Give one example of antigay prejudice in the United States (past or present).
What will be an ideal response?
Many tangible instances of antigay prejudice exist. There are numerous documented cases of women being fired from their jobs or dishonorably discharged from the armed forces upon disclosure of their sexual orientation. For example, the “don’t ask don’t tell” policy, which was repealed by President Obama in 2011. Until recent Supreme Court cases, most states did not recognize lesbian partners in matters of health insurance, inheritance, or marriage. Until fairly recently, people who were gay could not adopt children. The most extreme expressions of antigay prejudice occur in hate crimes against sexual minorities.
