When I was a child I had my mother read the magazines every week if it was done with him, and left it on the coffee table was. There was a weekly article that the story of a young sexual experiences and the consequences of what had happened. It 'was a more elaborate version of a column of advice, where the real story, the main attraction of the psychologist and the response was only a short paragraph at the end of the article.
I remember some of the storieswere bizarre and disturbing events, in which a young girl had an illicit affair to come to a cousin or a friend of the family and things out of control. Other versions they told sad stories of abuse at the hands of a male figure in the family trust.
Initially, these letters, especially by young women for the magazine for the female population (yes, I was a kid when I read the magazine, but curiosity is normal for kids!) Was hosted. A decade later, perhaps inLate 80s, word of gays and lesbians seemed to deal with similar experiences, if not with their same sex. The shock factor of reading these stories brutally open and honest contributions by gays and lesbians, after a few months. The letters of complaint to the Director subsided over time as well.
This gradual transition, in which the company accepts the reality of homosexuality in Western culture, like the United States, because of the new generationsso afraid of the subject or the gay and lesbian community trial. During the '90s and early '00, more and more gay and lesbian people of their sexual orientation and interests allowed to love their friends, families, and through audio-visual means of communication with the rest of the world.
More and more articles appeared in newspapers and magazines that deal with both sides of this reality. Many films and television programs directed homosexuality, breaks theHollywood taboo, which once dominated the industry. In fact, many Entertainer openly acknowledged their sexual orientation to disperse in some cases, their public persona and their characters.
Let us fast forward to the ongoing debate on gay marriage. The recent approval of Proposition 8 in California, most voters believe that marriage should be between a man and a woman has again polarized, not only Californians, but the United StatesEverything. The transition from gay activists exerted to promote their equality in our society, a bitter and bloody battle took to the streets. Reminds us of some terrible events in the history of mankind in the 20th century, both sides began the public to identify and, in some cases, organizations and individuals who had run eight financial contributions on both sides of the proposition.
Given the fact that the vote counts forboth sides of Proposition 8 have been very close, you can return to peaceful approaches to claim rights of gays and lesbians. My non-scientific poll of friends and family, and my friends on various social networking sites foam has shown me that young people 12-25 were primarily against Prop. 8 and have not had a problem with gay marriage in California . Maybe Californians will vote for the legalization of gay marriage, when presented with anotherOpportunity to vote for them the next state election. further acts of violence and disorder that can convert those who were sitting on the fence in this debate, the opposition, making it harder to pass the amnesty law in the future.
How many religious and cultural changes took place can be achieved in the United States since its birth decades, this problem has made great progress over the past twenty years. We are very close to see the majority of opinion against gay marriageespecially the change because of religious beliefs in the direction of tolerance and acceptance. Remember the late John Lennon's immortal lines: "Give Peace a Chance!"
