The basis of this article is that their needs to be more diversity when it comes to courses such as race and gender classes and schools need to implement courses on support for same sex marriages. Race and gender course students experienced a shift to less prejudice against lesbians and gay men, but a comparison group is needed to determine if this result is unique to students ex- posed to LGBT content. Further examination of students’ heterosexual privilege awareness, prejudice against lesbians and gay men, and support for same-sex marriage rights is needed to clarify the roles of diversity courses in student learning.

The article has a lot of quantitative and qualitative data when it comes to Heterosexual Privilege Awareness, Prejudice, and Support of Gay Marriage Among Diversity Course Students. She seems very credible and she cites many experts in the queer field. She does omit the impact that parents would have if these classes were to be implemented in schools across America. This article is very relevant since gay marriage is becoming more widely accepted in society today. The article flowed and was very easy to understand and read. The bias of implementing these classes into today’s education was very prominent.

I enjoyed reading the perspective of this article. I found it very useful to apply to this project and just daily life in general. It opened my eyes to the fact that we as college students should have the option to take these classes and become more educated on gay marriage. Possibly then it could open close-minded people’s idea on gay marriage and help us all end the prejudice against them. I agree with Case’s conclusion that we should have these certain classes because I think it will create a better school environment.

I would help try and get these classes into our education. Possibly taking polls for those who support it and sending it into schools that accept these kinds of programs. First starting out small maybe in cities but then trying to reach people on a national level.
