RSS 2.0 FeedWays to End Discrimination within the LGBT Community
Sat, Feb 27, 2010
Some would think that the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgendered community would be free from racism, considering that it is a community that experiences discrimination on a daily basis. Unfortunately, this is not the case. Like other cultures, racism continues to be an issue that affects everyone, including homosexuals. The sense of comfort that one senses when they are with those of the same culture is indescribable. In fact, it is quite similar to the feeling and gratification a lesbian or gay male may feel when others who share the same sexual orientation surround them. A sense of belonging, acceptance, and the ability to identify similar life experiences is a wonderful feeling; however, these feelings are the same feelings and way of thinking that contribute to racism and other forms of discrimination.
