Minority Subcultures


The gay community or LGBT that means Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender is a community that is all over the world although in Colombia they are not that recognized because they’re just starting to grow up as a community and being accepted by all the people. This community celebrates pride, diversity, individuality and sexuality. This community is working for sexual equality and sexual freedom also for being accepted as normal people who deserve the same rights than any other person.
A professor in Colombia demanded the article 46 of the constitution which prohibits the causes of misbehavior in the teaching activity because this article has homosexuality as one of this causes.
He demanded this article because it states as unconstitutional because of being against articles 13, 15, 16, 25 and 26. And the article 46 also violates the free personality development, equality and the intimacy rights, which demands that all the people should be treated with equality and that people should not discriminate by sexual reasons, that everybody is free to choose his life including sexual orientation and that sexuality is part of the intimacy of each one and it has no relation with the abilities or aptitudes of the people.
Personally I think that this community should be accepted in the society because all of them have the same rights that everybody, they are not different just by their sexual orientations and they have same opportunities capacities and aptitudes than everybody. Is their life, that's what they've picked for them and it do not affects others life.
