LGBT Bullying


     Justice is defined as a concept of moral rightness based on ethics, rationality, law, natural law, religion, or equity. Justice is the act of being just and / or fair. Justice is something big we’re facing now, everyone is trying to get it. Everyone has their own little reason on having justice and why there fighting for it. To me I fell as though the saying “You get treated the way you treat others” Doesn’t actually work all the time. I mean you can be so nice and respectful to someone and they won’t care on giving any respect back (Injustice).

     Something that I feel as though is very unjust  is the treatment of LGBT Americans. With all the discrimination against gays, support groups and other communities need to work hard to ensure that everyone regardless of sexual orientation and gender identity can fully participate in a civil society. Not too long ago in New Jersey, 18 year old Tyler Clementi at Rutgers University jumped to his death from the George Washington Bridge on Sep.22.2010.  Roommates recorded his sexual encounters and video-streamed it.

     Clementi was born in, Buffalo New York. Raised in ridge wood New Jersey, A few days before leaving home to attend college at Rutgers, Clementi told his parents that he was gay. His father supported him, Clementi Said that his mother had basically “Rejected” him. Tyler’s suicide, Along with the suicides of several other gay teens who had been harassed Moved president Obama secretary of state Hilary Clinton  and secretary of Ed to express shock and sadness and speak out against any form of bullying.

     For over 75 years the A.C.L.U has L.G.B.T people in the broad mission of civil rights and civil liberties for all. While there is public support for supporting discrimination against gay people illegal. The gay, lesbian and straight education network today marks the culmination of pioneering research documenting the experiences of L.G.B.T with the release of 2009 national school climate survey.

     2009 survey of 7, 261 middle and high school students found that school nearly 9 out of 10 L.G.B.T students experience harassment t school in the past year and nearly two thirds felt unsafe cause their sexual orientation.



I don't like it, and those that do, will eventually in life regret that they did. We are supposed to love one another. I am just adding this, especially if they are in trouble. They don't discriminate then. The attitude they have is I need help, no matter who it is, as long as they can help them. That is all that matters to them. We should never have hate someone for their differences, we get no where in life doing so, and with expressing such hatred, we are hurting that individual more than we possible could.

  1. I think that these issues they have chosen need to be taken very seriously cause the fact that kids are killing their self’s going suicide just because they don’t feel comfortable with people knowing their sexuality wither its gay, lesbian or transsexual and they are being bullied and harassed.
    I learned that not too long ago in New Jersey, 18 year old Tyler Clementi at Rutgers University jumped to his death from the George Washington Bridge on Sep.22.2010. Roommates recorded his sexual encounters and video-streamed it.
    One thing they can do to make this situation better is to have local meeting and talks about this That way people can feel sad of knowing that these kids are being bullied for being different.
