Hold hands with someone of the same sex in public. Challenge heterosexist jokes and epithets. Initiate serious discussion or coordinate workshops on the topic of heterosexism. Handout sheets can include community resource lists, fact sheets, articles, bibliographies, and so forth. A large ball of yarn or string.
Procedure Ask participants to form a large circle.
I have a ball of yarn for string. I will hold one end of the yarn and toss the rest to one other person in the circle letting out my word simultaneously. That person will then hold a part of the yam with one hand, say their word, and toss the rest of the yarn to another person. We will end when everyone has a chance to toss the yam, and complete our 'web of life. For your benefit and the benefit of workshop participants, take a few minutes at the conclusion of the workshop for participants to fill out a one page workshop evaluation form.
