We have a new project that will be due in the beginning of May about a social issue on campus. We have had to do a project about this before and I think that I will do again. At the beginning of the year the gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender and question community at the University of Rhode Island felt very uncomfortable at school. A lot of hate crimes were recorded against the LBGTQ community which caused them to hold a peaceful protest in the URI library in order to gain rights. They wanted more staff members and a new building for the LBGTQ community as well as a dormitory for those students in order to feel safe and comfortable on campus.
I do feel like all students on campus have the right to feel safe and comfortable, and i do think it was awful that members of the same university were conducting hate crimes towards each other. Yet, i think it is unreasonable for the members of the LBGTQ community to request their own dormitory and living quarters. In order to obtain equality for all i don't think that a group should be segregated like that. I'm still thinking about how i can construct this project without stepping on any toes because i do believe in equal rights. Any ideas on how i can portray this information without sounding like i'm against the LBGTQ community?
