Note for feature article Equality Everyone Deserves It: This article shows how equality is an issue for our society. Many people are ashamed of who they are because society cannot accept them for who they are and who they want to be. I tried to show the statistics and facts of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender teens and young adults who are not accepted. We do not want to be the reason somebody ends or tries to end their life. Note for expository choice: In my expository choice I chose a graph to show the statistics of children who are not accepted by society. Teenagers and young adults who are not accepted have much higher rates of suicide, depression, illegal drugs, and HIV or STDs. Notes for Word Cloud: All of the words in the word cloud are the important ones from quotes in the book The Meaning of Matthew written by Judy Shepard. Homophobia wasnt rampant across campus, but they all knew it was there.(139) He came into the world premature and left the world premature. Matthews family is so that his last words to them were I love you(134) It was very unlikely-even close to impossiblethat Matt would ever wake up from his coma. (105) Press was reporting the attack had to do with Matts sexual orientation. (98) or if the last thing he saw as Aaron McKinneys hateful face. (5) Matt had been attacked. (9) The lord gave us two ears and one mouth for a reason. We need to listen twice as much as we talk. (28,29) Bloodied, badly beaten, shirtless and shoeless, he went back to the hotel as soon as he could break free from his attackers and woke up his friends. (55) those men stole more from Matt that night than his shirt and his shoes. They took his confidence, his optimism, and his sense of purpose and place in the world. (56,57) I need to tell you that Im gay. Youre one of the those faggots, arent you? (139)
