I read up on the LGBTQ and the Allies program. I found it interesting and pretty sad at the same time. It's sad that there are even training classes like this. Seriously, it's 2011 and still many in our society refuse to accept people for who they are. Every college campus and workplace should be a safe place for everybody, regardless of your sexual orientation, faith or no faith, skin color or anything else. I know I sound like a "Soap Boxer", but I'm all for being a person that someone who needs help can come to. I believe this class will give me the resources needed in order to help someone out. I believe that what Texas State is doing with this training is a great thing and shows that people do care about others. I registered for the Allies Training Course. I will attend the training on Saturday the 26th of February from 10am to 2:30pm. Not sure what all to expect from this training, but if I did, then it would just be boring right?
Never be bullied into silence. Never allow yourself to be made a victim. Accept no one's definition of your life; define yourself. ~Harvey Fierstein
I find it silly that people creates a "sexual orientation"training. I am fine with people being the way they want to be but I don't believe others have to go to a training to make them feel good about we they are. I believe that if you believe yourself to be different embrace it no matter what other people think. Why be sensitive about the acceptance from others.
