I find it extremely offensive that in a time where the world has come to accept people for more than just their sexual background that a person will still be judged by some people in society. I am a straight man and before I was old enough to understand why someone would be homosexual or bisexual I didn't understand why a person would be that. When I first started working at my job at Boston Pizza I was fifteen and was a quiet person compared to who I am today. We were told we were getting a manager and thats all we were told turns out he was gay and some people were completely uncomfortable with who he was and actually quit because of it. I decided to give the guy a chance and he is one of my really good friends now! No one thinks of him as being gay he doesn't come around and hit on every guy that moves and I think it is important to remember that people with a different sexual orientation probably do not want to get with you and most likely leave you alone. I am glad in this class we were able to talk so freely and openly about different types of things and I hope this opened peoples minds about what other things go on in the world that they are not aware of!
