Sex, gender and sexuality are a part of our life, and relationships. Society and media play a huge role in defining what is right, what is wrong, what is accepted and what is taboo. Even today with the advent of more and more gays and lesbians in the media, more emphasis on sexual exploration and freedom without exploitation, and trans-gender issues coming to the forefront we are still inundated with negative messages, and outdated roles not just in the media but from our friends, our families, our neighbors, and our psyches and these are not always easy to maneuver, or talk about it openly.
