cases where someone makes a misattribution of another’s sexual orientation based on the
cultural stereotype of homosexuality and aggresses against the target erroneously.
Assignment: Analyze this case using course concepts we have studied so far. Write an essay
that contains at least these three components: how deviance occurred, what kind(s) of
deviance occurred and at least one theoretical perspective that you think has good explanatory
power with respect to this case.
If you use the text or external resources remember to use APA citations in the body of your
essay and in the corresponding References Cited section at the end of the essay. Reminder:
you cannot use Wikipedia or the websites of other universities;
Create a Microsoft Word document, using double-spacing, paragraphs and subheadings for
each component;
There is no set length for your essay although 500 words or more will probably be needed to
provide sound analysis;
Carefully edit your essay for grammar and spelling errors and for presentation style.
This assignment is due by one minute before midnight on the last Sunday of Week 3. Please
