Our research question is, "Do you feel like you are happy withing yourself and the way the world sees you?" The main questions that we wanted to answer were, "Do you feel like you are an outcast to your community? How do you think your community treats you as a person? Why do you feel a certain way about homosexuals? How would you like the world to treat you?"
We picked these questions as the major questions to ask because the bases of this this project was to pick a topic on what our community needs to improve on. With this in mind, we decided to work on eliminating homophobia. We chose this topic because we feel, as a group, that people should treat homosexuals with respect and as if they weren't attracted to the same sex. We also believe that everyone should be treated the equally no matter what sex they are attracted to. That does not decline them as an individual. In our project, we interviewed people who are homosexual, people who are homophobic, and teachers at our school (Envision Academy) who see homosexuality and who see homophobia. Now that we have this information, we hope to get people to treat homosexuals with respect and to make them comfortable. It was important that we did this research rather than adults because it happens more with teenagers/youth than with adults.
