Gay And Lesbian Issues

Gay and Lesbian issues is a term that refers to the issues - personal, political, legal, social, sexual, etc. that affect homosexual individuals and their interaction with society. As homosexuality is not a universally accepted lifestyle, many issues occur that involve full social acceptance and can cause problems with prejudice in relationships, employment, education, housing, child-rearing and many other life experiences that heterosexual individuals take for granted. This has become a controversial area of study that seeks to educate and enlighten the heterosexual world about the problems and realities of the gay/lesbian lifestyle.
