The word sexuality refers to the people to whom you are romantically attracted. You are familiar with the terms gay, straight, homosexual, heterosexual, and bisexual. In college you will likely meet students, staff members, and instructors whose sexual orientations may differ from yours. While some people are lucky enough to come from welcoming environments, for many students, college is the first time they have been able to openly express their sexual identity. Sexual orientation can be difficult to talk about, and it is important that you respect all individuals with whom you come in contact. Check to see if your campus has a center for the lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgendered (LGBT) community. Consider going to hear some speakers, and expand your worldview.
