I was glad to see people getting into the issues. Junior Marilyn Grillo was pleased with the events of the workshop and dialogues that took place within it. We have so much more dialogue that needs to happen. The student body made me see this is a huge dynamic that needs to be explored. One of the biggest issues was that just because you share the same sex origin, this does not mean that everyone has the same sex identity.
Every sexual identity is individual.
Grillo also said that facilitators of the workshops were fantastic. The program honored people's differences and encouraged students to speak freely from their own perspectives. The dialogue created an intense emotional response from women of all sexual orientations. Although the discussions were meant to focus on Mills students and their issues around sexuality, several people said they thought that homophobia among Mills students was the main focus of the night rather than the issues of understanding, and that focus created a backlash of angry sentiments. It would have been better if it didn't happen.
