Yes, Segregation is still alive and well, or should I say not-well. Have you realized how many people are shunned from society for being bisexual, or homosexual?
Examples:

Eric Breidenbaugh knew something was wrong.

His partner and his partner's parents were all missing – hours overdue from a family flight aboard a small private plane.

Eric called his local airport, near Pinellas Park, Florida, to see if they had any information. They did, but they wouldn't give it to him. They said he was "not an actual family member," so they couldn't tell him whether his partner was alive or dead.

He searched the TV news, where he soon saw footage of the plane he himself had ridden in many times. That was how he found out that his life partner of six years, Joseph Bellamy, had been killed with his parents in a plane crash.

Is this fair? No.
Is this right? No.
Are they different than us? No.
Do they deserve equal rights? Yes.

:o Wow...

See now. I think gay/bisexual partners
should have equal rights like this as if
they were a married couple, considering
they can't be legally married. And in a
situation like that? Wow... He should have
been told what happened. Who cares if he
wasn't family, that was his partner he loved
for years. Some days I wonder what our world
has become. **shakes head**

I think Segregation is still alive unfortunately. I think everyone deserves to be treated as equals. No matter who they choose to love.

that's horrible.. :( I have nothing else to say since I know nothing about stuff like this. I don't have gays or bi-sexuals in my family or close friends (atleast that I know off)..

I'm from New Jersey, so we have "gay unions". It was a big controversy last year when they were considering passing a law allowing homosexuals to be legally married. They compromised and settled on unions.

Either way, homosexuals deserve equal rights. What'd they ever do wrong, besides fall in love with someone of the "wrong" gender?

Sometimes I wonder if dropping babies on their head is common practice...it would explain so much about so many people.

Poor thing...


I do think they should live like everyone else and be able to get married. But the problem is we live in a country with many old fashioned adults. Our countries religion is christian/catholic by majority. In our bible, homosexuality is a sin, but... I feel like this discrimination by the government will pass. Eventually.

It took us awhile to have freedom of religion.
It took us awhile to accept blacks as equal to white.
It took us awhile to accept the asian migration in the 1900's.

You know, I could go on, but my point is that things progress. These people exist. Just like the blacks exist and the asians exist, and everyone else that were once unaccepted. The government will not ignore these homosexual people forever. They can't. If this country wasn't supposed to be ruled by religion, it shouldn't be.

I do wish this would progress faster though.
I have a gay cousin that I love with all my heart, and it's sad to see him feel down about these things. But I'm in San Francisco, the gay community, so it is a little easier here.

I personally feel that there is no reason that two people no matter the sex should be married. I don't see why the can't adopt kids. I mean honestly it keeps down over population and it doesn't hurt anyone. You should never judge someone for what they do behind closed doors. You shouldn't judge someone for who they love, love works in strange ways and if your in love with someone of the same sex it's not really a big deal. I don't see why it is such a problem for people of the same sex to marry.

Not where I live. We're 91% white in my state but we have no segregation, as far as I know.

I'm probably going to sound like an arrogant you-know-what after I say this, but I think that the 'segregation' for homosexuals is out there because it's still an large abnormality. Abnormal, not in the way that homosexuals themselves are abnormal or anything like that, but the fact that homosexuality is still not accepted. Sure in several countries, ie. The Netherlands, and Canada, same-sex marriages are allowed, but I do agree with you non-the-less that there still is a distance from those who are homosexual. I wish it would just be accepted already.

As for segregation due to ethnicity, I believe that it is still present in today's society. As much as people don't believe it. I believe it is. A couple of months ago, the Toronto District School Board, allowed the creation of Black Focused Schools. These schools are meant to focus on the culture, history, and values, and so-on-and-so-forth that are up held...or meant to be up held in the African Canadian Community. As much as these schools are promoting their heritage, (which I see nothing wrong with that) they are not supporting a cohesive educational system. So yes, even though these schools are not promoting segregation, separating students into Black focused schools, is nonetheless the same thing. Sure they want more of their culture involved, so why not try to incorporate it into the already established school system, instead of creating another division of it, that still has to hold up the Governmental curriculum but now with a black focus.

So to answer you question, I do believe that segregation is still present in today's society.

There was actually a movie about this. And it was so, so sad. A lesbian couple lived together until they were old.. And one of the women fell trying to put a fallen baby bird back in its nest, and it wound up killing her. Well, the other woman wasn't allowed to see her or be with her when she died. These ladies had spent their entire lives together.

The woman whom died owned their house, and her family took it away, leaving the other woman homeless, now, and alone. Even though she'd paid for half the house herself they wouldn't allow her name on the bill of ownership.

It was so depressing. The movie was called, `` If these walls could talk 2 `` if you wanna check it out.

And, as far as segregation goes for homosexuals, it's out there - of course. But if you look back to last year, the Gena 6, where 6 kids were prosecuted unfairly because of their skin color. Segregation will not go away. People are stubborn, and set in their ways. Over time they may get used to it - but that will never mean that they are ok with it, or like it. :/

Of course, segregation is still an issue... There's still all-African American colleges and scholarships a lot of times are based on ethnicity. Also, look at jails, theres far more African Americans than caucasian people behind bars, even though statistically whites commit more crimes...
