Sexual orientation.

Last class, we discussed if children literature should contain sexual orientation or not.
I want to share information which is on issue in my country.
In my country, a person who is gay, lesbian, or transgender is treated really badly. In America, people usually laugh at them (gay, lesbian, or transgender), but in Korea people think they are crazy. For example, some Hollywood stars coming out that they are lesbian or gay, and they still work as actor or actress. In Korea, a famous actor coming out could not work for 5 years because no one wants to see him on the TV. Koreans are not familiar with other types of sexual orientation because we never learned about this. (Usually the media did not mention this issue, too)
Last month one model committed suicide. He was coming out that he is gay, and many people shunned him. Many uneducated people (usually elementary school to high school students) wrote messages in his blog. (“You are crazy”, “you are disgusting creature”, “Go to hell”…etc.)
If adults teach children about sexual orientation, tragedies like this could be avoided.
