the U.S. have become very controversial. These conflicting opinions have caused many debates concerning gay rights and have most likely halted true equalization of homosexuals to heterosexuals. The members of these groups want to go back to the time when homosexuals were not given the rights they are given today. In comparison, the United Kingdom does not go without any form of hatred towards homosexuals. According to Brown and Kershaw, ―One of the many problems that lesbians and gay men faced was violence and harassment‖ (2008, p.125). This is a result of people still wanting to deny human rights to homosexuals. It is not something that should be taken lightly. ―Nor is it unknown for young lesbians and gay men to leave home because of their parents‘ abusive or hostile attitudes towards them‖ (Brown & Kershaw, 2008, p.125). Children should not have to worry about their parents beating them because of their sexual orientation. Parents should love their children no matter what. No child wants to live in fear that their parents are going to abuse them because they like the same sex. It is nice to see that the Domestic Violence, Crimes, and Victims Act helps to keep this from happening (Brown & Kershaw, 2008, P.125). However, even though is act is set in place to protect these victims it does not mean that the violence and harassment has stopped. No one knows what happens behind doors, but this act hopefully controls the violence better. This has caused the government to set laws into place to help protect gay men and lesbians from the horrendous acts of violence that they are likely to experience. It is not a mystery that the issue of gay rights has sparked a huge controversy in the United States and the United Kingdom. This controversy has made it difficult to equalize homosexuals in both countries, but the United States has made this issue more controversial. The United Kingdom has more acts and regulations set in place to help equalize homosexuals while the United States has some regulations set in place, but more debate on this topic exists here. Some of the acts to equalize homosexuals allow for gays and lesbians the right to adopt and foster children and the ability for them to work and serve in the armed forces without discrimination based on sexual orientation. However, hatred still exists causing extreme controversy. Hate groups, violence and harassment exist making it difficult to come to an agreement on gay rights. Also, discriminations, such as the denial of marriage to same-sex 73
couples, exist solely because some people believe that any type of same-sex relations is wrong and therefore these people should not be provided with rights that make them equal to everyone else. There are citizens in both the United States and United Kingdom that are letting their personal beliefs and opinions in the way of allowing homosexuals human rights that are laid out in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. This declaration provides rights that should be given to all people. Unless an agreement is formed homosexuals will be thought of as a secondary group of people not deserving of rights and equality to heterosexuals who are considered to be the primary group. 74
