Time for Change

What are major ways to help to ensure that society is moving in the right direction when it comes to gay and lesbian rights? There are a few ways that many people have already started working toward. One way is by promoting gay and lesbian rights in the media, and marketing new forms of media toward the mass public. A second way is to start organizations and create websites where people can go to learn the facts about gay and lesbian rights. But most importantly gay and lesbian rights needs to be taught in schools to ensure that future generations are not growing up with the wrong mindset. By teaching not just about gay and lesbian rights but by teaching about gender studies and equal rights as a whole people would be helping to ensure that youth are not growing up with the wrong or backwards way of thinking. It is important that kids are taught to be mindful and not judgmental. It is though our schools that society will be able to promote real change. It may not be immediate and it still may take some time but it is something worth fighting for. America is look to as a forward thinking company and due to that people need to ensure that we continue to teach our children what it is that we want for the future of our country otherwise we will not be accomplishing the goals that we set out to accomplish and people will look back in history and wonder why it was that our society did not change. The same way that we look back 40 year plus and think about how horrible the injustices were on blacks and all minorities. We need to learn form that mistake and not let history repeat itself. I often hear people say that history will repeat itself because that’s what it has always done. Well I have a question for them. If we know that history repeats itself why don’t we then see the change that is coming and prevent it and not let history repeat. Instead of resisting change because we are scared of it as a society why don’t we then not let history repeat itself and embrace it and more in the right directions which is towards equality and not division and repression. America was founded on diversity and for many people that meant race and religion but why can’t it also mean sexual orientation or sexual preference. The same way that many people have come to see the good that this Great Nation has done to help change the world let this be another moment for the United States of America to stand up for equality in all people and not run away form change but embrace it.
