He is the only boy who didn't hide his sexual orientation. The group of boys, or the perpetrators, picked on him and made dirty looks at him. This one boy, Conor stands up for Matthew, and so does all the people in the cafeteria, who decided to stands up to show that they are proud of their sexual orientation. Matthew uses this motivation and is inspired to be proud of his sexual orientation, even though at first he felt "ashamed". mgcastaneda3 https://padlet.com/mgcastaneda3/86tudd75c3ok/wish/255010501 2018-04-24 19:34:45 UTC https://padlet.com/mgcastaneda3/86tudd75c3ok/wish/255010501 mgcastaneda3 https://padlet.com/mgcastaneda3/86tudd75c3ok/wish/255246204 2018-04-25 14:18:10 UTC https://padlet.com/mgcastaneda3/86tudd75c3ok/wish/255246204 Homophobia mgcastaneda3 https://padlet.com/mgcastaneda3/86tudd75c3ok/wish/255246473 In the poem homophobia by an unknown author the message is overcoming- fear,weakness,vice. For example "with all of this hate and anger,turning away people that could be our friends, well we aren't humans; we are actually animals". This quote shows that people who are LGBT are being ignored by the society who can make a difference by giving LGBT people a voice in the community all over the world to express their thoughts and feelings.]]> 2018-04-25 14:18:34 UTC https://padlet.com/mgcastaneda3/86tudd75c3ok/wish/255246473 Homophobia by Old Bule mgcastaneda3 https://padlet.com/mgcastaneda3/86tudd75c3ok/wish/255248796 The overall meaning in the poem Homophobia by Old Blue is effect on the individual. For example, "We're all humans when it comes down to it, and we all deserve the same tights. Everyone should be able to see it". This quote supports the message effect on the individual because the society thinks that being a different orientation or LGBT they don't have the same rights as someone being straight.]]> 2018-04-25 14:22:50 UTC https://padlet.com/mgcastaneda3/86tudd75c3ok/wish/255248796 mgcastaneda3 https://padlet.com/mgcastaneda3/86tudd75c3ok/wish/255251427 2018-04-25 14:27:54 UTC https://padlet.com/mgcastaneda3/86tudd75c3ok/wish/255251427 Girls like me mgcastaneda3 https://padlet.com/mgcastaneda3/86tudd75c3ok/wish/255259693 The fiction book, Girls like me, reinforces many sexual orientations. For example in this book, it is the high school students who are underestimated and let the society know that they aren't straight that they are LGBT. The author seems to suggest that any age, a kid can be a different sexual orientation. Another assumption that is reinforcing is the idea that some of these high school kids don't care what other people think about their sexual orientation. Even though the society is trying tho pull them apart.]]> 2018-04-25 14:42:37 UTC https://padlet.com/mgcastaneda3/86tudd75c3ok/wish/255259693 Heather has two mommies mgcastaneda3 https://padlet.com/mgcastaneda3/86tudd75c3ok/wish/255298886 The picture book, Heather has two mommies, reinforces sexual orientation. For example in this story, it is Heather's two mommies who are different and don't have any problem by their sexual orientation. The author seems to suggest that people can be any sexual orientation they want (LGBT). Another assumption that is reinforced is the idea that Heather only has two mommies but no daddy. ]]> 2018-04-25 15:48:08 UTC https://padlet.com/mgcastaneda3/86tudd75c3ok/wish/255298886 U.S. says transgender students get to use restrooms they choose mgcastaneda3 https://padlet.com/mgcastaneda3/86tudd75c3ok/wish/255402640 LGBT people should use the bathrooms and locker rooms they want. For example, there is no  discrimination of any kind, including discrimination against transgender students on the basis of their sex. Another example is schools must treat LGBT students according to their identity they choose.

For example rainbow flags are being waved proudly over the nation's capital and dozens of U.S cities. Another example the march was being supported by nearly every major national group working on behalf of LGBT Americans. Final example is that they had to be heard and that they had to be sure that they we're not trampled on.]]> 2018-04-25 19:23:00 UTC https://padlet.com/mgcastaneda3/86tudd75c3ok/wish/255411996 mgcastaneda3 https://padlet.com/mgcastaneda3/86tudd75c3ok/wish/255412082 2018-04-25 19:23:13 UTC https://padlet.com/mgcastaneda3/86tudd75c3ok/wish/255412082
