Same sex marriages have become more common today. More states are trying to get it legalized more and more everyday. Massachusetts happens to be one of the states that allows these marriages to happen. Marriage equality has caused some serious issues around the world, yet in some places gays and bisexuals are looked down upon. Some can not live freely and be the full person they are. In 2009 the Employment Non-Discrimination Act was passed. It ensures equality in the workplace for everyone, regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity. We've seen it on episodes of the Real World, with people feeling uncomfortable living with a gay person and on America"s Next Top Model,with a transgender trying to become a model. We've heard about the suicides people have committed because they were being made fun of or discriminated against. Gays, Lesbians, Bisexuals and Transgenders have become apart of our world today, but have to face a series of issues because they are different.
