LGBT

There has been some significant progress made in the last sixty years when it comes to gay rights. The community has moved past the time when homosexuality was seen as a psychological disease, when people were arrested for expressing their true selves in public, and when sex between two members of the same gender was considered a felony. While there have been many strides made towards the goal of complete equality, there is still quite a distance ahead. There are still many ignorant people out there that fear what they do not completely understand, but fortunately those views can be countered in a peaceful manner. There is no longer a question of whether the LGBT community will achieve equality in society, it is a question of when. The only way to battle ignorance is through the spread of information and education.

Significantly aiding in the spread of knowledge to the masses has been the advent of the Internet, especially blogs. There are several great blogs out there that are maintained by important figures in the gay rights movement, as well as the average person on the street. That is one of the great things about blogs; everyone can get their experiences, knowledge, and opinions out into the public with the click of a mouse. The rights of all humans are not so easily dismissed when there are faces given to the movement. We can read exactly how the poster feels about a variety of issues, from hospital visitation to the right to marry. Also, these blogs are a very convenient way to keep up on the latest news and hot-button topics. There are even some blogs that offer valuable advice and information about gay marriages and ideal honeymoon destinations for newlyweds.
One of the most important functions that blogs maintained by members of the LGBT community serve is providing an arena for discussion. No matter the age, gender, race, or any other factors, there are people out there in the same position and that alone can make it easier to get through some of the more difficult times. I have provided links to some of the blogs that I believe are right near the top when it comes to the issue of gay rights or they might simply be interesting LGBT sites. Some of these blogs are very popular and you may have heard of them, and some may not be receiving the recognition that they deserve. One thing that I can assure though, is the quality of these sites. Go ahead and check these out, you might find yourself anxiously awaiting each new update.
