Legislating Sexuality
Words: 1068 - Pages: 4.... mind to homosexuality.
Since the dawn of American history, equal rights among U.S. citizens has
been a hotly debated issue. With the Civil War and Lincoln's Emancipation
Proclamation, slavery was prohibited. Women gained the right to vote with the
ratification of the Constitution's nineteenth amendment on August 26, 1920(Cooke,
157). Although African Americans gained suffrage through the fifteenth amendment
in 1870 (Cooke, 151), it was not until the passing of the Civil Rights Act of

Some examples of professional athletes that inspire youth are Tiger Woods, Michael Jordan, Peyton Manning, and Chamique Holdsclaw. .....

being loyal to his beliefs.
