Speech on HOMOSEXUALITY!!! - Empty Closets - A safe online community for gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgendered people coming out

Jerr · 27th Feb 2008, 06:38 PM

I need help!!!

I have to give a 7 minute speech on homosexuality tomorrow.

I haven't done anything!

It is an informative speech. I have to have at least 2 (two) references. (can be online)

It is INFORMATIVE not persuasive and I have NO CLUE what 3 things to talk about.

It should go like

INTRO

BODY

Thing one

Thing two

Thing three

Ending.

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

PLEASE help me.

I have to let a friend do her homework but I will be checking it later tonight.

Any help on Ideas or websites I should check out would be GREATLY appreciated.

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.

Jerr · 27th Feb 2008, 07:11 PM

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?

Luroon · 27th Feb 2008, 07:12 PM

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.

beckyg · 27th Feb 2008, 07:44 PM

How about something on the research?

Jerr · 27th Feb 2008, 08:19 PM

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!

crimsonarcher · 27th Feb 2008, 09:35 PM

how about specific incidents of GLBTQ hate crimes?
for example Matthew Shepard?

Jerr · 27th Feb 2008, 10:02 PM

I am going to mention that incident.

I have the homophobia and the myths.

I just need a third topic.

crimsonarcher · 27th Feb 2008, 10:06 PM

how about the results/effects GLBTQ harassment has on today's society?

crimsonarcher · 27th Feb 2008, 10:08 PM

also, there's the actual coming out process.

Jerr · 27th Feb 2008, 10:14 PM

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.

Jonnnnn16 · 27th Feb 2008, 10:15 PM

sounds good!

Jerr · 27th Feb 2008, 10:21 PM

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.

27th Feb 2008, 10:47 PM

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

But now that you have your three thesis, good luck with your essay and hopefully change those homophobes views on gays!

CelebrityHead · 28th Feb 2008, 04:09 AM

Good luck!

**Martin** · 28th Feb 2008, 04:30 AM

Hope it goes well.

I absolutely love speeches! It was my favorite part of English. For my presentation i had to roleplay as an Inspector and i ended up having an argument with a classmate. Twas well good because it got us both good grades.

Awww, i miss giving speeches.

28th Feb 2008, 09:01 AM

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.

Paul_UK · 28th Feb 2008, 10:21 AM

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.
