Recently, When I was in my college writing 122 class, I had an experience with a straight classmate that got me thinking about the way gay, bi, transgender, and lesbian people are being looked at these days. I'm a bi girl, but I'm pretty quiet about it, so most people around me don't know. Anyway, my class was analyzing paragraphs about four different people, in little groups. Each group had to choose which of the people they would hire for the job of History teacher at a Highschool. One of the choices was a Lesbian named Mary. Happily, the majority of the class chose her, but it happened while everyone was debating about who would be the best and safest teacher, that a woman in another group across from mine started arguing about how Mary, a lesbian who was willing to keep her sexuality "out of the classroom", would definitely be a ***** and molest the girls in the highschool class and so should not be hired, because apparently this woman had only heard bad things about gay people. This really offended me and it got me to thinking about stereotypes and prejudice. So, has anything like that happened around you before and what do you think we can do about it as a whole?
