Intro: Like various art forms such as film, television, and literature allows artists to express their own sense of identity, that being nationality, race, class, ethnicity, gender or sexuality. In this case, Queen uses music to illustrate the themes of gender and sexuality through their music video I Want to Break Free (1983). This essay will attempt to discuss how Queen’s music video, I Want to Break Free, explores queerness in relation to queer theory. Firstly, I will introduce the ideas and arguments of queer theory through Gilbert Herdt article Same Sex Different Cultures (1997). I will then discuss Queen’s portrayal of drag within the music video and how it can be seen as queer rather than heterosexual. Lastly, I will argue that

The main character goes through many phases, and hardships throughout his life and this video takes you through it. From the day he was born, people would feel the happiness and the loved his parents gave him. When he was in the third grade, he was confused, and lost. He ran to his mother in tears and said he thought he was gay. His mom said it was all in your head, and that you loved girls since you were in pre-k. After, his mom convincing him that he isn’t gay and it’s all in his head, he realized that no church or anyone can cure or change who he is. He knew who he was, and came out. His mom wouldn’t accept that and tried to change him, but that just put him in more pain. He just wanted to be accepted by the one person that raised him. When he came out people were just leaving him out, calling him names, pushing him around, and saying that he is wrong for being in love with the same gender. All that hate he got didn’t matter to him what matter was that he was finally happy with someone who he loves. The way he was being mistreated by people, just made him stronger and proud for whom he is, and no one is bringing him down. At this point others would feel bad for him because of the hate people had for him, but also happy because he knew what was right and what had to be done.

Gay’s is something many people do not agree on. It has through the country for a spin, the hate, violence, and eventually equality. John found out when the pastor ask for any confessions later in the sermon just like every Sunday that his son stood up and admitted that he was gay. John didn’t know what to do. Stacey didn’t laugh or jump up and down she gave him advice and John someone would had hated gay people, and didn’t understand the situation has been ushered into the same shoes that Stacey had been. It doesn’t matter who you’re, what your name is, or how much money you make, you’re equal to the person next to you. People are entitled to their opinion and moral standards, but that should be kept to themselves. “I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.” –Martin Luther King Jr. People should not be judged by the color of their skin, same goes with sexuality, it should be judged by the kind of person they are, how they leave an impact on the world. I leave a challenge to the reader, what impact will you leave on the world, positive or

While many believe that homosexuality has only been seen in mainstream media for only a few decades, it has actually been with America cinema since the early 1920’s. The portrayal of homosexuality in film and TV has come a very long way since the 1920’s. What viewers see on TV about homosexuality is really just a representation of America’s changing public view on the subject. While we have come to accept the topic of homosexuality in American society more willingly, we have substituted much of our prejudice about gays with the stereotypes that we see on TV constantly. Because as a society we are constantly forced to see these stereotypes, we are being halted in our progression to accept all different kinds of lifestyles.

As a kid it wasn’t even something that was mentioned. It was never something that was explained to me. It was just ‘That’s Mark, and he’s gay.’ Mark was just another friend of my dad’s who would talk about his boyfriend instead of his girlfriend. I was five. I didn’t care. It seemed perfectly normal, and still does.”(Rader, 2012).

Earlier this year, Thomas gave his senior speech to most of the school community about his experiences being gay. The crowd’s reaction was an overwhelming amount of love and support, and everyone seemed to be very accepting of his sexual orientation.

Social media is a big platform for Connor Franta and he has used it to send out many of his messages.Connor didn't know whether "[he liked] boys, girls, or both" (Franta 133). Connor was gay and had been for a while but going out on dates with women and still labeling himself as "straight" masked that. Connor decided that he wasn't going to live a lie anymore, he was going to be himself. He slowly, first told close friends that he was gay, then family and other friends(Franta 134), even though he was hesitant about it. Then finally he had to be truthful with his fans, so Connor uploaded a video to his YouTube channel, which was titled "Coming Out". I remember when his video first came out, I watched within minutes. I wasn't surprised that he was gay but I was surprised he actually took the time to make and post a video and not care about the harsh comments that would be left for that video. But that’s why he “[doesn't] care about what people say about [him] or what [he does]” (Franta

Subtract the opinion polls and the ‘gays function well in the workplace’ add the normalisation of sexual deviancy by the Kinsey report.

with you? For me it was a resonance that almost any phrase can be perceived as offensive. Each of us has some negative experience associated with skin color or nation, but it's very difficult to prove that you did not have anything bad in your words or actions, if the majority thinks that this is so.

I felt delighted as I watched the episode “Born This Way” from “Glee”. The story was appealing due to the high school setting. Besides the entertaining purpose, the episode also reflected three significant issues namely discrimination, cosmetic surgery and homosexuality.

He said he was gay since he was in the fifth grade but he was too afraid to bring it to anyone’s attention. He stated he almost exterminated his self because he held it in for so long that it started troubling him physically and emotional. He told his peer how one night he was going to a depression stage on why his life can’t be joyful like everyone else’s. As he went in details on how everything happened, his mother walked into his room unannounced and saw him with the knife to his throat. After that situation occur him and his mother talked about everything and how it started. His mother was unpleased with him being gay at the moment, but she know deep down in her heart that she can’t judge her child for what he is ; so she finally came up to part with his lifestyle. Ever since he went through that complex situation, he felt like he didn’t had to hide his sex orientation any longer because he came out and told his mother and basically she was the only person he have to clarify his self

On View of Homosexuality Continuum, I probably be 4.5. For me 4.5 mean when you see some who is a homosexual, you say it’s their business, so I don’t care. Because I’m not the one who have to deal with God for loving someone who is the same sex as you

The name of the video I viewed was “Ch10. Gender Development". I viewed this video at 8:14 PM on April 27, 2016. The video begins with the narrator introducing a woman that is studying the effects of how we treat children on gender development. Her name is Dr. Caroline Smith. She is sitting at a desk watching a baby and a mother interact. The video then shows her telling a mother about a baby that she will be playing with while she studies them. The narrator explains that Dr. Smith does a study using mothers. She asks the mothers to play with children that they have never met previously. She analyzes the difference between how others act towards boys that towards girls. Different mothers are shown playing with different children. Dr. Smith

I disagree with this statement, as the morals, ethics and values of society constantly change; the ‘pop culture’ for today’s generation show teenagers and young people swearing on TV shows and films, as well as in songs, making swearing a new norm, whereas around 35 to 40 years ago swearing was unheard of.
