Sexual Orientation can be defined as the persistent pattern of romantic or sexual attraction to another. The opposing person who you are attracted to can either be of the opposite sex, the same sex, or to both sexes. Although these are the three main categories, there are sometimes minor categories that can be used to define sexual orientation as well. This could be where they may consist of being attracted to different gender identities, maybe innate objects, or may not even be attracted to anything at all. Whatever it may be, sexual orientation is not a choice and cannot be changed manually.

When I came out in university, I decided to get involved in our LGBTQ2+ communities on campus because while our community has made many strides of success, some workplaces still have reservations about hiring diverse workforces. I joined Queer Engineer, an engineering LGBTQ2+ organization at McGill to promote inclusion in one of the more conservative faculties on campus. After serving as VP Finance for a year, I became President in October 2015. My role allowed me to organize a speaker panel to share professional's experiences with students, the first of it's kind in engineering. It exposed many students to the professional's experiences and certain reservations within our workplace communities, but also the openness of others. It was not only

Ten percent of the human population is homosexual. In Greek it is pronounced ὁμός, meaning "same", and sex derives from the term sexus in Latin. In Ancient Greece, sexuality was not questioned, and it was something that was rejoiced. Today, people all over the world question the sexual identity of homosexual people, because it goes against their religion, social standards, morals, and intellect. As humans, we must comprehend the fact that being gay is nothing more than love between two humans. As humans, we must come to the realization that we are all equal, and that you are born gay; furthermore, you don’t have a choice.

In my opinion, I don’t think a new legislation is needed to determine the place of the LGBTQ+ community. Who am I to tell a person where they belong in society because of their sexuality or gender identity? That’s like telling people where they’re allowed to sit on a bus because of their skin color. For so long, our society seems to have a problem with embracing each others differences. We need to open up our eyes and see each other as equals rather than seeing the differences in who we are as an individual. Every single person on this planet is unique. Each of us come in many different sizes, shapes, colors and even identities (gender identity and sexual orientation). The thing is, not everyone will have the same appearance or interests as

The world does not work like a digital clock where a discrete set of numbers is presented and one must accept what is shown. The world is more similar to an analog clock, where all possibilities are present and one can only assume one is correct based on approximation but is never entirely sure of said approximation. For someone who lives in such a world, I have had to learn to embrace the contradictions both society and myself impose upon my different identities as well as my position in respect to them. I am an Hispanic immigrant, born and raised in El Salvador who moved to the United States way too late in his life to consider it his home but early enough to embrace the good aspects of its culture. I am also a gay cis-gendered male who is beginning to explore his role as a member of the gay community. Lastly, both my embodiment and my attitudes are not that of a “masculine guy” (I am not particularly muscular, my jawline is rather soft and I am one of the unlucky few who is never able to grow decent facial hair). All of those elements of my identity affect me as they all shape my life and experience in different ways. It is the adaptability needed to be an immigrant, the survival instinct and mentality that come from being gay, and the defiance of traditional narratives of masculinity through my refusal to change my personality and embodiment to conform to it that have shaped me into the individual I am today. Those aspects of my identities have shaped the way I move
