In
this article, it was very interesting to hear different perspectives on the topic
of sexuality within the Asian American community. However, it is unfortunate
that there are numerous Asian Americans who conceal their homosexuality because
their parents consider homosexuality as a failure to live up to the norm of
society. Since our parents came from an older generation, they grew up
surrounded by traditional customs, however it has progressed into a custom that
they think their children should also follow. As a female individual, it was
difficult to read how women were presumed to be less superior to men in the
past. I am glad to have been raised in a family where women are treated with
equal respects to men. In order to help individuals learn about topics
regarding sexuality, it should be taught from different perspectives because
religious groups tend to teach a one-sided perspective on these subjects.
Individuals should learn to accept others for who they are instead of thinking
it violates or loses cultural identity.
Question: What are some
of the major benefits that can arise from Asian parents talking about sexuality
to their children?
