1. Learning about sex in the United States: Discuss how you learned about sex. Was it from your parents, school, peers, books, the Internet, or another source? What did you learn from these sources? Were you taught to fear sex and sexual desire? What about same-sex sexuality? Masturbation? How do you feel about the sex education you received? How would you describe the socially constructed nature of sexuality? (Make sure to use examples from the readings and or video clips in your responses)

2. Exploring the social maintenance of heterosexuality in the news: Look through YouTube, videos, blogs, websites, etc., and find an example of heterosexuality in the news that makes it seem like heterosexuality is in danger of losing its dominant status and needs to be strongly re-assured. Utilize Schilt and Westbrook's arguments in your response or Rupp and Taylor. Examples to look for are anti-same-sex marriage advertisements, websites of "ex-gay" reparative therapy organizations, and news reports of homophobic violence. Questions to ponder: How do you see homophobia playing out? What about sexism? What sort of assumptions are being made about men and women?

3. Sexual Hierarchies in film and television: How are queer sexualities and the dominance of heterosexuality represented in various film and television sources? Choose a movie or TV show that features both heterosexuality and same-sex sexuality and analyze how the media source represents sexual hierarchies. How is heterosexuality being represented? How are queer characters portrayed? Is there any tension between heterosexuality and same-sex sexuality? What kind[s]? Do characters fight back and express sexual freedom? If so, how? Films such as Milk, Fire, But I'm a Cheerleader! La Mission and Brokeback Mountain would work well here; television shows could include Six Feet Under, Queer as Folk, Pretty Little Liars, and Glee.
