After attending the Transgender Day of Remembrance on November 16, 2012, I began to have an interest in this topic. I started to research and read a lot of articles about this issue. The URL I pasted above is a newspaper article about a woman recognizing the violence of sexual orientation after she made negative comments about "gays" and "lesbians". Even though, this article is over a year old I strongly believe it is a moving article for anyone who has an opinion on the abuse of sexual orientation. After I attended the transgender remembrance I started to have a new recognition for people who suffer from this pain and discrimination. Sometimes people just don't realize how offensive they can be and how it can effect someone emotionally. I think this article is important to read for everyone; whether you have a strong opinion on this topic or not. It will bring different aspects of sexual orientation violence to the attention of people who over look this topic. I hope you find some interest in this article and enjoy it!
