Abstract Development has generally treated sexuality as a problem - considering it only in relation to population control, family planning, disease and violence. However, sexuality has far broader impacts on people 's well-being and ill-being (Jolly S, Sexuality and development 2006). I am going to do an interview on a LGBT community member and disuses how sexuality effects their development. During the interview I will be asking three main questions to the member of the LGBT community. First question is going to be the LGBT member’s self-identify, and then I will ask about the society’s perception of their community and last will be asking the impact of same-sex marriage has had on the LGBT community. Those three main areas will complete my interview with the LGBT member.
Sexuality and Development The LGBT member self-identity is a women named Amanda White who I interviewed for this paper. Amanda is thirty three years old and has been a lesbian her whole life. Amanda says she can remember even far back as grade school when she remembers she was fascinated in a special way by a particular girl in her class. Amanda says her thoughts were not particularity sexual she was only eleven years old at the time. Amanda can say that she also remembers having thoughts about this girl and weather not if she thought she was cute. Amanda says she remembers when she would look at that girl that she did fell some kid of pleasure by doing so. Amanda said her self-identity was recognized at an early age of knowing she was a lesbian but did not know how to describe or even tell others about herself identity. It was the eighth grade when Amanda realized that she was not emotional and never had any sexual thoughts about any boy’s only girls. She had strong feelings for girls
