So, the room was very closed; no windows, but food and drinks were provided 🙂 The speakers introduced themselves and reminded us that this was going to be about the gay, lesbian awareness thing; which I didn’t know of when i first went in. They all looked normal compared to how I first portrayed homosexuals. I guess I was just exposed to the radial gays that made their preferences obvious. So then after that, they introduced the main speaker that has prepared a speech about his own experience as a gay. I for one was never really around many homosexuals so I judge based on what I have seen. Being told that the speakers were all homosexuals was somewhat awkward for me. As weird as it seemed, their lives were not much different from ours.
The main speaker’s speech was quite inspirational; as a gay, he has worked in the White House, ran for some elections, and many other jobs that were beyond average. Even for a straight person, it inspires one to aim high no matter what pulls you down. I would highly recommend this to another student because it allows them to see the other side of gays, there is a chance that their perspective of homosexuals will change so this workshop is worth the time to attend.
This workshop seems to be one of the more popular ones this semester!
