PERSONAL CONCLUSION Well, firstable, I respect all people and if they have
different beliefs is for their owndecisión. By the other hand, according with my
personal formation, the sexual orientation is not a taboo for me, because when we
born we recieved a gift: our sexuality womanor man. After that we had the decisión
of accept or no our gift, in others words, youlive all your life as a woman or as a
man or you decide to change it.I think is not a easy decisión, because covers a lot
of sheds and relations, not onlywith their families, but with all the society. And
unfortunately there are a lot of people who think than be a gay or have a gay
family is a crime or a sin. And from this situation it comes off a series of
discriminations and offenses towardthese people.I admire, respect and live with
these people i, don not think that its situation isdiferent.I only ask mutual respect
and a happy live for all my similar.

CONCLUSION

The theme of gay families I think is a controversial topic full of “tabu” is not yet
assimilated in Mexican society.
I respect the people who are gay but I also ask them to respect them in the sense
that they should refrain from doing any grotesque action in front of others;
Especially in front of the children to avoid confusion in them.
