In preparation for this blog discussion, view this week’s Start Seeing Diversity video sections on “Gender” and “Sexual Orientation.” Additionally, spend some time reviewing two or three items from the following categories of media: children’s books, cartoons, comic books, television shows and/or commercials, toys or games, toy stores, product packaging, video games, children’s songs/music and/or observing children on playgrounds or in early childhood settings. Then, thoughtfully consider messages a young child might glean. Also, consider experiences you had as a child and have had as an adult related to homophobia and heterosexism. It may also be helpful to listen to the following optional resource found in this week’s Learning Resources to guide your thinking: NPR audio story “Two families grapple with sons’ gender identity: Psychologists take radically different approaches in therapy.”
