After doing this project my group came up with many solutions into making someone feel better about themselves when their community thinks otherwise.
For these, we'll be showing a couple of skits written in second person.
Skit 1
One bright sunny day you're walking down the street. You see someone who is quite different from you. The first thing that comes to your mind is, "He's gay." But instead of making judgment, comments, or facial expressions you keep a strait face and stay quiet. You then notice that he has the latest style of shoes on. As you get closer to him you say, "Aay man, them shoes wet!"
The person seems quite happy because of the comment. "Thank you!" He says, walking away with a smile.
Skit 2
You are gathering and you notice that two people of the same gender are sending subliminal messages at each other because they are attracted to each other. You also notice that neither seems to be willing to make a move to the other, most likely afraid of what others would say. You decide to do something about it, you walk up to one of them and say, "Go talk to him, he's a pretty cool guy, you should so go talk to him!"
The person looks slightly nervous. "No, what if someone says something about it?"
"Don't worry about what other people say!" You encourage. "Worry about how you approach that guy you like."
He looks much more sure of himself now, much more determined and ready to take a chance. "Okay, I'll go for it. Thanks for the encouragement."
"No problem." You reply.
That is so true I really be doing that.

I love gay people and i don't care what other people think because if anyone wants to be gay or lesbo they can be what ever they want. and people can hate all they want because they are jealous or something.. just let people live there life. and if they are happy with being what gay or lesbo let them be happy the way there are !!!!!
