discuss the victimization of those of different sexual orientations and different degrees of victimization as provided by news articles. This paper will also discuss the effects that victimization has on youths and adults as far as a higher rate for substance abuse, depression, suicide and other problems.

Hypothesis: Sexual orientation has an effect on one’s personality, even at birth. My Initial Hypothesis I believe that sexual orientation is not something that is learned. I believe that from the time we are born, we have imbedded in our minds our sexual preferences. I do not believe that a gay man is gay because of the choices that he has made in his life. I believe that he was born gay, but the choices and his environment have only reinforced it. Attachment is something that affects children

In this paper I will review a number of published
While Lost Girl presents a universalizing view of sexual orientation, it focuses on a minoritizing view of sexuality with Bo being labeled a succubus. The choice of her partner’s gender is decidedly less important than the specific sex acts she partakes in. As this relates to Axiom 2 of Sedgwick’s theory: “The study of sexuality is not coextensive with the study of gender; correspondingly, antihomophobic inquiry is not coextensive with feminist inquiry. But we can’t know in advance how they will
It is obvious that we all have a sexual orientation and a gender identity, and this shared fact means that discrimination against members of the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender community, based on sexual orientation and/ or gender identity, is an issue that transcends that community and affects those within that community. But did the Supreme Court ruling of 2015 really give acceptance to the LGBT community or polarize the nation? Sexual orientation covers sexual desires, feelings, practices

Why not? Every human being is capable of using free will therefore choosing their every action”
