Lesbian Issues and the Construct of Homosexuality in America
[ send me this paper ]
This 8 page report discusses homosexuality and focuses to a great degree on lesbian issues and concerns. The feminist movement largely changed perceptions of gender, and the gay and lesbian movements significantly altered conceptions of sex, so that what were once seen as permanent moral standards are now viewed as historical and political constructions. As the report notes, individual state hate crime statutes that exclude gay men and lesbians from protection violate the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment by failing to protect homosexuals when protecting members of other groups subject to hate-motivated criminal activity. American society, as a whole, must understand that it is denying guaranteed individual Americans fundamental rights when it discriminates against gays and lesbians. Bibliography lists 12 sources.

Oscar Wilde: Reflection Of Homosexuality In His Works
[ send me this paper ]
7 pages in length. Did Oscar Wilde's homosexual tendencies provide the author with a hidden theme throughout his works? Some have argued that the author's anxieties with regard to his own homosexuality represents a subtle but obvious enough underlying theme. Although the characters in Oscar Wilde's stories are all in heterosexual relationships, critics contend that there exists an undercurrent of homosexual desire between and among the main characters. They cite that in many of his works, exposure of a secret sin or indiscretion and consequent disgrace is central in design, clearly symbolizing the author's penchant toward homosexuality throughout his literary creations. The writer discusses how one only needs to peruse the myriad pages of Wilde's works in order to ascertain the truth: there is no homosexual reference, hidden or otherwise. Bibliography lists 4 sources.
