Alternative Sexual Orientation: Evolution of Social Policy from the Conservative Era to Contemporary Times

Abstract: An 8 page overview of the changes which have occurred in regard to social policies concerning homosexuals, transsexuals, and bisexuals between the Conservative Era of the 1950s to today. Outlines policy changes in the workplace and other societal arenas emphasizing that during the Conservative Era those who differed from the mainstream are viewed either in a comical light or as threats to mainstream society and that while changes have been made these changes are not sufficient. Even today, heterosexuals are typically viewed as normal and homosexuals as personifying a type of deviant behavior. Bibliography lists 10 sources.
