Yes, I find myself communicating differently with those of a
different sexual orientation. It is not because I have a prejudice against
those who are of a different sexual orientation than mine. I usually find
myself communicating differently because I do not wish to offend them.
I think
this is because of my sparse knowledge of the culture. I find that I am careful
with my words, gestures and facial expressions because of this. I find that I
am walking on eggshells because of this. However, this course has shown me that
the way to overcome this is to become knowledgeable. I also must avoid
embracing stereotypes and assumptions that certain communication will be offensive. This is a must because of the diverse
world that I now live, work and teach in.
