Homosexual rights shouldn’t be given; if it were given, it would be called a privilege. After all, they are rights that everyone should have, and not just heterosexual specifically. Homosexuals should stop being discriminated, allowed to get the right of marriage without moving somewhere else, and allowed to raise a family without people questioning their motives and the children.
 * Homosexual Rights **

Discriminating homosexuals need to stop because it hurts them and they didn’t do anything wrong. Homosexuals just want to be happy with their partner, and since some states have allowed same-sex marriage, people have been overjoyed and lined up immediately. A man, Anonymous, had to move away from his family with his partner after he had been rejected and excluded. Besides, there’s nothing wrong or abnormal about homosexuals; they love somebody just the same as heterosexuals. Stop discriminating and start appreciating because we are all the same.

Marriage is something that everyone has a right to, and homosexuals shouldn’t be deprived from that. Being gay or lesbian doesn’t mean they’re weird and abnormal and that the kids they bring up would turn out weird. People want to be happy with their lifelong partner, but the only way they can do that is to leave and marry in another state where gay marriage is legalized. In the past, states banned same-sex marriage. 17 states in the USA have now seen to it and have allowed same-sex marriage to happen. Everybody has their own right to marry the person they love, instead of confining their marriage.

Starting a family is a good and healthy thing to do, and that includes heterosexual and homosexual. The kids that the homosexual bring up are as good as the heterosexual. Through some research, signs have proven that homosexuals are very committed and are more motivated than heterosexuals. Intelligence in social and academics and having an open mind are some character traits that the kids of homosexuals have. Homes for the unwanted children are what homosexuals can also provide. Families are people who love each other and take of each other and homosexuals and heterosexual families are the same.

Homosexuals are people too, like you and me, and we need to stop discrimination and convicting them from their rights. The kids they bring up don’t become “weird” or “abnormal”. Nothing bad would happen if homosexuals get married. If you were called weird and abnormal, how would you feel? Stop discrimination and allow them their rights!

Everyone did a Freak the Mighty project and we had to show author's craft, the way they write, character developments, how to character changes throughout the story, themes, and the evidence we have of each of them. We also had to show originality to show that we are really thinking and showing that we understand how to find these things in stories. We gave a little introduction on the project and since we had different ways to present it, we gave our introduction differently. I had a movie/skit presentation so i had little to say and then i showed the movie. The first one is my introduction and the second one is my movie.

By Natalie Chang C1

The way of the world, Sunrise of exploding colors like a rainbow, Dripping as the icicle melts, Waves crashing in the shore.

Sunrise of exploding colors like a rainbow, Moon disappearing from time to time, Waves crashing in the shore, That is the way of the world. Infinite Darkness Inside the black hole Deepest, darkest, and alone Compressed to nothing For us, the end starts. The infinite darkness. Minds A funny thing, minds Having tasks for day and night Like a computer Like a digital movie Whirring forever and on. Nature There was a willow, Which swayed soft as a pillow, The animals come out to play, Even on a sunny day, The beauty of the wonderful meadow. Gum Oh my! What a big stick of gum! Enough to fill my whole family’s tum! Soft and flexible and long too, Oh, I just wonder what to do. Oh my, oh my, that gum.

Past. Present. Future. By Natalie C1   YESTERDAY I was nervous about tests, But I was confident about posing prettily in pictures. I used to be afraid of ghastly ghosts, Though I was not afraid of dolls. I did hate Chinese, But I loved to sing like a flying firefly in the night sky. I didn’t believed in god, But I believed in the giving Santa. TODAY I’m nervous about presentations, But I’m confident about who I am. I’m afraid of the dark, dreamless death, Though I’m not afraid of creeping and crawling ants. I //simply// hate running, I love being the chatterbox. I don’t believe in afterlives, But I believe in my trusting and promising friends. TOMORROW I will be nervous about performing perfectly, I will be confident about having a good life. I will be afraid of someone slipping away from me, Though I will not be afraid of climaxed horror movies. I will hate crocheting, I will love being fit and muscular. I won’t believe in an apocalypse, But I will believe in reincarnations. media type="custom" key="23690020"
