One’s sexuality relates to the people to whom you are romantically attracted. You have probably heard the words gay, straight, homosexual, heterosexual, and bisexual before, but sexuality includes many other categories as well. In college you will likely meet students, staff members, and professors who have sexualities other than your own. Although some people are lucky enough to come from welcoming and affirming environments, for many students college is the first time that they have been able to openly express their sexual identity. The subject of sexual orientation can be difficult to talk about, and it is important that you respect all individuals. Most colleges and universities have campus codes or standards of behavior to help ensure safety and a free exchange of ideas regardless of race, ethnicity, gender, or sexual orientation. Check to see if your campus has a gender and sexuality center or a center for the gay, lesbian, bisexual, or transgendered (GLBT or LGBT) community. Go see some speakers and expand your worldview.
