Finally, questions 8 and 9 reflect somewhat on the genetics or scientific aspect of homosexuality in asking about heredity and consideration of homosexuality being a mental disorder. Furthermore, the responses to these questions were then analyzed to determine if the hypothesis could be supported or rejected by this study. .
Analysis of Results.
In observation of the basic demographic information, 61.11% were female and correspondingly, 38.89% were male. The majority of the respondents, 50%, were in the age range of 31-39, while 22.22% were age 26-30 and another 22.22% age 40 plus. Only 5.56% were of the age range 18-21. In review, the class is primarily consisted of females, with the average person-both male and female being at least 31 years of age and older, with the majority residing in a suburban community. According to Dr. Milt Ford, a Liberal Studies Professor at Grand Valley State University, "In the U.S., the history of homosexual culture and politics is even shorter than it is in Europe. .
The largest and best-known communities are in New York, Los Angeles, and San Francisco, and there are reasons for that. First, because of economic dislocations and farm crises in the first half of the 20th century, people migrated to large cities to find work. Once there, they were often forced to live outside traditional family structures, many in same sex settings such as military and industrial barracks, for prolonged periods. Those with homosexual inclinations found one another at the same time that they found the freedom to express themselves without ever-present familial and religious disapproval." Though my classmates' response to their sexual preference is heterosexual, research shows that homosexuality is more prevalent and accepted in the communities in which they live. See figures 1-3.
In observation of the results of the questions regarding the students' sexual preference, religion and denomination-the results yielded that 100% of the students were heterosexuals in regards to their sexual preference.
