For the assignment on difference, I will be analyzing my friend, Ben (not his real name, or any variation of it). Ben and I have been friends for nearly six years. He is a 25 year old intern architect and retail sales associate living in Boston. Just about a year ago, while out celebrating a friend’s birthday at a local bar, Ben had a couple drinks and told me he was gay. He has been with his partner the majority of the time we have been friends, but we were finally introduced early this year. While I know Ben pretty well, this will be an excellent way to learn more about him.
Based on a UCLA Williams Institute study, there are more than 8 million adults in the US who are lesbian, gay, or bisexual, making up about 3.5% of the adult population.
OK. May want to include the circumstance under which Ben told you he is gay.
