Document Summary
Gay should be married to make it official. Using the readings (ch 7 +ch 19) identify an example that challenges binary thinking. Ch 7, guy went to school and found out his gender toys are for different gender , lining up for the bathroom. "am i always going to be a boy" Same sex marriage the system that forces all people into one of two strictly defined gender categories, man and woman--will no longer exist. Regardless of how they identify in terms of sex or gender, regardless of how they express themselves, all people will be treated equally as human beings. Diversity of gender will be respected instead of being ignored or forced to conform to rigid binaries. However, we have a long way to go before that can become a reality. This change cannot happen until society is changed dramatically.
