Human Rights Campaign
Searching for the Rights for the LGBTQ Community
The Problem
Many, many conservative individuals of America are disgusted with the fact that there are people who want to have their rights and try to lead their life as an accepted and successful citizen of America, or any country for that matter. That’s probably because they’re gay and ruining God’s perfect plan for America. Haha? America was built to be a country without a set religion—ask our founding fathers. In addition, the LGBTQ community was built to support more than only gay individuals. The letters each stand for something different, of course: people who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and any other queer person (queer being anything aside from the “social norm”, i.e. people who are asexual, pansexual, agender, etc). Many people are sure this is a phase the world is going to—that this is all a trend, that it’ll fade in time, and they just need to keep the word of God in this and they will all realize their “folly”. The organization wants to be realized as just a group of countless people that want to be accepted and given justice. We are people and we want the rights everyone has been promised.
