- Should gay couples be able to marry?
- Sempai / kohai
- Are there sempai / kohai relationships in this class?
- Does either the sempai or the kohai benefit more than the other?

- What types of groups have stronger sempai / kohai relationships?
- Are sempai / kohai relationships as strong now as they used to be?
- Are sempai / kohai in Japan similar to or different from relationships in other countries?

I know I'm not in class, but if you need any ideas for the first topic, the 10th anniversary of the Laramie, Wyoming beating was a couple Mondays ago. Matthew Shepard was tortured and killed outside of Laramie; witnesses say that he was targeted because he was gay. Locally, there've been beatings of people who are/were gay or thought to be gay. If that helps for the first topic...just in case conversation falls a little short. :-)
Thanks so much! It's nice to hear from you and I appreciate the contribution. I'll try to remember to bring this up in class.
