Key takeaways:● Compulsory heterosexuality appears in our lives in many ways, including conversations, thegendering of everything, and toys.● Listening to other people's stories is one of the best ways to learn and change our perceptionsof LGBTQIA+● We don't always have to understand the how or why behind everyone, but if we can see thehumanity in them, we have less to fear.● When we don't know things, we fill in the blanks with assumptions, which can be harmful.● There is no bullet list of what to say or not say to LGBTQ+ individuals, but connecting withother humans, especially ones that aren't like us, can help us understand and see theirhumanity.● Homophobia still exists because the queer identity is still sometimes seen as taboo, scandalous, ordirty.● It is essential to educate everyone, especially queer kids, on sexual health.● Having open and honest conversations is crucial in understanding and accepting people whoidentify differently from themselves.
By having open and honest conversations and connecting with others who are different from us, wecan move towards a more inclusive and accepting society for all.
