Discussion: Japanese School Explains Sexuality to Students (Adorable)

VyktorJonas

Quote:

This poster entitled “Who Will You Come to Like?” is used in at least one high school in Japan’s Saitama Prefecture to teach students about lesbian, gay, bisexual and asexual identities.

Considering there’s a rise in bullying toward LGBT students in Japan (with 70% of LGBT students saying they’ve experience some form of bullying and 30% reporting they’ve contemplated suicide), it’s cool to see something like this done in that adorable Japanese style. Among the straight-forward and sympathetic explanations offered in the poster:

I could if it was a bigger picture. I can't read such small print

. All I can read is...

Heterosexual, Homosexual, Bisexual

edit: oh and Asexual/Nonsexual. Japan has it all

The gay boy serving in that green/white collar shirt though

This is cool - especially with what I have read about Japan's rising rate of homophobia.

It basically goes over gay, lesbian, bisexual, and asexual identities and how they're all normal and natural sexual attractions and is NOT something you choose or pressured to become. It also talks about realizing what you're sexually attracted to during puberty and you like what you like, your sexual orientation cant be changed by "intervention" or anything that is trying to change you. And how you should take time to understand yourself and your orientation.

It's pretty much meant to educate students on it being a natural thing rather than an illness or sin.

However if you wanna know what it actually says..

Quote:

When young people go through puberty, they start to experience sexual attraction. Their sexual orientation is dependent on who they like. A lot are heterosexual, but some are homosexual and bisexual and it's not a small group. Sexual orientation is something you're born with and it cannot be changed, so there is no need to change your preferences.
However, adolescence is a time when one discovers their sexual orientation. When it comes to understanding one's sexual orientation, one should take as much time as is needed.
