With celebrity admission of homosexuality, the changes in the political structures of society, and the ongoing sense of acceptance throughout numerous “mainstream” social institutions such as those associated with religion or higher learning, the existence of the Gay and Lesbian community cannot be discounted.

Family Systems Theory And Lesbian Family Members
[ send me this paper ]
6 pages in length. Homophobia is more widespread than most people would like to believe, even – and sometimes especially – when family members are involved. At issue with the circumstances of having a lesbian family member as it relates to overall interaction are the fears, expectations and disillusions that come rushing to the surface when homophobes are forced to deal with such associations. The writer discusses how utilizing family systems theory as a means by which to overcome the resistance inherent to having a lesbian family member has proven beneficial in establishing the necessary hierarchy, roles and boundaries that are necessary for the healing process to begin.

Female Androgynous Adolescents: Better Self-Image Than Being Either Very Masculine Or Very Feminine Girls?
[ send me this paper ]
8 pages in length. When it comes to social acceptance, there exist some very strict guidelines: An individual is either male or female. Indeed, little room for approval is given for those who do not fall into one of these two confining categories, often forcing people to assume roles that abide by social dictates. Female adolescents are particularly susceptible to issues of androgyny as they relate to self-image and overall social acceptance. One can readily argue that those female adolescents who display androgynous tendencies do not, in fact, feel better about themselves than if they were either very masculine or very feminine girls, inasmuch society places much too much pressure for an individual to offer a clear and recognizable distinction between the two portrayals.
