Sexuality (Socratic Seminar)

Heyyy girllss,

I am thinking about a few of the ideas that were brought up in class over this past week and I hope that I can incite a good discussion for us =) Our other discussion was good, but we can do better with me as the leader (no offense Marisa). Look at these questions and get started:  

1. What show did you pick for this blogpost and why? What kind of relationships are portrayed in your episode?
2. The Twilight Zone episode about Janet was interesting and thought-provoking. Why did it have to do with our topic of homosexuality (beauty is in the eye of the beholder)?
3. The ideas in the article we read called Heterosexual Privilege deals with the idea that heterosexuals take their sexuality for granted? Is that a fair or correct statement?
4. In both the Six Feet Under episode and the Coming Out episode the main characters come out of the closet, how were they similar and how were they different?
5. In the article Not Just Another Prom Night the two girls are extremely excited and happy with their sexuality how is this similar or different to David in Six Feet Under?
6. Margaret Cho makes fun of her family and even sexuality a little bit, what did you think of her comments about her father and his friend? Do you think it would have been more acceptable had it been two girls?
