She offers specific examples from the Bible and her own personal opinion. 
What are your initial thoughts of the article? Does it coincide with what the textbook (Authentic Sexuality) talks about? If yes, how? If no, how not?]]> 2017-01-25 04:48:50 UTC https://padlet.com/EmilyPerez/pxsb5mufecmf/wish/149220675 EmilyPerez https://padlet.com/EmilyPerez/pxsb5mufecmf/wish/151041132 This article describes the incompetence of current sex and relationship education (SRE) programs in school. It states that today's young generation "has been exposed to low self-esteem, homophobia, bullying, unhealthy relationships and poor sexual health as a result of the lack of quality SRE in our schools." Is this surprising? Why are schools not giving effective education about sexuality? Lastly, should schools include matters such as sexual violence, rape, LBGT relationships, masturbation, and others factors of sexuality outside of simple anatomy? Why or why not?]]> 2017-02-02 05:02:52 UTC https://padlet.com/EmilyPerez/pxsb5mufecmf/wish/151041132 EmilyPerez https://padlet.com/EmilyPerez/pxsb5mufecmf/wish/151204486 I found this diagram very interesting. It points to different areas of the body as the source of its label. For example, gender in the brain and orientation in the heart. It also provides various spectrums at the bottom for each label. To what degree do you agree or disagree with this diagram? ]]> 2017-02-02 16:41:42 UTC https://padlet.com/EmilyPerez/pxsb5mufecmf/wish/151204486 EmilyPerez https://padlet.com/EmilyPerez/pxsb5mufecmf/wish/153291825 This is a short article in which the author openly discusses her confusion regarding her sexual preference.

Is it okay to be confused about your sexuality?]]> 2017-02-12 18:23:35 UTC https://padlet.com/EmilyPerez/pxsb5mufecmf/wish/153291825 EmilyPerez https://padlet.com/EmilyPerez/pxsb5mufecmf/wish/154814626 This is a spoken word poem in which the artist offers ten responses to the phrase "man up". He touches on topics regarding gender roles and stereotypes and the tendency of society to encourage boys to be tough and have no feelings. What is your response to the video? Why do you think no one ever says to "woman up"? How does the "man up" phrase affect violence, mental health issues, and suicide?

The school argues that it is their job to expose children to a world of diversity.  They mention they must be tolerant of children and parents of all backgrounds while the father questions where his tolerance it.  Does learning about homosexuality endanger our spiritual safety? ]]> 2017-03-06 06:19:20 UTC https://padlet.com/EmilyPerez/pxsb5mufecmf/wish/157926293 EmilyPerez https://padlet.com/EmilyPerez/pxsb5mufecmf/wish/158485102 This article describes how men who abstain from sex until marriage sometimes struggle with sex once they are married. These men are often taught that sex outside of marriage is animalistic and foul, but sacred within a marriage and this leads them to be confused and lost when the times comes. How should we, as Christians, teach the transition from "sex is bad" to "sex is holy"?]]> 2017-03-07 20:03:41 UTC https://padlet.com/EmilyPerez/pxsb5mufecmf/wish/158485102 EmilyPerez https://padlet.com/EmilyPerez/pxsb5mufecmf/wish/162538715 This article discusses transgender rights and House Bill 2 that allows for gay or transgender people to be fired from jobs or denied service at businesses simply because of their sexuality. This bill also mandates that establishments can deny transgender individuals the right to use the rest room assigned to their identified gender. The author describes how we as a society need to change the way we view and treat transgender people and that as humans, we all deserve to be treated as equals. They emphasize the importance of education and empathy. What is your reaction to this? Should transgender individuals be denied the right to use the restroom that they identify with? Why or why not? ]]> 2017-03-25 03:03:22 UTC https://padlet.com/EmilyPerez/pxsb5mufecmf/wish/162538715 EmilyPerez https://padlet.com/EmilyPerez/pxsb5mufecmf/wish/163583781 This article deals with the occurrence of homophobia in the church.

We are often only taught about the repercussions of having sex before marriage but we aren't taught about how to live with shame and guilt when we do mess up. What are your thoughts on the article?
