The Rise Of Homosexuality In America Today is written to identify and discuss the struggles and unfair treatment, violence, discrimination and other abuse the homosexual community is subjected to in the United States. My analysis is based on several studies I conducted over a ten year period. Having conducted various studies and with my psychology, crimonology, and social work background, I realized that there are two types of homosexuals, "true homosexuals" and "society-made homosexuals." I use this book to identify, define and address the differences between the true homosexual community and the society-made homosexual community, as they are very different. The book also takes an in-depth look at the increase of the homosexual population and its increasing power. It also takes a look at the lives of homosexuals in the United States as they relate to heterosexuals. I discuss sensitive topics, such as coming out; the danger of rearing very young children in homosexual relationships; homosexual marriages; spousal benefits; and how HIV/AIDS negatively impacted the homosexual community. Additionally, this book also compares and contrasts female and male homosexual relationships. Moreover, I discuss the history and future of the homosexual community and its financial strength. I identify and discuss employment, religion, politics, and law as they relate to homosexuals in this society. Additionally, I identify and discuss the interplay between schools, communities, clubs and organizations and the homosexual community. Ultimately, this book details various aspects of homosexuality and the homosexual community. It is meant to motivate and encourage heterosexual people to be more accepting of and more respectful to homosexual people because they are people and this is the United States, a place where we are free to be who we want to be.
About the Author: Well before publishing his first novel, he knew he would become a writer. Having grown up in a house with eleven other children and reared by his grandparents, he had a story to share. Born on July 22, 1958 in Charleston, South Carolina, William Richardson had dreams of making it big. He had to tell his story, touch the lives of others, and most importantly make a difference. Growing up was tough, as his grandparents had to take care of him and his uncles and aunts on a meager income. Despite the struggles, William preserved. He graduated high school, became a law enforcement officer and worked with several law enforcement agencies. Later, he earned several degrees. He holds a bachelor's of Science degree in criminology, a Masters in clinical psychology and a Masters in social work. He studied clinical psychology under a doctoral program for one year, and also attended law school for one year. During and after earning his degree, William studied human nature and behavior. He studied the behavior and development of many different groups, especially that of the homosexual community. Over a period of more than ten years, he continued to observe and compile information and other data concerning the homosexual community. During this period, he had several different employments, including owning and running two businesses. However, the focus continued toward gathering information and studying the homosexual community from as many perspectives as possible. Because there were so many changes taking place within the homosexual community, as is the current case, it forced him to reevaluate some of the older data and conduct new studies. Also, having relocated multiple times; dealt with many struggles and challenges; and having four children, lots of data and time committed to writing this book was lost. This resulted in William having to conduct several new studies and more research, which extended the time of finishing and publishing this book. However, his dedication and motivation prevented him from being deterred, and now his first book is completed. Through this book, he is fulfilling his dreams of touching and educating people about a serious concern in our society and world; and therefore, making a difference.
