• What memory do you have of an incident when you experienced bias, prejudice, and/or oppression, or witnessed someone else as the target of bias, prejudice, and/or oppression? Keep in mind that one can encounter such incidents in real contexts, including online environments, as well as in fictional ones, such as movies, books, television shows, and the like.

My close family friends have been targets of discrimination because of their sexual orientation

• In what way(s) did the specific bias, prejudice and/or oppression in that incident diminish equity?

I feel that everyone has a right to love and partake in activities they choose, saying that their orientation is wrong or disgusting is simply not our business or place to assume they should feel differently

• What feelings did this incident bring up for you?

it makes me angry that people can not be themselves

• What and/or who would have to change in order to turn this incident into an opportunity for greater equity?

society is slowly changing and becoming more accepting, but there will always be people who have a different opinion on how things should be
