Reflection Prompt
Use this personal reflection as an opportunity to explore how you think about gender, gender roles, sexual identity, sexual expression, and sexual orientation. Please consider all that influences your thinking, such as family, religion, culture, environment, education, social status, and economic status. Include fears and misconceptions, interactions with friends, colleagues, and family members whose beliefs and practices may differ from your own and how you navigate those differences or where your beliefs and practices have differed from those in your immediate sphere. Has there ever been a time in your life when you have felt marginalized by your own beliefs and practices or have marginalized others for their beliefs and practices?
