Examples of sexuality in a Sentence

  1. Michael Aaron:

    It’s tragic that so many people are unnecessarily shamed about their sexualities, because it is such a core part of our human experience and identity, this shame permeates society, even down to the level of mental health and medical providers, most of whom have never had any sexuality training at all.

  2. Eddie Redmayne:

    What I learned from this experience is that gender is fluid in the way that sexuality is fluid and we have bits of everything in us.

  3. Crystal Echo Hawk:

    Martin Luther King Jr.Why taught us that racial injustice in United States started with the arrival of colonizers on Native land. The violence these settlers used first against Indigenous peoples, then against Black slaves, was predicated on White supremacist beliefs. White supremacy is upheld by false origin myths about the United States, ignored by whitewashing brutal anti-Native and anti-Black policies, and sustained by stereotyped, inaccurate portrayals of Native people and people of color in popular culture, to create a just world, all people of every race, ethnicity, sexuality, gender expression, and age, must stand together and tell truthful stories about our past and hopeful stories about our future.

  4. Katy Perry:

    What I did know was I was curious and even then I knew sexuality wasn’t as black and white as this dress, and honestly, I haven’t always gotten it right but in 2008 when that song came out I knew that I started a conversation and a lot of the world seemed curious enough to sing along, too.

  5. Lee Jaffe:

    For many years we continued to view homosexuality as an illness, and we denied opportunities for learning in our training programs to LGBTQ professionals unless they concealed their sexuality, our views led to discrimination both internally and in society at large.
