1) Treatment Based on Sexual Orientation

Some people are treated differently based on their sexual orientation.
People who are heterosexual tend to receive certain privileges than people
who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, or queer, do not. This is called heterosexual
privilege. Here is a list of some privileges that heterosexual people may
have that lesbian, gay, bisexual, and queer people do not:
• You are able to date who you want to without fear of harassment.
• You are able to go to school functions and dances with your partner
(example: prom).
• You can show affection (hold hands, kiss, hug) your partner in public
without fear
• You have role models who have the same sexual orientation as you do.
• You do not have to worry about introducing your partner to your friends
or family community just because of their gender.
• You do not have to come out" and declare your sexual orientation.
