For this assignment, you will be asked to write a 3-full page paper, in the form of a Diary Entry, from the perspective of someone of a Sexual Orientation different from your own (If you’re having issues picking a different sexuality from your own, remember, asexuality or polyamory are good places to start). Remember this is a “Diary Entry,” so please provide personal feelings and thoughts, in the viewpoint of the sexual orientation you are assuming. If you feel “crude” or “profane” language is necessary to get your point across, please feel free to add them to your assignment, as I would like these Diary Entries to be as “accurate” as possible.
