Disseminating Knowledge
“Understanding that saying things like, ‘That's
gay,’ is wrong and hurtful. Even though you may
not think it's actually ‘gay,’ using that word in
reference to something ‘stupid’ or ‘silly’ is not
good. Also, I liked the videos in the module. It
was a good supplement to the text you
provided!”
Changing Attitudes
“That knowledge can change attitude. This
module helped me not only to understand the
different definitions and meaning of many words
and terms, but most of all, the attitude of people
towards this issue and to identify what attitude I
have towards this issue.”

“Overall, I thought it [the instructional module]
was good. The best parts for me were the ones
that clarified the vocabulary and the general
frame in which the discussion of LGBT ought to
be carried out.”
