From the Paper:

"Harris (1999) explains that multiculturalism also encompasses sexual orientation, gender and alternative lifestyles (lifestyles that are separate from traditional American Values) (Harris 1999). Because our society is composed of people who differ greatly in terms of race ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation and lifestyles there is a constant battle over what is acceptable in mainstream society (Harris 1999, Hinz 1996)."
