What does it mean to be American? What does the American Look like and Sound like? How do we see ourselves in the world? How does the rest of the world see us?

Question:  What does it mean to be an American? What does the American look like and sound like? How do we see ourselves in te world? How does the rest of the world see us?  Answer: America is defined as the land of the Free and the home of the Brave, a nation that prides itself on giving everyone equal civil rights. Unfortunately, the United States of America does not live up to this standard, and leaves a very important group out of the mix-the LGBTQ community. Gays and lesbians have been denied basic human rights for many years, and now it's time to give them the rights they deserve. They are human beings with human emotions and deserve the right to marry, participate in the army regardless of their sexual orientation, and have proper job security. Throughout my "museum", you will find examples of what it means to be an American, what Americans sound and look like, how we see ourselves in the world, and how others see us.
