Do I Have Freedom of Speech?

Many people of the LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender) community feel as though they do not have the Freedom of Speech that the United States’ Bill of Rights defines. The reason why they feel this way is because they feel as though they do not have the gay rights that they deserve. They feel that Freedom of Speech is all about expression. They feel that they are not truly able to express themselves because they do not have the gay rights that are so dear to them. They feel that they are muted from letting all the colors on their palette show because they have not yet obtained the gay rights that they are fighting for.

Although many members of the LGBT community will be the first to tell you that there have been some advances made in terms of gay rights, they are not completely satisfied. They feel that they have a very long way to go in order to attain the gay rights that they will go to any lengths to achieve.

Many want to be able to gain their gay rights so that they will be fully content in life. They know that there is tremendous hope and promise that they are going to be able to reach the depths of obtaining their gay rights. Many live each day for the day that they say that each one of their gay rights have been met. Until that day, they will utilize their Freedom of Speech to speak out for their gay rights. They will shout to the depths to see that their gay rights are heard. One day they will be able to fully make use of their Freedom of Speech, as they are able to express themselves in the fashion of knowing that all of their gay rights have been met.

Gay Rights

On the contrary, if most gay rights are sufficed, this will evoke a positive change for everyone. As each of the gay rights are tackled one by one, all the people of the world are going to be able to reap the benefits. Gay rights are more than just helping to support the LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender) community; however, gay rights are about supporting the rights and principles of an individual. Members of the LGBT community are people just like you and me. They are just fighting for the core rights and beliefs that they believe in… just like you and me.

If one of the major gay rights were to be fulfilled, it will definitely be beneficial to the entire human race. If the gay rights of the non-tolerance for sexual expression and orientation were met, this would make the world a better place. This will mean that people are able to go throughout the earth without being discriminated against due to reasons beyond their control. This will certainly make everyone much happier if they know that they lived in a place where they did not have to worry about being judged. This would raise the morale, globally.

There are several other gay rights that are fought for that will make everyone much happier. If many of the gay rights were obtained, that will eliminate some of the hate in the world. Acknowledgement of gay rights will influence world wide acceptance.

LGBT Marriage

Believe it or not, there are many LGBT rights that you have. Those LGBT rights may be few and far between depending on where you travel, but there are many LGBT rights that one has. Many states in America are working to see to it that many of the LGBT rights are met, one at a time. They are working to see to it that the LGBT community has the freedoms that they so desperately need and deserve. The masses are now joining in to make sure that their voices are heard. Even if they do not consider themselves belonging to the LGBT community, there are many people that still show their support and concern for LGBT rights. They know that the only way that we can really consider ourselves a Democracy is if we listen to all the voices of the people. We can not just mute out what we do not like… or may not be familiar with.

As of today, there are currently a few states that have listened to the outcries of those that have fought for the LGBT rights concerning marriage. Five states in the United States, today, say that it is permissible for members of the LGBT community to marry. There are other states that have recognized LGBT rights in a similar fashion. In an effort to appease LGBT rights, there are other states that offer a LGBT couple a civil union. Although marriage LGBT rights have a long way to go, there have been some advances forward in that regard.

LGBT Rights

There are many LGBT rights that the LGBT community is fighting for, but there are some that tend to take precedence over others. One of the key aspects to seeing to it that the LGBT rights are attained all comes down to one very important principle. RECOGNITION. Many feel that their LGBT rights can be easily reached if they were only able to receive the recognition that they deserve. The reason why they find themselves fighting so hard for each one of their LGBT rights is because they are not properly seen in the light that they should. This is because many people feel that the LGBT community does not have much relevance in society. They feel as though their issues are not significant.

One of the biggest efforts in fighting for LGBT rights has been to make sure that their voice is heard. The LGBT community has come to realize that the only way that they are going to be able to fully obtain their LGBT rights is if they are able to convince the government to recognize their relationships as a valid civil union. The basis of their LGBT rights lies on the fact that, as a whole, the government does not see a LGBT relationship as being legitimate.

As the LGBT community continues to influence society to acknowledge and recognize their unions, they will be able to move forward in fighting for their LGBT rights. Little by little, as more and more LGBT unions are being recognized, more and more LGBT rights are being recognized.

LGBT Community

There are many that are still in limbo about the terminology LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender). Many still do not feel so comfortable with the revised terminology. Since many people do not feel that LGBT accurately expresses who they are, they find it just as disheartening as the other attempts to be politically correct. Although many would argue that LGBT is much more inclusive than the “gay community,” some still do not feel completely content with the attempt. Most people do not like to be categorized at all, been when they are labeled, they want to see that they are viewed in the way that they most accurately choose to identify themselves.

One of the efforts that have been made to appease members of the LGBT community was to add another initial to the acronym LGBT. Members of the LGBT have added the initial Q to the end of LGBT, to indicate Questioning. This was in order to include those that are in a phase where they are exploring whether or not they are heterosexual. Questioning is for those that feel that they still belong to the LGBT community, despite the fact that they are in the process of discovering their sexual identity.

The LGBT community has found that as much as they are working so hard to fight for what they believe in, they must also continue to fight for what others believe in. That has always been the selfless effort of the LGBT community, no matter what terminology is used to define them.

LGBT

The LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender) have vowed to stand up for what they believe in. The LGBT have come together in order to form one of the largest human rights efforts the world has ever experienced. The LGBT was formed in order to give rise to their community. Many people were tired of the term “gay community” because they felt as though that terminology did not most accurately describe who they were. LGBT seems to cover the gamut of those that do not fully identify themselves with the heterosexual members of Society.

The LGBT community has launched efforts all over the world to see to it that their rights are being fought for. The LGBT can be found in several communities working tirelessly to give rise to the issues that are so very near and dear to their heart. If you are really able to delve deep into the LGBT community, you will discover that they are not asking for much. All the LGBT wants to see is that they have the same rights as others. The LGBT community simply want to see to it that they receive Equality.

The LGBT has made many advances in their efforts. They have also seen many setbacks along the way. Nevertheless, the LGBT community will continue to move forward collectively until they are able to overcome and conquer every single obstacle. The LGBT community will do whatever it takes to always make sure that they Stand UP for their Rights.

Government

There is a bill dealing with child abuse that has been making a decent amount of progress on a federal level this year. The “Stop Child Abuse in Residential Programs for Teens Act of 2009″ was introduced on February 9th of this year and was passed by the House of Representatives on February 23rd. It is now November and we are still waiting for a Senate vote to pass so that this act can go on to help the United states youth.

The purpose of this act, as the title of the bill explains, is to put an end to abuse of those under the age of 18 years old in programs in their local areas. The programs that they are referring to are for behavior modification, boarding schools, boot camp type programs, and others in the same vein. This legislation will also pertain to programs that aim to help children with behavioral, emotional, or mental health problems, as well as problems with alcohol or substance abuse. This act does not, however, cover hospitals or foster homes.

All of the punishable offenses are stated within the act itself. Child abuse of any kind is disallowed in these programs (or anywhere for that matter), disciplinary techniques may not include withholding basic human needs such as food, water, shelter, or medical care, and children may not be restrained physically. Any type of abuse that is intended to humiliate or degrade a child and affect their self-respect is no longer legal, and all members of these programs should have a reasonable amount of access to a telephone as well as informed of when they have this access.

What is also guaranteed by this legislation is that program administrators and directors will not be able to plead ignorance for any of these issues. All staff members are required to know what constitutes child abuse and neglect and how to report it. They will also be responsible for being aware of the signs for heatstroke, dehydration, and hypothermia as well. Most importantly though, all staff members will have a background check to see if they have been violent towards children or involved with sexually inappropriate conduct with minors. Provisions such as these should keep unqualified or undesired persons from becoming a member of a staff that regularly works with children and teens.

These are all very basic needs that the act is helping to provide for children, and there should not be a question of whether the “Stop Child Abuse in Residential Programs for Teens Act of 2009″ passes the vote in Senate or not. Contact your state’s senators to find out what they are doing to make sure that this bill is put into effect as soon as possible.

Physical Child Abuse

Physical child abuse can include any type of physical action by an adult that causes bodily harm to a child. Most often, physical child abuse involves striking, either open or closed fist, but many other actions are considered under this category as well. Choking, burning, and shaking all fall under this umbrella.. In some states, even fetal alcohol syndrome is thought to be physical child abuse. This is when a woman imbibes alcohol while pregnant, which may cause damage to the fetus while still in the womb.

The subject of whether striking a child for disciplinary purposes is considered physical child abuse is very controversial. While some believe that it should be legal to slap or spank a child, others believe that causing pain in any way because of physical contact is considered abuse. Many countries around the world find it acceptable to use striking in some forms as a disciplinary tool, but this can lead to the acceptance by cultures of physical child abuse among their citizens. Corporal punishment of any kind is illegal, but still used by many parents in the United States.

There is a definite link between physical child abuse and psychological issues later in life. Those that face this kind of abuse are much more likely to be dependent on drugs and alcohol, partake in crimes, and have unprotected sex, just to name a few. To prevent these future negative effects, we need to put an end to physical child abuse once and for all.

Child Abuse Prevention

There are quite a few ways that child abuse prevention can be put into action. There are several groups and organizations that have dedicated themselves to child abuse prevention, and their efforts have not been in vain.Throughout the United States, the number of organizations that are doing whatever is in their power to help these children is in no way small. There are literally hundreds of these groups that are introducing legislation for child abuse prevention, teaching parents how to discipline their child without using violence, and investigating possible cases of abuse.

The best way to initiate child abuse prevention is to educate the public. Citizens should be aware of all the effects that abuse can have, both short term and long term. At Laws.com, we have a piece that features some of the programs that are leading the child abuse prevention movement. Read more about them here http://www.laws.com/help-put-an-end-to-child-abuse.html, and find out what role you can play in helping the children of this country be safe from violence.
