The topic that I selected was gay rights on a global scale. This is an issue that is very important to me because I have been passionate about politics all through high school, and more specifically learning about how gay rights are handled. I already know a lot about the oppression and severity of the social issue here in the United States, but I hope to learn a lot more about it on other continents and in specific countries. I know currently that gay marriage is only legal in a few states, and that there has been an ongoing struggle to make gay rights be seen as human rights. However, I also know that there have been rallies, growing social reforms, and many support groups for the LGBT community specifically in the United States. What I would like to learn is about the communities in far off countries and how that oppression compares to what we experience here. I want to learn the motivation that lies behind persecution against gay people, and uncover what countries are going to be doing to deal with this in the future. I think this is an issue that is political, religious, and constitutional and I would really like to understand more about how the world is going to adjust and respond to its presence.
