Workshop Description

Whether we are aware of it or not, we are raised in a society that assumes heterosexuality is the standard, and this is reflected in the media that we make. In this class, participants will broaden their perspectives on sexuality and gender through:  

• Understanding the gender binary and its implications for the standardization of sexuality

• Examining the relationship between heterosexuality and gender norms and roles

• Breaking down heterocentrism

• Exploring the standardized heterosexual script and its impact on sex

• Discussing how representation in media and popular culture leads to standardization and how this wounds us all, even heterosexual people

During this class, participants will also learn about how to talk about consent and sexual touch in an affirming way with LGBTQIA+ folks and avoid projecting heterosexuality onto queer sex.

This class is highly recommended for intimacy coordinators and filmmakers who want to support the telling of queer stories in a manner that is accurate and authentic.
