This article discusses employment discrimination against gay men and reveals challenges in the workplace, spanning hiring practices, promotion opportunities, and workplace culture. Hostile work environments, characterized by harassment and exclusion, further compound these challenges, often resulting in psychological distress and diminished job satisfaction. The discriminatory effects are so detrimental to the point where some gay men are relegated from a high business position to a lower white-collar or "feminine" profession. I would use this article in a lecture to show my students the prevalence of biases and stereotypes, leading to barriers in recruitment and career advancement for gay men.

This news article discusses how Arnold Schwarzenegger signed a bill requiring health insurance courage for partners of gay and lesbian workers. His actions, particularly when signing bills that diverged from traditional conservative values, caused much outrage from conservatives, such as Rev. Louis Sheldon. Schwarzenegger's decision-making reflects the complexities of governing in a diverse state like California, where change was necessary during that time. I would use this news article in my lecture so my students can see that even high-profile celebrities fought for the equality of same-sex couples.

Elliot, Stuart. "Advertising: Suit Over Sex in Beer Ads Comes as Genre Changes." New York Times (1923-), Nov 12, 1991, pp. 1. ProQuest, https://www.proquest.com/historical-newspapers/advertising/docview/108702020/se-2.

This article discusses women workers at Stroh Brewery Company who filed a lawsuit against the company due to their ad seemingly promoting sexism. The ad featured young women in bikinis. The debate towards sexualized content in marketing, particularly in industries like alcohol, has been dating back to the 50s. However, later in the article, Stuart Elliot discusses how some beer companies in the St. Louis area have been shifting the landscape of advertising, where traditional strategies are being changed in light of evolving social norms and values. I would use this news article in my lecture to show my students that sexism was so widespread that even beer ads were susceptible to gender inequality.

Eskow, Lisa R. “The Ultimate Weapon?: Demythologizing Spousal Rape and Reconceptualizing Its Prosecution.” Stanford Law Review, vol. 48, no. 3, 1996, pp. 677–709. JSTOR, https://doi.org/10.2307/1229280.

This article explores the legal and social complexities surrounding spousal rape to challenge prevalent myths and misconceptions surrounding the issue. To make the reader understand the impact of individuals' misconceived notions of marital rape on laws, Lisa Eskow provides evidence from a case study on California's legislative and prosecutorial

responses to marital rape. She later examines efforts to reconceptualize the prosecution of spousal rape, so that there are proper legal reforms for this crime. I would use this article in a lecture because marital rape isn't really an issue that a lot of people talk about, hence why it would be a great discussion for students to learn about. As a result, more people's awareness and outrage of the issue would increase.

"Drag Legalized" talks about how Lee Brewster, the transgender activist, and American drag queen, found out that Italy legalized drag just after previously visiting Rome. She discusses how Italian men love their drag queens. Whereas, "Drag Queen Slain" discusses how LA police tried to arrest Larry Turner, a drag queen, for prostitution. As a result, she was killed due to alleged pulling out a gun and resisting arrest. I would use this news article in my lecture because it would paint a picture of the situations that drag queens faced in the 70s. Specifically, the lesson would be for students to look at the differences in situations drag queens faced depending on the geographical location where drag queens lived.

BELKIN, LISA. "Planned Parenthood of New York Begins Abortion Training: Taking on a Role Many Teaching Hospitals have Dropped Under Pressure. New York Planned Parenthood Starts Abortion Training as Hospitals Drop it." New York Times (1923-), Jun 19, 1993, pp. 23.

This news article discusses Planned Parenthood of New York re-establishing abortion training for doctors interested in learning. The re-establishing of abortion training is due to the external pressures that many teaching hospitals moved away from. Some agencies, such as the Right To Life Committee, have been angered by the resurgence of the teachings due to committed views against reproductive rights. However, Planned Parenthood of New York has been a great opportunity for doctors and graduates wanted to expand their knowledge of abortion procedures. I would use this news article in my lecture to show my students the significant progress Planned Parenthood of New York has made in affirming its pivotal role in advocating for reproductive rights and the health equity of women.

This article explores the impact of online platforms on the dynamics of modern dating and relationship formation. The researchers used longitudinal studies to discover if their hypotheses on the dramatic change were correct. Comparing data from the How Couples Meet and Stay Together 2009 survey and the National Health and Social Life Survey helped us understand how couples were introduced to each other. However, the data from How Couples Meet and Stay Together contributed to understanding how heterosexual and homosexual couples met during that time. The research showed that the percentage of Americans finding their soulmate on the internet skyrocketed and continues to increase while using traditional methods to find a partner is becoming nonexistent. I would use this article in my lecture because it talks about how the creation of the internet revolutionized the way people connect and interact, leading to a significant increase in online dating.
