#CSAM18 Day 20: How to use sexual identity development

Hi. You have some sort of sexual orientation that you identify with. You might struggle with naming it, or might not name it. You might not tell people, maybe let them assume something about you. Or maybe it’s not safe for you to identify publicly. You’re still valid.

Our students might be in any of those situations above. They’re still valid.

How we explore, how we identify our sexual orientation, how we decide to define that to ourselves or others is like many other identity development processes. Since we are surrounded by people, not just students, we need to be empathetic to those processes. Sexual orientation is an invisible identity. Be kind.
