Is Homophobia Disappearing?


     Hey class, sorry for posting very late, but my house had a flooding issue and I apologize. Anyways, lets get started.


     In the past, people have been dealing with homophobia and it has been a political problem for many years. Students getting bullied at school for being homosexual, governments punishing citizen for being homosexual, a death penalty for being homosexual etc. There were a large amounts of homophobia and homosexuals weren't seen as normal people in the past.

     Now-a-days, people have learned to accept homosexuals as normal people in our society. Homophobia has always been a problem for gays and lesbians because it meant that people were afraid of them. Although as time went by, people started to learn that it is okay to be a homosexual.

This a graph showing people's thoughts on homophobia through the years

Looking at the graph, you could see that people's thoughts on homosexuals changed and more people are starting to accept homosexuals in our society throughout the years.

Here is a video from the United Nation's YouTube channel and their " new anti-homophobia message"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x7AudirF32M

Here are some questions I have for you:

  • Is homophobia still a problem in Canada?
  • Do you think homophobia is disappearing?
  • Do you accept homosexuals as normal people in our society?
  • Has society truly change and accept homosexuals as normal people in our society?

    Nice Blog Ilyas! Firstly I would like to apologize for your house flooding, I hope everyone is ok. Moving on to some of the questions you had "Is Homophobia still an issue" I don't really think that homophobia is an issue in Canada since everyone here is really kind and accepting of change and even if some people have an issue with homosexual individuals they keep those feelings to themselves rather than expressing them publicly. I think that society has definitely changed and people now much more accepting of homosexuals because like I mentioned before, everyone has their own beliefs and ways of living life and even if I don't agree with their actions I should keep those thoughts to myself.

Gender Inequality

* Merry Xmas from Ademola Male vs female        Gender inequality is a well known recurring issue in the society. Let's agree that there has been more male jobs than there is for the females. Engineering being the most dominated profession by male gender, while about 11% of females are practically engineers. Now to consider if the world is being fair or not using the following criteria: Considering the biology of the human body, males are more physically and mentally conditioned for labor jobs; they have higher grip strength than females. Women in general are more gentle, passionate and delicate than men. I'm not a sexist but imagine a world where hospitals are dominated by men, no one will want to go there for treatment, or a world where crane and heavy vehicle operation is dominated by women. Production won't be fast and efficient.   Here's an video and article discussing the dangers of women doing heavy lifting and shift...

Gender EQUALITY

Image
H ello my fellow " bright-eyed" bloggers,           To start off we need to know what Gender equality even is.  Gender equality means when a state where no opportunities or resources are held back from people based on their gender. Gender equality is what should've been the bases of humanities future, rather than gender stereotypes.           Boys don't cry. Girls are delicate. Men are stronger. Women are too emotional. These are many of the gender-based stereotypes that prevent humanity to reach the equality between genders. These stereotypes have later lead to women being accepted into fewer jobs because of attributes that don't necessarily apply to them. These stereotypes are like small matches that can easily cause wildfires.            The society has changed over the course of the last few years with feminists trying to debunk some of these gender stereotypes. ...

Is Hip Hop anti-Gay?

Is Hip Hop anti-Gay? by: Safwaan Islam Hip Hop and especially rap has been made to be all about the male fantasy. Having money power and women etc. Rap is also known to be about masculinity and anti-gay. This can be seen in earlier rap of the 2000s and before with the usage of statements like "No Homo". This a Statement used to explicitly state not being Gay  used by rappers like Cam, Lil Wayne and so many others. However, i believe that is no longer the case and rap over time has became accepting of homo and bi-sexual artists. It may seem that being gay in the hip hop industry would not be successful but it has shown to have made no difference. There are many rappers in the the Hip Hop Industry today that have come out at gay e.g ILOVEMAKONNEN, Frank Ocean and maybe even Tyler the Creator. Tyler the Creator (Left), Frank Ocean (Right) The rappers i have listed above have either came out gay or teetered with the idea of it. They also have not seemed to ...
