Lesbians: Discrimination
built 193 days ago
In a 1998 study that analyzed 50 years of coverage of gay and lesbian issues in Time and Newsweek, Lisa Bennett found that news media reinforce prejudice and discrimination against gays and lesbians. She observes that gays and lesbians are often linked to deviant or criminal behaviour without evidence to support such claims; and that the media often reprint offensive and homophobic comments. Bennett concludes that such practices reinforce assumptions that gays and lesbians are inherently inferior.

This is an article about discrimination toward lesbians within the healthcare industry. Lesbians do not receive healthcare with the same high standards as do heterosexual females. Doctors that do not approve of homosexuality make this clear to their lesbian clients, which discourages them from returning for necessary follow-up visits. For this and other reasons, the heal of lesbians has decreased in recent years. [Recommended by Kimberly Spitz.]

They've never met a smoking restriction that they haven't embraced, they love to raise tobacco taxes and they never lose an opportunity to demonstrate their utter contempt for those who smoke.
