Write one paragraph about what you think causes homophobia and one paragraph supporting the pride community (second paragraph is optional in the assignment )

I think that religion is one main factor of Homophobia, as in the bible it says "Man shall not sleep with boy," which actually means, "An adult and kid shouldn't be together." Another large reason, is, people don't like change, and some find the stereotypes people lay out odd, when most aren't true and don't apply to a majority of LGBTQ+. The last reason, is, they're scared of the human race collapsing due to lack of reproduction, which is unlikely, as there are still billions of people on the planet.

I support pride, because, people that are in LGBTQ+ are human as much as we are, and deserve rights. They can't help who they love. They're human beings and should be treated as them. They have done nothing to harm us, so why should we harm them?

as for symbolic actions, the narrator's tearing down the wallpaper in an attempt to find the "woman" in the wallpaper represents her struggle to retain or regain her sanity.   the wallpaper has been part of her confinement and by her tearing it down, she is freeing herself from that confinement.

both are bitter over their mistake
