  1. Hello, everybody. My name is Taylor.
  2. And today I'm gonna be talking about sexual orientation.
  3. So I have a few different types on the screen.
  4. We're gonna go one by one and I am just gonna
  5. cover briefly on what each of those examples are gonna be.
  6. Um So first we're gonna start with overview
  7. um sexual orientation is when someone is attracted to someone else
  8. or they want to be in a relationship with someone else.
  9. Um Different examples of sexual orientation is anyone who is straight, gay,
  10. bisexual, a lesbian
  11. asexuals or pain, sexual.
  12. Um And that's just how they identify sexually.
  13. So
  14. a person does not have a choice in who they are sexually attracted to.
  15. And research has shown that sexual orientation starts
  16. before birth, which I found really, really interesting.
  17. Um
  18. So sexual orientation is just how someone identifies sexually,
  19. whether that is again gay, straight, bisexual, pansexual, sexual
  20. or even straight.
  21. Um
  22. So we're gonna go to stereotypes.
  23. So
  24. there are a lot of stereotypes.
  25. Yeah,
  26. and
  27. sexual orientation
  28. um there are positive and negative stereotypes
  29. when it comes to sexual orientation,
  30. for example, a positive stereotype
  31. for sexual orientation is that
  32. they intend to be
  33. straight doors that are heterosexual men,
  34. negative stereotypes that I found was that
  35. that gay men are more likely to molest a child.
  36. Um Again, all of these
  37. stereotypes that are out there in the
  38. world.
  39. Um
  40. There are plenty more examples of positive and negative stereotypes
  41. when it comes to sexual orientation.
  42. Anyone who is a part of the LGBT Q I A plus community.
  43. Um So now one of the most current stereotypes that I personally ever
  44. um
  45. they are
  46. so
  47. when someone claims to have a guitar,
  48. they
  49. um
  50. OK,
  51. being able to protect to, to see that someone is gay or part of the LGBT Q I A plus
  52. without having that conversation about their sexual orientation. First,
  53. that is definitely one of
  54. the most popular stereotypes when it comes to
  55. the elder thinking about a plus community.
  56. Uh
  57. Next, we're gonna talk about different examples in society
  58. like
  59. a
  60. orientation,
  61. someone who is heterosexual or straight.
  62. Oh
  63. MS A society has started accepting people in the LGBT Q I A plus community
  64. still facing discrimination, for example, experience experiencing
  65. discrimination in their personal lives or in their workplace.
  66. So an example that I have for this one is in the workplace,
  67. let's say that you and one of your coworkers
  68. are put up for a permission but only one of you gets it.
  69. One of you is a part of the LGBT Q I plus community and what isn't?
  70. Oh
  71. No problem
  72. because they aren't gay or a lesbian or bisexual
  73. but you are.
  74. Yeah.
  75. Good price
  76. that heterosexual or straight person over
  77. because you're a part of the LGBT Q I A plus community.
  78. Next,
  79. we're gonna talk about what you can do as
  80. a teacher and how you communicate with your students,
  81. um
  82. what their sexual orientation is
  83. and they're comfortable enough to bring it to you
  84. and openly talk to you about their sexual orientation.
  85. Listen,
  86. I know for some,
  87. it may be hard because you don't 100% agree with
  88. uh people having different sexual orientations than you might.
  89. Um If you are not comfortable talking to your student about their
  90. sexual orientation or about the LGBT Q I A plus community,
  91. my best advice to you is to send them to a school counselor or a school psychiatrist,
  92. someone reliable that they can talk to if you're not comfortable with doing so
  93. um doing this not only shows trust to the student
  94. from yourself or from the staff at the school,
  95. but it also shows that
  96. no matter what that student is
  97. going through at home,
  98. they have someone to talk to whether that is about
  99. their sexual orientation or about a whole different topic.
  100. Um
  101. But the main piece of this is to just make sure you're there for your students.
  102. And if any of them are ever questioning their sexual orientation,
  103. talk to them if they bring it to you first, but don't push, don't cry.
  104. Some students may see that as you wanting to go against them
  105. and as teachers, we need to be people
  106. that students can approach and students feel like
  107. they could talk to us about things.
  108. Um
  109. So that was my short little lesson about sexual orientations.
  110. If you have any questions,
  111. please let me know I would be more than happy to answer them.
  112. Um And again, thank you so much.
