Lesbian Issues and the Construct of Homosexuality in America
[ send me this essay ]
This 8 page report discusses homosexuality and focuses to a great degree on lesbian issues and concerns. The feminist movement largely changed perceptions of gender, and the gay and lesbian movements significantly altered conceptions of sex, so that what were once seen as permanent moral standards are now viewed as historical and political constructions. As the report notes, individual state hate crime statutes that exclude gay men and lesbians from protection violate the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment by failing to protect homosexuals when protecting members of other groups subject to hate-motivated criminal activity. American society, as a whole, must understand that it is denying guaranteed individual Americans fundamental rights when it discriminates against gays and lesbians. Bibliography lists 12 sources.
