GenderAndSexualityAnimationsbooksCartoonsClassroom ActivitiesGrowing Up with Homosexual Parents Submitted by Steven Walfish, Ph.D. psychpubs@aol.com I have an exercise that I used in Psychology of Adjustment when discussing parenting. I have students break up into small groups and discuss how their lives would be similar/different if instead of being raised by a mom and a dad that they were raised by two dads or two moms (or if they were raised by two moms or dads being raised by heterosexual parents) I ask them to focus on the effects of having gay parents on psychological adjustment and their own sexual preference. We then come back as a large group and discuss their impressions. I then present them the data on the APA Task Force on the effects of growing up with gay parents which demonstrates no negative psychological effects and no greater incidence of being gay. It is interesting to compare their impressions, fears, and prejudices with the actual data. If there are students in the class who have been raised by gay parents they will often chime in on the discussion and this helps to "make it real." This is usually a lively class session. Using Vagina Monologues Submitted by Soni Verma Sverma@sierracollege.edu Sometimes I have shown the video in class and asked students to write a response to it. It is powerful but lengthy.Sometimes I ask them to watch the play and write a reation paper to it for extra credit.However the best way to integrate this work in the sex class is to ask the students the same questions that Eve asks in the play and read the annonymous responses in class.Foe example If your penis/vagina could talk to you what would it say to you? This activity really breaks the ice when we talk about male and female anatomy. Class DemonstrationsHomework ideaslistservsMoviessubmitted by Wendi Born- Baker University
