Yes, a day after the outline, we have yet to have an epiphany.
But we have taken a little step, well, it seems like a little step, but it seems like a BIG step. We have assigned the topics to the three different group members. Alyssa has been assigned the harder to find catagory of business, while Jess has undertaken the obvious topic: the church. Sheri, meanwhile, is left to research the media.
Now, time to research!

Sheri doesn't know if this source is entirely reliable, as it seems a lot like a school essay. Similar to ours?
But it's helpful. Helpfulness is good.
Alyssa has found out that a homosexual woman will get employed before a heterosexual woman, but a heterosexual man will get employed faster than any other orientation.
Nice to know!
Another somewhat good source on media depiction in homosexuality: http://www.media-awareness.ca/english/issues/stereotyping/gays_and_lesbians/gay_news.cfm This website argues that while television and movies are improving in portraying homosexuals, the news press is still prejudiced in some form, and says the gay and lesbian press is partly to blame. The website also references a lot of studies conducted.
And the bell swiftly ends this research session.
