Religious Education in Asian-American Communities”

I read the article “Teaching Justice and Living Peace: Body, Sexuality, and
Religious Education in Asian-American Communities.” I resonate with this
article in regards to people feeling conservative with this topic and slightly
scared of change. However, it is an issue that needs to be talked about. I feel
like the topic of sexuality has been coming up in many places lately, such as
readings, television, and even in the Davis community. I am a part of a Filipino-American
organization on campus and we have been deliberating on the use of “Pilipinx”
as opposed to “Pilipino”. The reason behind the “x” is that it can be used as a
variable letter for those who do not identify as either male or female. Its
purpose is to promote gender inclusiveness within our organization so that we can
welcome members of all backgrounds. Coming from San Francisco, the topic of
sexuality was never an abnormal thing for me because of how liberal and diverse
the city is, but coming to college I see where everyone is coming from and the
different backgrounds we have. I think sexuality is a good topic to be talked
about just because it has been popping up all over the news and other media
recently.
What happens if we just ignore the topic of sexuality?
