"you have to come out all the time"
depends on how comfortable they are
and how out they are in daily life
how much they've had to lie
*best ways to ask "who will be coming to see you" "who will be making decisions for you"??
forms: don't ask if married, widowed or divorced
why it is imp to be out?
"because it's who you are"
issue: you come up against people's biases, conscious and unconscious
aside about having babies "out of wedlock" (wedlock!??)
Leonard Pitz column in the Oregonian this morning on William and Kate
70% of adult Americans were married in the 1950's
"everything changes"
know somebody inside each culture and ask them to help you understand
a "cultural informant"
how do you ask?
1) do not assume anything
2) recognize that there is a range of privilege that comes from being heterosexual
OK to show affection in public
can speak openly about your partner/relationship
don't face rejection from family
have positive role models

Pending in Oregon, SB 97 requires the Oregon Health Authority (OHA) and Oregon's health care professional regulatory boards to collaborate to develop standards for continuing education in cultural competence, develop a list of opportunities for continuing education, and coordinate with other states and national entities to develop and implement continuing education.
The bill also defines "cultural competence" as "the process by which individuals and systems respond respectfully and effectively to people of all cultures, languages, economic statuses, races, ethnic backgrounds, disabilities, religions, genders, sexual orientations and other characteristics in a manner that recognizes, affirms, values the worth of and preserves the dignity of individuals, families and communities."
