"All men are created equal" are the opening lines of this country's Declaration of Independence. Yet the society that we live in constantly allows people to be discriminated against and restricted from certain opportunities based on their identity. Whether it be someone's race, sexual orientation, gender, religion or any other minority group. This country has a long history of injustice towards people due to a certain group of people that they belong to. This country has made progress towards equality for all, but there is much more to be done to make this country a place where all men are truly created equal.

Scandal In Gay Rights Movement May Hurt The Cause

Gay Does Not Mean Pedophile

Terrance Patrick Bean is the co-founder of the Human Rights Campaign, the world's largest, wealthiest, most powerful anti-Christian pro-homosexual organization. HRC was founded to push the homosexual political agenda and Bean is one of the most influential figures in gay right. It has come out that he has been arrested and charged with a felony for allegedly sodomizing a 15 year old boy. About two years ago 68 year old Larry Brinkin, another high profile gay rights activist,was arrested for possessing an distributing reams of child pornography. These scandals within the gay community will negatively effect the progression of their fight for equal rights. There is no doubt that what these men have done to these young boys is absolutely disgusting but should the whole gay community have to pay for the sick decisions of a few bad apples? These type of incidents have the power to sway people to be totally against this movement. People tend to over generalize and these kinds of stories leave a bad taste in people's mouths about gay people. Just because there are some sick people who target young innocent boys does not mean that all gay men deserve to pay the price. Those who do nothing wrong should not be punished for loving someone of the same sex. Just because there are some men who prey on children does not mean that other men who are homosexual should not have the same rights as others. I hope that one day we can move past all of the discrimination and inequality that is so prevalent in our society.

  1. I believe that the rates of child molestation among gay men is lower than among straight men. I agree that this is damaging because it fits into a misinformed stereotype.
