A student-requested class that will take a historical and sociological look at how cultures have embraced, accepted, rejected, or ignored people who were non-heterosexual. We will utilize writings, films, and literature about and by LGBTQ+ people and study individuals who did not live as heterosexuals. We will look at major events in history that have shaped and impacted how society views the LGBTQ+ community and how the LGBTQ+ community sees itself. Some of these recent events may include the Holocaust, Stonewall, AIDS, and the Marriage Equality Movement.

Class will require student input as to specific areas of interest.

Students should bring writing implement and paper to class each week.

Students will need access to Theresa’s website homeschoolingclasses.com in order to access readings and assignments.
