The other day I was assigned a project in my journalism class and I chose my theme as The Perception of Gays, Bisexuals and Lesbians in High School. So as a start I interview my friend Sarah (resident lesbian of the Theater Program) and my friend Christine (Freshman and Christian). Here's what I got:
Me: So Sarah how has being gay affected you in the high school?
Sarah: Well at first I cared what people thought and it was tough but as I went on I realized that it only matters what I think of myself. The people here look down on gays because they aren't normal. Overall we're still the same people we just have different interests.
Me: Christine, how has becoming friends with a lesbian affected your outlook of the gay people?
Christine: Well before high school no one really had gay friends. Not to be mean but just nobody came out. But I got to high school and there are few people now. I met Sarah in the Theater Program and we hit it off. She's really cool and one of my best friends.
As the blog continues I'll have more interviews so look out for them.
