In this module, we learned about how homosexuality impacts the nature of friendship for all of us. With the rise of support for gay marriages and alternative unions, we are witnessing more of a value placed on friendship. Philosopher Michael Foucault argues that we have an opportunity to expand our understanding of friendship, beyond the state of our current realm, where our connections remain quite limited: “Society and the institutions which frame it have limited the possibility of relationships (to marriage) because a rich, relational world would be very complex to manage” (p. 207).

In at least 250 words total, please answer each of the following, drawing upon your reading materials and your personal insight. Please be sure that you do not provide names of people or identifying characteristics of the workplace.

How exactly do our judgments and perceptions of homosexual relationships impact our expressions and understandings of friendships?
