Essay #1 Topic Reflection
The social issue I’d be speaking of is the impact of the LGBTQ+ community in the U.S. I am a part of the LGBTQ+, I am omnisexual, and have just recently come out during this year. The LGBTQ+ community struggles to this day around the world, and I want to bring awareness to what has been done about it and what has been happening. There is always a new story about somebody getting killed or somebody killing themselves due to the inability to express themselves. Homophobic people continue to apply pressure and try to take our rights away, even though we barely have any. I will never understand why other people think they have the right to put their input or try to control a part of somebody else’s life. Nonetheless, I want to continue to educate myself on the social issue at hand because although I know some of what has happened in the community, I want to learn more about the past and analyze how much has changed since then.
