#12 Final

I finished the two surveys and I realized that people who are gay tend to be bullied more than any other kind of person. A majority of people said they have witnessed someone being bullied, and a majority did nothing to stop it.

I also realized that girls in my school who took the survey feel uncomfortable against lesbians, but not against guys who are gay. That was my prediction and the survey proved it all right.


Overall, the surveys I sent out all proved hypothesis correct. Kids who are gay do receive more harassment than kids who are not. Plenty of people were not bullied and have witnessed bullying and have done nothing to stop it.

#11 Plan in Action

As I said before my plan is for students, teachers, and strangers to take my online survey on homosexuality. I  decided to do two different surveys. One is just on bullying in general. The next will be on how they feel with someone who is gay and if they think they are bullied more than a general kid.
My first survey is going well and has been reaching my hypothesis. I believed people would chose that the school does not push the zero tolerance policy, if they witnessed someone being bullied BUT did nothing about it (however more said they did do something). Some say they were bullied, and my last question was if they think kids who are bullied tend to become violent.
Now, I'm going to redo that same survey but I will be adding in someone who is gay and how they feel on it.

I posted the first survey in the IHA 2014 page on Facebook but I'll post it on this post also.
I'm going to post the second form on the IHA 2014 page on Facebook and also on here.

# 10 Plan

So, as I said in my last post I will be creating a survey. I will be creating one in Google Docs and post it into the 2014 IHA students Facebook page, and also having the survey on my tablet and have co-workers and customers take it too. I feel like this will go either really well or extremely horrible. I feel like the older the generation, the well accepting they will be. I'm not going to force anyone to take it.

# 9 SURVEY TIME!

So, I'm going to begin to create a survey on this topic and share it among my grade but also later share it among adults.  I will have it all anonymous, but it will be on their personal views on homosexuality and those who are gay. If they are more comfortable around gay men  or gay women or they're comfortable around either or not at all.
I'll keep it all posted!

# 8 Final Post. You will be OK. I promise. Love, Christina

I really enjoyed doing this. I usually keep up with the events that happen over homosexuality. I want to know how it's going to effect me as I get older. If I will ever be able to get married and have that document. Because of this research I know I'm not the only one who gets angry/sad over what's happening. I like that some people who are heterosexual support the LGBT rights. I understand more as to why people bully me over my sexuality. This blog research really opened my eyes.
I know that I am not alone. And the way I want to end this blog is by letting everyone being bullied over their sexuality or for being themselves know it will be OK.

Everything will be alright. It's difficult now but I just want everyone to know it will get better. It's difficult for me in this moment but I try to keep my attitude positive and know that everything will turn out alright. Don't ever be ashamed as to who you are. Stay true to yourself. Be you. Don't let anyone throw you down. You're not alone in this world. Just keep your head up.

You're never alone

You will be ok

It gets better

I promise. 

#7 What is up with Uganda?

As many people heard Uganda has recently signed a new bill. 

It pretty much says that you cannot be gay, and if you are you will be punished. Also, if you pity or speak up for someone who is gay, you will be punished. 

Here is what I do not understand...it is 2014...when can everyone realize that sexuality, race, religion, education, etc. do not make someone any different from the rest of us? 

We are all human. 

But I guess Uganda refuses to take a notice in that. People are being beaten, killed, and jailed for being gay or even speaking to a gay person. Ugandans are committing suicide

I just do not understand why this has to keep happening.

#6 Disney Ends Funding to Boy Scouts Over Gay Policy

Disney will be ending the funding they give due to a policy that bans gay adult leaders in the organization. Although some people agree to this policy because they are afraid their son will be harmed by a gay leader. There was even a ban on having any gay members in the boy scouts. Even just as just a child. The restriction on minors was lifted effective Jan. 1, but the group kept the restriction against adult Scout leaders.

I'm personally glad that the funding will end because of this horrible policy. No one should be denied to lead a group/be part of one because of their sexual orientation. However, the ban should be lifted soon.
