Have you ever wondered what was the most memory or moment in your life growing up or an event that made you who you are today? Well there were so many memories in my life or situations that made me who I am today, there was a time when I was not sure what my orientation was, as my secret began to overwhelmed me with stress and awareness, and when I wanted came out to the people that were close to me and tell them that I was and still am a homosexual. Before I revealed my sexual orientation to everyone, I was wondering if I was homosexual or not, it started in the beginning of September in 2009. During My last year of Junior High at Luther Jackson Middle School, as I always hanged out with my friends and experienced middle school, I started paying attention to guys more often than I did, it me think about them and felt attracted to them. After a while I started having feelings towards my best friend Fernando Noda. We always spent a lot of time and had fun together, but during the time I was still too nervous and scared to tell him or anyone. It would always build more pressure the longer I kept my secret. As soon as middle school was over, a couple months after I was moving away from Fairfax County to Prince William County. My thoughts about our Family were depressing. I never wanted to move because I did not want to leave my friends and of course my best friend Fernando. as weeks past I did not like the new place our family was moving to. The longer we stayed in Prince William County, the more my depression grew. I was still never able to tell him about my feelings for him and to this day I regret still regret that I never told him, but hopefully in time I will be able to visit him to tell him what I feel. As soon as my family and I moved in and settled in Prince William County, my mother was registering me to Osbourn Park High School. During my first year of Osbourn Park High I never thought I was ever welcomed and believed to be thought of as an outcaste by

    Heterosexism is a term used to describe people who discriminate against gays and lesbians. Throughout history, an intimate relationship between members of the opposite sex was considered the norm, and breaking this norm would make a person deviant. From birth, children are taught certain characteristics on how boys and girls are suppose to behave. Children learn these things from their parents, the schools they attend, and society that they live in. The characteristics that they learn shapes them into what they become when they’re adults. According to Barrie Thorne, “the sociological significance of children’s play is that boys and girls are helping to socialize one another into primary adult gender roles, girls being more concerned with intimacy, emotions, and romance, and boys with independence and sexuality (pg. 180)”. As children we are taught that sex and sexuality are about becoming mommies or daddies, we then bring that knowledge into our teenage lives and eventually into adulthood. We are taught that being heterosexual is normal and homosexuality and bisexual as wrong and out of the norm. Although heterosexuality dates all the way back to the days of Adam and Eve, the term didn’t come into effect until the late nineteenth century. The purpose of this paper is to give examples of how heterosexism has become institutionalized in the American social system.…

    Metrosexuals Come Out

    The article I chose to do my research paper on is Metrosexuals Come Out by Warren St. John. I chose this article because I have heard of the term metrosexual, but I never had a full understanding of what it means or who it was referring to. What is a metrosexual? According to Metrosexuals Come Out, it’s a feminized man. Most men who take care of themselves fall way short of being a metrosexual. The term metrosexual only applies to a small group of men. According to the article more products that were usually reserved for female consumers are now being marketed towards men. It’s true that more products are being geared towards this “New Age” man. However, sales of the products aren’t where they could be because marketers haven’t figured out how to market to the Middle Man. (The man between being a “manly man”, and being a “metrosexual”).…

    Sexual Orientation

    • 3 Pages

    In our day and age, being of a sexual orientation other than heterosexual is somewhat common. Though it is definitely not considered a norm, it is more accepted in most parts of the world. A few years ago, people who were not heterosexual had to hide who they really were in order to be accepted by society. Because of this norm, one automatically assumes they are straight whether it comes to themselves or others. So how do homosexual/asexual people become conscious of their sexual orientation?…

    It was one of my many off days I have, which usually isn’t the day to screw with me. It was first hour health my junior year of high school, and it just so happened to be the day we talked about homosexuals, and homosexual sex. We got threw about half the hour, and out of the blue a boy in my class yells out, “Are you gay?” all of the sudden I’m in complete shock! The classroom grew quiet in the drop of a hat it grew so quiet you could hear the kid next to you texting. I can’t even explain in words the feeling that took over me. It took me a second to realize what just happened, and to respond to his question. My response to his question was “Yes I am! Do you have a problem with that?” but in nicer wording nothing was said after that thank god for the bell. The rest of the day sucked I felt like every time I walked past someone they would look at me like I was the plague, or they would talk about me to there friends as if I couldn’t hear them. The next week was pretty much the same. I never thought me coming out, as an open gay male in high school would be so rough. In time though things got better people either accepted it or they didn’t either way I was done with caring about what other people thought of me.…

    Homosexuals are individuals who prefer having affairs with someone of the same sex as them. In America homosexuality is frowned upon by many people especially people in the Church and individuals who believe in only heterosexual relationships. Back in the day homosexuality was frowned upon to the highest extent people viewed it as a disease. In other countries if anyone was found in any homosexual activities the punishment would be death. I know in Jamaica they have a cliff where they hang individuals who are gay or accused in homosexual activities. Other countries individuals are stoned to death. But now as times have changed many people are becoming open to the homosexual culture especially in the united states. Many people still frown upon though. In the united states the only states to legalize gay marriage are Connecticut, Iowa, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Vermont. The rest either banned it or haven’t taken it into consideration.…

    It was about the middle of the summer of 1998, when I was at grade nine, that I realized that being two different people was the worst thing that I could done to myself and that I did have other options. Around that time, a major influence on my life was my cousin, Thilani. She taught me that I would only live once and that I should be the person that I was and not some one that just tries to fit in. We were sitting a in a coffee shop, one evening, when she asked me the one question than changed my life. “Who are you?” When I first heard this question I hesitated to answer. This question opened a new door in my mind that had never been opened before. This was the first question that had actually made me think about myself and who I was. The more I thought about her question the more I realized that I had a decision to make; to be the person who tried to fit in and cared what other people thought or to be myself. For the past 15 years I had tried to fit in, and I had cared what other people thought and this…
