I Bought My Parents A 1-Hour “LGBT+ 101” Crash Course And Then Quizzed Them On It — Here’s What They Learned
"After this 1 hour course, you'll understand who are part of the LGBT+ community and what it means to be Lesbian, Gay, Bi, Trans, Queer, or one of the many other groups of people that fall within this community.You will also be able to have good, respectful conversation on the topic of LGBT+ as you'll know exactly what all terms mean, which ones to use when, and which words not to use.You will be learning from someone that is actually a part of the LGBT+ community herself :)"I didn't reveal their grade to them though, since I wanted them to learn from the course, not from my red pen marking up their quiz.
I did correctly guess though that we would get half the questions right (you can see my predicted score in blue pen).Y'all...they're trying.
Their own answers are in blue marker. Afterwards, I privately underlined in red pen where I felt I'd place them based on my experiences with them.While it is only one hour, I would've preferred to go through the content in several sittings rather than just one.
But it was the last night I was at my parents' place, and they were sweet enough to stay up late past 10:30 p.m. to go through the course with me.And in case you'd like to know too, the LGBTQQIAP2S+ acronym stands for: Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, Questioning, Intersex, Asexual, Pansexual, 2-Spirit, and the "+" is meant to be inclusive of our ever-expanding community, as we all continue to learn more about ourselves outside of the typical heteronormative binary of heterosexual and homosexual.
