ABSTRACT
The main purpose of this study is to identify the cause and effect of Genderdualism among the students of Koronadal National Comprehensive High School
...
The study explores the
behavior of a certain bisexual vs
...
The study is supported by interviews and questionnaires
...

For 50 samples provided, about 6% proves that they are bisexual
...
The analysis showed complex results with regards to the answers
given by the respondents, and by that, we find that most Bisexual students doesn’t
know what triggered them to be “Bi”
...

Contrary to expectation, emergent themes and meanings are formed

INTRODUCTION
The term Bisexual or Bisexuality refers to the romantic attraction, sexual
attraction or sexual behavior towards both males and females
...
A bisexual identity does not necessarily equate to equal sexual attraction to
both sexes; commonly, people who have a distinct but not exclusive sexual preference
for one sex over the other also identify themselves as bisexual
...
Many individuals who are bisexual
encounters discrimination
...
On the off chance that you tell individuals you are gay or lesbian, it is distinctive,
yet in the event that you say you are a bisexual, the reaction has a tendency to be,
'decide and pick either'
...
And it’s been a great issue, especially for
the Millennial
...
Without this, an individual definitely cannot contribute in building the environment
...
The
possibility to feel sexually pulled into and to take part in a sexual association with
individuals of a same sex, triggers both positive and negative effects that an individual
can’t handle
...
Through this, the researchers hope for a good result, study their social behaviour,
and gather ideas from people as indicated by their sexual inclinations, resulting in, a
pledge to ‘Come Out’ and declare on which side of the society they stand
...
STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
The purpose of the study is for us to have a deeper understanding about the
nature of being a bisexual
...
This study would also serve
as an eye-opener not only to those people who aren’t in favor of this case but also to
the society because it could uplift the way how people react or criticize about being a
bisexual
...
) How can Bisexualism affect the Academic Performance of a student?
2
...
) What is the effect of being Bisexual in communicating others?
4
...
) Is bisexualism widely accepted by Batang KN students, teachers, administrators,
faculty and staff?

III
...
Thus this study is significant to:
Students: It is significant to the students because they are the one who has a bigger
role in understanding their sexuality, and for them to know if being a bisexual is a good
or bad thing
...

School: It is significant to the school for the reason that they can know how to give
importance to bisexuals and how to manage students that are involved in bisexualism
...
It is important to show our society why they became bisexuals and
not to bully them for their decision and to show that they should be respected too
...
SCOPE AND DELIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY
The research regarding Bisexualism will be conducted for 2(two) weeks
...
The gathering of
information should be in a precise manner to provide a reliable source of information
...
The gathering and the whole process may
take 2(two) weeks to be done and the data collected aims to show and provide the
significance of the said study
...

According to the published article in the New York Times Magazine, follows the
efforts of the American Institute of Bisexuality, “There are almost as many men
decided to identify as bisexual, queer, or "unlabeled" after identifying as gay
earlier in life as there are men who first identify as bi, then as gay”
...
popsci
...

Regarding to this related research, this supports one of the factor why and how
people know themselves and plays their role in the society particularly kids on a
developing stage (Brooks et al
...
The term “gay”
denotes a whole new interpretation than the term “bisexual”, because it is widely
acknowledged by the society, and supported by different kinds of media

Regarding to the nature of LGBT populations, particularly bisexuals, multiple
frameworks can be used to examine how multiple identities and structural arrangements
intersect to influence health care access, health status, and health outcomes (Cohler
and Hammack, 2007; Elder, 1998)
...



Linked lives — Lives are interdependent; social ties, including immediate family
and other relationships, influence individuals' perspective on life
...




Personal decisions — Individuals make choices influenced by the social
contexts in which they live (e
...
, family, peers, neighborhood, work setting)
...


From the perspective of LGBT populations, these four dimensions have particular
salience because together they provide a framework for considering a range of issues
that shape these individuals' experiences and their health disparities
...


xii

These four frameworks attributes the higher prevalence of anxiety, depression,
and substance use found among LGBT as compared with heterosexual populations to
the additive stress resulting from nonconformity with prevailing sexual orientation and
gender norms
...
These four contexts is very
useful because it acknowledges simultaneous dimensions of inequality and focuses on
understanding how they are interrelated and how they shape and influence one another
...

2009; Gamson and Moon, 2004)
According to an article entitled “Bisexuality in Psychoanalytic Theory:
Interpreting the Resistance”, “Bisexual and bisexuality may strike contemporary
readers as anything but commonsensical
...
Only tenuously related to the currently
popular understandings of bisexuality as a type of sexual orientation or identity
associated with the attraction to both (or multiple) genders – in short, the B in “LGBT” –
bisexuality as a psychoanalytic concept remains steeped in assumptions about human
sexuality that were dominant in Western Cultures in the early 20th century
...

...
At this state, the article really focuses on a
statement that bisexuality may be caused by a cultural shift
...
Some celebrities have come out as
bisexual, and there are few media representations of bisexuality in film and fiction
...
It is more acceptable to be out as bisexual
today than it was two to three decades ago
...
As been said, Could it be a safer environment for bi people
today? Even with all the given progress, Bisexual people are still facing serious
discrimination from the society even with the support of the LGBT population
...
Young individuals are coming out and
recognizing the need to claim bisexuality for themselves (Bisexual
...
This is really
promising, at least for the future
...
As more individuals acknowledge and accept
their bisexuality, they each contribute to creating a more accepting culture
...

LGBTQ PSYCHOLOGY
For many people it is not immediately obvious what lesbian, gay, bisexual,
transgender and queer (LGBTQ) psychology is
...
Sometimes it is suggested that this area of psychology
would be more accurately named the ‘psychology of sexuality’
...

One question we’re often asked is ‘why do we need a separate branch of
psychology for LGBTQ people?’ There are two main reasons for this: first, as we
discuss in more detail below, until relatively recently most psychologists (and
professionals in related disciplines such as psychiatry) supported the view that

xv

homosexuality was a mental illness
...
Second, and related to
the pathologization of homosexuality, most psychological research has focused on the
lives and experiences of heterosexual and non-trans people
...
For example, most research
on mothers is based on heterosexual mothers, and prejudice against LGBTQ people is
given scant attention in social psychological research on prejudice
...

It is important to note that there are no universally agreed definitions of the terms
‘lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans and queer’
...

More recently, the terms ‘LGB’, ‘LGBT’ and occasionally ‘LGBTQ’ or ‘LGBTQI’ have
been used
...
Should it just focus on same-sex
sexuality and the experiences of lesbian, gay and bisexual people? Or should it also
include the experiences of trans and intersex people, who, in societies that assume a
direct correspondence between gender identity and natal sex, are positioned outside of
social norms around sex/gender? Should queer perspectives be incorporated? Our
view is that this area of psychology should be inclusive (Clarke and Peel, 2007)
...
In addition, there
has been considerable debate about the usefulness of identity categories such as
‘bisexual’ and ‘lesbian’
...
We used the term ‘LGBTQ’ to signal
our inclusion of both of these perspectives in our discussion of the field
...
This means that our adoption of an inclusive approach will
often be limited by this emphasis on the experiences of particular groups of gay men
and lesbians in existing research
...
Another reason for using the term ‘LGBTQ psychology’
is to signal our concern for diversity and to emphasise that LGBTQ psychologists are
not in agreement about the remit of the field, the types of research questions we should
ask, or the methodologies we should use to answer these questions
...
As such, LGBTQ psychology is a microcosm of psychology and
it embraces a plurality of perspectives on whom or what we research and the theories

xvii

and methods we use in conducting research
...
It seeks to
challenge prejudice and discrimination against LGBTQ people and the privileging of
heterosexuality in psychology and in the broader society
...
It
provides a range of psychological perspectives on the lives and experiences of LGBTQ
people and on LGBTQ sexualities and genders
...
The phrase ‘LGBTQ psychologist’ means a psychologist involved in this type of
psychology
...
(1998: 532) noted: ‘No implications are intended as to
the characteristics of the psychologists themselves: a “lesbian and gay
psychologist” can be heterosexual, just as a “social psychologist” can be antisocial or a “sport psychologist” a couch potato
...

We now explore the historical development of LGBTQ psychology, starting with the
work of early sexologists who founded the scientific study of sexuality and ‘gender
ambiguity’
...
Although sexuality
and gender ambiguity have been written about for centuries (for example, we know of
numerous ancient texts on sexuality including the Indian text the Kama Sutra), it was
only in the nineteenth century that these issues were treated as formal subjects of
scientific and medical investigation
...



Magnus Hirschfeld and Karl-Heinrich Ulrichs

The first social movement to advance the rights of homosexual and trans people
was established in Germany in 1897
...
The Committee
sponsored research, published a journal, the Yearbook for Intermediate Sexual Types,
produced information for the public, including leaflets and a film, Different from the
Others (1919), and conducted one of the earliest sex surveys (which found that 2
...
Hirschfeld also headed the Institut für
Sexualwissenschaft (the Institute for Sexual Science), an early private research institute
in Berlin, that was founded in 1919 and destroyed by the Nazis in 1933
...

Ulrichs and Hirschfeld developed the theory of a third, intermediate, sex between
women and men (which included people who would now be called trans, intersex,
lesbian, gay and bisexual)
...
An Urning was a male-bodied person with a female psyche who
desired men and an Urningin was a female-bodied person with a male psyche who
desired women
...
This terminology reflects a theory popular among early sexologists, that of
universal human bisexuality, which held that each individual contained elements of both
sexes
...

Although Ulrichs refined his typology to acknowledge that not all male-bodied
people who desired men were feminine and that people varied in relation to who they
desired, their preferred sexual behaviour (passive, active or no preference), and their
gender (feminine, masculine, or in between), the gender inversion theory of
homosexuality was to be his lasting contribution to sexology
...
Hirschfeld also wrote about transsexualism (and transvestism);
describing it as a form of neurological intersex in his book, Die Transvestitien (1910)
...

Recent reappraisals of Hirschfeld’s contributions to sexology suggest that,
although his ideas were more or less ignored in the English speaking world for the
second half of the twentieth century, his conceptualisation of sexuality and gender was
perhaps the most radical to emerge from early sexology (Brennan and Hegarty, 2007;
Bullough, 2003)
...
His major work, Psychopathia Sexualis (first published in
Germany in 1886; it was translated into English and published in the US in 1939),
challenged the view that ‘sexual perversion’ was a sin or a crime, and instead presented
it as a disease
...
The book was intended as a forensic reference for doctors and judges
and some portions were written in Latin to discourage lay readers
...
A number of
people wrote to Krafft-Ebing after reading the book to share with him their histories of
sexual and gender ‘deviance’
...
Krafft-Ebing’s views on sexual perversions such
as homosexuality were complex and changed throughout his lifetime
...
However, for the most part, his work
reflected rather than challenged the prevailing orthodoxy that homosexuality was
pathological, and did much to link non-reproductive sexuality with disease
...

Henry Havelock Ellis (1859-1939), a British doctor whose wife, Edith, was openly
lesbian, is a central figure in the modern study of sexuality
...
Ellis, along with his contemporary Sigmund
Freud (see below), opened up sexuality to serious research and challenged the moral
values that blocked public and scientific discussion of sexuality
...
This was a radical argument that
challenged the dominant view that homosexuality was the result of choice and therefore
sinful or criminal behaviour
...

Ellis’s work further contributed to the construction of homosexuality and trans as
distinct categories (the contemporary distinction between transsexualism and
xxii

transvestism was first promoted by an US-based doctor, Harry Benjamin [1885-1986]
who challenged the prevailing orthodoxy about the treatment of transsexualism in his
book The Transsexual Phenomenon [1966] and developed the contemporary
Standards of Care for the treatment of transsexualism and Gender Identity Disorder)
...
Ellis, along with Edward Carpenter
([1844-1929] an open homosexual and socialist reformer), founded the British Society
for the Scientific Study of Sex Psychology in 1914, a scholarly scientific organisation
that was also committed to social change
...



Sigmund Freud

Sigmund Freud (1856-1939) was an Austrian neurologist and psychiatrist and the
founding father of psychoanalysis
...
Freud published numerous books and papers
on sexuality including Three Essays on the Theory of Sexuality (1905)
...
For instance, Freud argued that humans are born
‘polymorphously perverse’, meaning that any number of objects (including people) could
be a source of sexual pleasure, and that we become heterosexual after negotiating
various stages of psychosexual development
...

Homosexuality and bisexuality are often viewed as forms of ‘arrested
psychosexual development’ in psychoanalytic theory and there has been a lot of debate
about what Freud really thought about homosexuality
...
However,
many of his followers used and developed his ideas in support of a pathologising model
of homosexuality, including advocates of conversion therapy
...
If these findings are taken into account, then, the
supposition that nature in a freakish mood created a ‘third sex’ falls to the ground’
clearly (1953: 171)
...
Freud’s original theories have been
extended and reworked by a wide-range of scholars including the feminist theorist Juliet
Mitchell (1974), the post-structuralist thinker Jacques Lacan (1968), and, more recently,
the queer theorist, Judith Butler (1997)
...




They developed many of the concepts and language that we use today
...




They established sexuality and gender identity as central to individuals and to
human existence
...




They viewed scientific research and social activism as compatible
endeavours
...
In the
words of the French post-structuralist theorist, Michel Foucault:
Homosexuality appeared as one of the forms of sexuality when it was transposed
from the practice of sodomy onto a kind of interior androgyny, a hermaphroditism of
the soul
...


xxv

In other words, early sexologists were influential in the development of the concept of
sexual identities: there was a shift from viewing sexuality in terms of behaviour
(practising sodomy or non-reproductive sexual acts) to viewing it as central to our sense
of self (being a ‘sodomite’)
...



Alfred Kinsey and Colleagues

As we can see, LGBTQ psychologists inherit a long European tradition of emancipatory
scholarship and social activism (Kitzinger and Coyle, 2002)
...

Kinsey, a biologist and an expert on the gall wasp, founded the Institute for
Research in Sex, Gender and Reproduction at Indiana University in 1947, now called
the Kinsey Institute for Research in Sex, Gender and Reproduction
...
Kinsey’s methods and findings have generated a huge amount of
controversy (Ericksen and Steffen, 1999)
...
Kinsey found that many people have had same-sex sexual experiences and
people’s sexual preferences could change over the course of their lifetime
...
Furthermore, 38 per cent of the men and 13 per cent of the women had
had orgasms during these experiences
...
Rather than using discrete categories, Kinsey and colleagues placed people
along a continuum of sexual behaviour
...
However, classifying people in terms of behaviour and sexual practices,
rather than discrete identity categories, allowed Kinsey to observe greater diversity and
flexibility in human sexuality than in much previous (and subsequent) research
...
The study resulted in two books – Homosexualities
(Bell and Weinberg, 1978) and Sexual Preference (Bell et al
...

Kinsey is widely regarded as the ‘father’ of modern sexology and his work is
often associated with the ‘sexual revolution’ in the US in the 1960s
...


xxvii

THE HISTORICAL EMERGENCE OF ‘GAY AFFIRMATIVE’ PSYCHOLOGY
The Pathologisation and De-pathologisation of Homosexuality
Kinsey demonstrated that homosexuality was far more widely practised than
previously assumed and for this reason could be regarded as ‘normal’ sexual behaviour
...
In 1952, the American Psychiatric
Association decided to include homosexuality in the second edition of its Diagnostic and
Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM)
...

Given that most research on homosexuality relied on samples drawn from
prisons, treatment centres for the mentally ill and therapists’ client lists it is not
surprising that these individuals were found to be less well-adjusted than the average
person (Bohan, 1996)
...
Psychotherapy was
one of the most common treatments (Bohan, 1996)
...
Other, more extreme, treatments
included the use of hormones such as oestrogens (to decrease ‘abnormal’ sex drive) or
androgens (to increase ‘normal’ sex drive), castration and clitoridectomy, and even
lobotomies
...
The publication of Hooker’s research
prompted other similar studies and gay activists used this research in their campaigns
for the removal of homosexuality from the DSM
...
However, homosexuality was replaced by a new
diagnosis ‘ego-dystonic homosexuality’, to be applied to people who fail to accept their
homosexuality, experience persistent distress and wish to become heterosexual
(unsurprisingly a

parallel

category of

‘ego-dystonic heterosexuality’ was not

incorporated into the DSM!)
...
Two years after the removal of homosexuality from the DSM, the American
Psychological Association (APA) adopted the official policy that ‘homosexuality, per se,
implies no impairment in judgement, stability, reliability, or general social or vocational
capabilities’
...

Proving the Normality of Homosexuals
At the time of the removal of homosexuality per se from the DSM, research on
gay and lesbian issues was concentrated in clinical psychology
...

By leaving lesbians and gay men (and BTQ people) out of the ‘everyday’
psychology of people and only including them as examples of sexual and gender
deviance, mainstream psychology provided a highly distorted image of the lives and
well-being of LGBTQ people
...
(Siegelman 1972) compared the adjustment of non-clinical
samples of lesbians and heterosexual women and found no differences between the
samples
...
(1971) found no important differences in the
personal adjustment and psychological well-being of matched samples of lesbians and
gay men and heterosexuals
...


xxx

Early researchers were strong advocates of positivist-empiricism and were critical of
what they viewed as the bad science underpinning the pathologising model
...

Early gay affirmative research also focused on measuring heterosexuals’
attitudes to homosexuality (MacDonald and Games, 1974) and understanding the
coming out process and the formation of homosexual identities (Cass, 1979)
...
The psychiatrist Richard Green (1978) examined the sexual identity
development of children raised by homosexual and transsexual parents
...
Green concluded that children being raised by
homosexual or transsexual parents ‘do not differ appreciably from children raised in
more conventional family settings’
...
Most psychological research
on trans has focused on the causes and treatment of trans and on the psychological
adjustment of trans people
...
These researchers are interested
in what we can learn about gender as a category by exploring the practices of trans
people and the ways in which they ‘do’ gender in everyday life
...

Homosexuality and trans were widely regarded as distinct entities by the early
1970s; however, research on trans was often incorporated under the umbrella of
research on homosexuality
...
More common were comparisons of the
psychological adjustment and gender roles of samples of lesbians and transwomen
(McCauley and Ehrhardt, 1978), and of gay men and transmen (Roback et al
...

Such comparisons often presented transsexuals as conservative in attitude and less
well adjusted than gay men and lesbians
...

A dichotomous heterosexual/homosexual model of sexuality constrained the
development of research on bisexuality
...
Although a dichotomous model of sexuality continues to dominate research
on sexuality and negative assumptions about bisexuality linger on, from the late 1970s
researchers began to challenge the dichotomous model
...
As Fox (1995) outlines, early
affirmative research on bisexuality sought to validate bisexuality as a sexual identity and
identify the factors involved in the development of positive bisexual identities, and, like
early research on homosexuality and lesbianism, sought to prove the normality of
bisexuals
...
In short, early gay affirmative research promoted a ‘just the same as’ message,
which, like the pathologising model before it, assumed that differences between people
were problematic, rather than just differences
...
One of those early European studies was June
Hopkins’ pioneering study of the lesbian personality, which is summarised in Box 1
...

Research in Britain only began to flourish in the 1980s, when two important books were
published, both of which signalled a departure from the liberal-humanistic ‘just the
same as’ message and the positivist-empiricist model that pervaded research in the US
(Clarke and Peel, 2007)
...
They were critical of the male bias in existing
research and were careful to distinguish differences in the experiences of gay men and
lesbians
...
The publication of this text marked the early
beginnings of a critical psychology approach to lesbian and gay issues
...
Like Hart and Richardson, Kitzinger was
critical of the male bias of gay affirmative research and chose to focus her research on
lesbians because of the neglect of lesbian experience within gay affirmative psychology
and because of the differences between lesbians and gay men
...
By the start of that decade,
lesbian and gay psychologists in the US were convinced that the time was right to seek
professional recognition of this area of psychology and to begin to challenge the
heteronormativity of psychology from the inside
...
Although
few psychologists nowadays would describe homosexuality as pathological or promote
the use of conversion therapy, psychological theories and research are riddled with
heterosexist assumptions
...
For instance, developmental theories that
assume that all children are raised in heterosexual households continue to be taught
widely in psychology without anyone querying the heterosexist assumptions on which
such theories are based
...
LGBTQ
psychologists have been very active in promoting non-heterosexist approaches to
psychological research and practice
...
, 1991)
...
Although, as Kitzinger and Coyle (2002) point out,
this area of psychology has always included work on bisexuality and trans, until
relatively recently most research has been based on the experiences and perspectives
of gay men and lesbians
...
Some of
the more recently formed professional bodies reflect this wider remit in their title (for
example, the Section on Sexual Orientation and Gender Issues in the Canadian
Psychological Association), and expanded titles have been called for in the more
established professional bodies (for example, the Lesbian & Gay Psychology Section of
the BPS has recently been renamed the Psychology of Sexualities Section)
...
As we have shown, the early decades of this area of psychology
were very much focused on challenging the pathologization of homosexuality and
establishing gay and lesbian concerns as legitimate foci of psychological research
...

Bisexual- is mainly used in the context of human attraction to denote romantic or
sexual feelings toward both men and women

Gay - is a term that primarily refers to a homosexual person or the trait of being
homosexual

The respondent admits that

...
The data gives enough information
to create a clear conclusion on what most of the students feel with regard to people who
are bisexual
...
They
have an idea and they are aware that bisexualism exists in today’s society
...

“I support LGBTQ community”
Some of the respondents participate in supporting the LGBTQ community but
there are also students who do not agree or do not support the LGBT community
...
Many are not against
bisexualism but on the other hand, there are also students who chose to be against it
...

“I have friends who are considered bisexual”
Many respondents admit that they have friends who are bisexual but there are
also students whose friends are not engaged with this
...
Based on the
results it indicates how they feel when hanging out with bisexual people
...

“I do find bisexual people wiser/smarter than a normally-gendered human”
There is a clear conclusion with regard to this statement
...
Based on the respondent’s answers we can conclude that the
respondents think that a normally-gendered human being and a duo-gendered
individual have the same capacity of thinking but in a unique and different way such that
Bisexuals have a more creative thinking compared to others
...
They are not enjoying
each other’s company that makes them even uncomfortable
...
The main reason why we
asked this kind of question is for us to discover whether they like this color or not for this
color is important in Bisexual Community especially Pink, Purple and Blue because
these are the colors that represents the Bisexual Pride Flag
...
This indicates their
unsureness if bisexual people are indeed responsible and trustworthy, but some
students consider bisexual people responsible since they know someone who is
responsible enough with their actions
...
This clearly shows that there are students in Koronadal National High
School who are engaged with this matter and are practicing bisexual way of living
...
But then again there
is a lack of knowledge to it
...
Thus,
Batang KN students have different stand with regard to this topic
...
We should approach them in a nice way that they won’t feel different
and ashamed
...
We want
to understand and to be understood
...
Accord others the same respect which you are demanding
for yourself for we can live harmoniously spreading nothing but peace and love to
everyone
...

Findings
1
...

2
...
The
respondents were 50 Batang KN students within 5 unit levels from the campus
and selected with no particular order
...
Evaluation is applied among the students especially bisexuals, who answered
the survey coherently
...

lvii

4
...

5
...
Most of
them just naturally noticed that they are attracted to members of their own sex at
an early age, as young as 6 or 7-8 years old
...
Students that is Bisexual are very accommodating and actively participating
...

Some of them are good by maintaining a long communication process, but some
are just rude, and remains undisturbed
...
Between a normal-gendered and a Bisexual student, there is nothing really
much to consider when it comes to excellence
...

8
...
With the help of the teachers, administrators, faculty and staffs,
bisexuals promotes peace and harmony within and outside the campus
...
Many individuals who are bisexual encounters discrimination
...

2
...
By this, we
can conclude that is it very beneficial not only for the school, but because of its
capacity to sum up the ideas that is applicable to a bigger society
...
Most of the students are not really aware when it talks about bisexualism
...
But despite of all the results, its good to know there perspective
about the topic, realistically
...
Being bisexual really triggers a lot of changes, but it resembles one’s mind to be
better academically
...
There is no particular cause to be a bisexual individual
...
It is just a part of a broad
spectrum of human sexuality
...
Bisexual students are very good in communicating socialy but some are not
...
On the other hand, some are only depriving themselves and
performing sexual harassment
...
Bisexual students are found to be more creative and idealistic in every form of
activities
...

8
...
With
regards to the society, sudden criticism and also acknowledgements are well
diminished
...
The process will start in the school that will provide
understanding that is applicable to a wide range community
...
Alleviative social comprehence maybe provided to Bisexual Students in order for
us to deepen the understanding about them
...


Participation of all students maybe established to cover up more wide range
area of study and analyzation
...
Different forms of media must regulate their programs, and promote a standard
junction for dessiminating controversial information
...
Bisexual students must be acknowledged, freely and respectively by the school
...

5
...

6
...
Rules and regulations are well managed by this organization
...
Design a form of study about Sexual Orientation as a part of the education
curriculum
...

We researchers believe that the
implementation will not only improve but also to create a better understanding the
bisexuals inside and outside the school
