    Thing three

    Ending.


    I can do the ending and the intro but I don't know what the three things I should say are.

    Good ideas except for Gay Marriage. That subject would end up being a persuasive argumentative speech and she would like destroy my grade sense this is just informative.

    Any idea on what little points to do on Coming out?

    I could probably mention something like that... What broad subject would it be under? I mean how would I really bring that up...





    I'm trying to make this informative and I'll have feeling behind it because of well hah me. BUT I don't want them to ignore me if I'm SOLID pro homogay! I'm going to try to come off as completely informative with pretty much facts. If they want to hate homogays by the end of my speech they are within their right to do so, I just hope they have something other then ignorance as a reason.

    Myths!!!


    That could be a sub topic!


    But what myths and what not would you like to learn about if you were to listen to a short speech on homosexuality?




    So Myths and Homophobia are two things I want to REALLY be subjects (if I don't find better.)

    What should be a third?

    A good resource to cite could be the HRC website. The PFLAG folks probably have some good info too. As for topics, anything could do really.

    I'm throwing a bit of the research into the MYTH section.

    It's how I'm mentioning the Nature vs Nurture on homosexuality.


    GAH one more!

    I am going to mention that incident.

    I have the homophobia and the myths.


    I just need a third topic.

    I was thinking about coming out...


    Start with


    Coming out...

    then I could end that section with a sentence that leads to homophobia because it causes a lot of kinks in the coming out process...

    then go from homophobia into MYTHS which is sadly a reason quite a few are disgruntled at the homogays.

    Now... to put it in uber speech form!


    Too bad I have to actually write up an outline and bibliography for this or I'd just read up on it tonight and deliver an amazing speech tomorrow.

    Well, I'd call in DEAD if I were you. Luckily, you're not me :slight_smile:

    I wouldn't worry all too much. I had to give a half hour speech about being a producer, something I've only done for 11 weeks, and it was crazy easy. If you know a crapload about a subject you can give a nice speech pretty easily.

    I hope it goes well Jerr - please let us know.

    I like the three sections you have decided on and how they lead into each other. I think that structure will work well.
