6th. Community-Global Awareness.

i attended this Community-Global Awareness workshop on november 12th during 12:30PM to 2:30PM in the VC building room 215. the workshop was about a former councilman Alfonso Quiroz, as he sheds light on the issue of being an openly gay man while holding political power. i found the workshop was quite interesting, considering how the speaker talked about how great he felt when he first came out. He spoke with experience even though he just came out 6years ago ( he’s currently 33 years old). he was a great speaker, talked non-stop with information concerning gay people and their actions and rights in their jobs. he said most people he worked with are fine with him being gay. according psychology, people who acts extremely harsh on gay people are trying to express their forbidden feelings.  they are either didn’t come out yet, or just trying to fit the society. because not everyone is happy with gay people, that is why people are afraid to come out and they behave aggressive towards gay people. the speaker spoke with ethusiam, but most people asked questions unrelated to the subject. they just asked about his past life he talked about, like working as a intern in the White House and his experience as a councilman. the workshop provided light refreshment, they were great. some people just came for the free food and soda. Overall, the workshop was quite fun, and it gave me an idea of how gay people would be in the society and their position in the world. i would recommend this workshop to everyone who wants to attend a Community-Global awareness workshop. the speaker was great, he spoke clearly and undoubt, informational.
