Interviewing a person can make you connect with that person on a more personal level. A person will learn more about their family, education, and morals just by talking with them.

Her parents would not allow her or any of her siblings to bring home someone to date of the same sex. In her eyes God created man and woman to be together, not man and man or woman and woman. This writer’s views are different on sexual orientation because people within the author’s family are homosexual. The book Diversity, Oppression, and Changes says “Nonetheless, there are signs of growing acceptance and increased understanding of same sex attraction and bisexuality in many societies, including the United States” (Kulis, Marsiglia p. 225).
