"Everybody's journey is individual. If you fall in love with a
boy, you fall in love with a boy. The fact that many Americans
consider it a disease says more about them than it does about
homosexuality."James Baldwin Throughout the course of history,
people have been treated differently for being different than
the "normal" based on their race, gender, and sexuality. Today,
there are laws that are enforced to protect people against such
discrimination in public places. But when it comes to the
society it all has to do with morality. The society determines
what is "normal" or acceptable, and anyone who does not abide by
it is "abnormal," is a "disgrace" to the community, and needs
help. Like racism in the past, homosexuality is becoming an
alarming subject worldwide. Like Baldwin's quote above,
diagnosing sexuality as pathological abnormality points out the
ignorance in society. Instead of accepting people as they are,
the community discriminates against homosexual individuals.
