Finally Got A Topic

I finally found the topic I'm going to do my paper about. The description of my paper is going to be about homosexuality.  I chose that topic because it's something that comes up a lot in our community but people are afraid to talk about it. I mean why not talk about it, it won't hurt to discuss it. I also chose to talk about it because I am a lesbian and there is much information to be shared about the LGBT(Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender) community. I will also inform the readers on LGBT rights, same sex marriage, and the Don't Ask, Don't Tell Act. There are so many positive role models in the gay community now. Having positive role models is very important for the community because if a gay or lesbian person can't go to their family for advice, then they will feel neglected and maybe try to harm themselves. I will finish this discussion in my paper so stay tuned.

  1. Perfect, Akia! Will Batts and Jonathan Cole may make good resources for interviews if you want to address some of the issues that the LGBT community faces locally. Do not feel that you have to take on every issue, but choose one that seems most pressing. For example, you may choose to focus on LGBT rights in the workplace or the high levels of homelessness among LGBT youth.
