2. If the World Were 100 People
If we could shrink the Earth’s population to a village of precisely 100 people,
with all of the existing human ratios remaining the same, it would look something like this:
There would be:
60 Asians
12 Europeans
9 South Americans
5 North Americans
1 Oceanian
13 Africans
73 Non-Whites
27 Whites
50 Female
50 Male
67 would be non-Christian
33 Christian
60 percent of the world’s wealth would be in the hands of 6 people
33 would live in substandard housing
16 would be unable to read
33 would suffer from malnutrition
96 would be Heterosexual
4 would be Homosexual
10 people would own a computer
1 person would be near death
1 person would be near birth
6 people would have a college education

4. Sexuality Survey What do you think caused your heterosexuality?
When did you decide you were heterosexual?
Could it be that your heterosexuality is just a phase?
To whom have you disclosed your heterosexuality?
If you have never slept with someone of your same-gender, then how do you know you wouldn’t prefer it?

5. Sexuality Survey
Is it likely that you haven’t met the right same-gender partner yet?
Why do you flaunt your lifestyle with wedding rings, photos at work, and talk of your heterosexual escapades?
Your heterosexuality doesn’t offend me as long as you don’t try to come on to me, but why do so many heterosexuals try to seduce others to their orientation?

6. Sexuality Survey
Considering the battering, abuse and divorce rate associated with heterosexual coupling, why would you want to enter into that kind of relationship?
Why do heterosexuals place so much emphasis on sex?
Like Scout in To Kill a Mockingbird, as teachers we need to walk a mile in someone else’s shoes to see what the world looks like in order to gain insight and make our classroom’s a safe place to learn…
for all students.

7. The 911 on GLBTQ 101
GLBTQ is shorthand for Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender, and Questioning
Creating the hate-free zone
Brainstorm: What does “hate-free” mean?
So, what’s acceptable, what’s not?

8. Making Your Class a Safe Zone
What Does the Ed Code Say?
AB 537 (The California Student Safety and Violence Protection Act of 2000)
Protects students, faculty, and staff at public schools and non-religious schools receiving public funding from harassment and discrimination on the basis of actual or perceived sexual orientation and gender identity.
So, what does this mean for your classroom?

CATE 2009
Continuing Your Homwork!
Presenter: Brian Jeffrey
"HOMWORK": WAYS TO FIGHT HOMOPHOBIA AS AN ALLY
Don't make assumptions about peoples' sexual orientations or gender identities. Assume there are GLBTQ people in all classes, sports, meetings, daily life, etc.
Don't assume that "feminine-acting men" and "masculine-acting women" are not heterosexual.
Don't assume that "macho males" or "feminine females" are heterosexual.
