Hi and welcome back to my blog! In this blog post I’ll be discussing everything going on in my research project so far and my plans for my draft such as where I’ll be getting sources from, writing goals, the impact of my research on my life.
If you don’t know, in my blog post 10 I started to explain the process of my project and what I planned on researching about.. the LGBT community and their impact on our world today. I’m still stuck on if I want to make it a paper or do a multi modal project. My teacher was suggesting that we focus on one story in the LGBT community. Quite honestly, I have no idea on what story I want to include in my paper. Not anything from today's age at least. I want to find a story this week that I can add to my paper, but not just any story. I really want something to truly capture the spirit of today and how people are a lot more accepting of the LGBT community in this day and age vs. a decade ago, but how even today people are still fighting for rights. I plan on getting my sources from local news sites, but I want to try and find blogs or interview some of my friends who are apart of the LGBT community as well. I think I would be able to use their stories as the main focus if I wrote a paper but I’m still deciding. My writing goal is to write around 200 words per day when writing my paper or even go over that if I’m in a motivated mood. One thing I know for sure that I want to add to my paper are the Stonewall riots to compare to times from decades ago. Something that I’m struggling with would be finding out who my exact audience is, that, and narrowing it down. I still need to get started on my paper or multi modal project, but at the very least I know that I want to put it in a direction of maybe the violence towards LGBT people and how it’s much better lately but still.. not quite. I’m thinking that I can bring up exact stories of trans people and their murders even today and how even in 2019 they have to fight for protection, simply for being who they are.

Great post update, I think your idea of interviewing people you know in the LGBT community would be interesting to see in order to get a more personal insight on whats really going on in the surrounding community.

Destiny. I am excited to see the comparisons you'll make in your research project. I'm enthusiastic to learn something new. One question I'd like light on from your LGBT friends is, "What is their ideal or hope for american society in the future?""How can I make them feel more accepted as an individual?"
