The Homosexuality Of Barney Frank
Barney Frank a former American politician and board member of New York, has served as a member of the U.S. House of Representatives from Massachusetts. He previously announced he was gay. This shocked many, but had no effect on his career. He was re-elected in Massachusetts with 70% of the votes. This reached a point when being gay was more acceptable than a politician. It is not surprising to be a gay politician anymore, especially in San Francisco. He supports Supervisor Scott Wiener; unfortunately, if he loses against Supervisor Jane Kim, it will be the first time that San Francisco hasn’t elected an LGBT representative. Frank came to town supporting Weiner, which meant to much to him. They shared their stories of how being an LGBT member

    The Enola Gay Controversy: A Historian’s Point of View

    Historians today all too often have to play the role of the “bad guy” while trying to keep public history accurate. It seems as if publishing any type of article or exhibit will lead to some type of disagreement and debacle with politicians, veterans, families involved in that particular subject, then eventually the general public as a whole. This was seen in 1994 though 1995 during the Enola Gay controversy between the National Air and Space Museum, their director and curators when politicians, and former World War II veterans and their families disagreed with the plans for an exhibit on the Enola Gay. Because of the disagreement and the museum being unable to find a “happy medium,” the exhibit was canceled and replaced with a much smaller one. This act outraged many historians who felt that the Smithsonian Institution had forfeited the right to educate and inform an audience consisting of millions of tourists worldwide about a defining experience that helped shape this century.1…

    Heteronormativity: George Lopez

    Although the show George Lopez ultimately portrays George’s family as the ideal nuclear family, there is an underlying factor within all the themes and concepts discussed that provides an intriguing insight as to why his family was portrayed the that it was—heteronormativity. As can be assumed, heteronormativity is quite simply the automatic assumption that heterosexuality is the “default” sexuality unless proven or stated otherwise. This belief that heterosexuality is the societal norm and expectation can certainly be seen throughout the two episodes, such as with the George and Angie. The show portrays George and Angie in a heterosexual relationship, which may seem like an insignificant detail; however, whenever a show…

    James Justen Recalls Growing Up Gay In The 1950's

    The sources answer the question of how has society adapted it’s the view of gay rights over time. The sources show how in the early 1900’s, society was not accepting at all of homosexual individuals. The source “Havelock Ellis on Gay Life in the American City (1915)” talks about how homosexual people were called sexually inverse, and how they were viewed as sexual predators. It describes how many, who wear the red neckties of the inverse, are also male prostitutes. As the 20th century progressed, some movement towards acceptance was made. In the source “James Justen Recalls Growing Up Gay in the 1950s”, Justen tells of how he remained closeted throughout high school, and then came out to his parents after. He was lucky, his parents were very…

    Ted Cruz Rhetorical Analysis

    Ted Cruz has been so far only GOP candidate to animadvert the same-sex court ruling sternly enough to ignite the social conservatives. While all other GOP candidates showed controlled reaction on the law, Cruz tears the court ruling down and takes the opposition of same-sex marriage as ‘front and center’ of his presidential election campaign. Most of the GOP candidates have criticized the law but ended up obeying it ‘showing respect’ to the law except for Cruz, who has initiated campaigning against same-sex marriage ruling in Iowa. He also has excoriated the court for upholding Obamacare. He suggests that the court has overstepped its bounds.…

    The Homosexuality In Randall Kenan's The Foundations Of The Earth

    In society today, there are a lot of trials and tribulations faced with adapting to the changes in the world. So far, one of the most controversial issues that is being faced recently is the subject matter of homosexuality. Lately, there has been a lot of conflict in the African societies where being a homosexual is denied. “Kenan uses the genre to reveal the archetypal depictions of racial, sexual, and gendered others a construction useful in the production of patriarchal dominance” (Wester). Kenan is known for his elaborate use of race and sexuality in his stories. He enjoys to write about his own personal experience because he is a homosexual African American man. In the story The Foundations of the Earth by Randall Kenan, he decides to give his readers insight on the current dilemma of someone being in the same situation. For example, The Foundations of the Earth tells a story about a black woman named Maggie Williams. Maggie struggles to believe that her own grandson, Edward, was a homosexual. The fact that Edward liked men was not the only thing she had to worry about because he…

    Analysis Of Homosexuality In Alison Bechdel's Fun Home

    On pages 74 through 77 of Fun Home, Alison Bechdel chronicles her full realization that she is a lesbian in her own “bookish” way. Moving on from the clinical dictionary definition of the word “lesbian” that she discovered in her early adolescence (page 74, panel 3), Bechdel turns to works of fiction and chronicles of others’ experiences with homosexuality which she finds in books at her college’s library, as opposed to exploring her sexuality on her own in the real world. This is consistent with how Bechdel approaches most situations- not necessarily that she experiences everything vicariously through published fiction, but she and her family often relay life experiences passively, such as in the form of typewritten letter (as with her coming…

    Harvey Milk: The Homosexual Movement

    As of 1977, no openly gay politician had ever held office in the United States. Homosexuality, at the time, was frowned upon and therefore the idea of a someone with “different” sexual preferences holding office was almost an impossibility. As our country was evolving during the 70’s, gays and lesbians began fighting for their rights. The voice of this phenomenal movement was that of Harvey Milk. In 1977, Milk would change American politics forever.…

    But the fact is, gentlemen, I’m a real person who is affected by the decisions you make as Senators, and the decisions you might make as the President and Vice President. I am a mortgaged homeowner living in Marion, Iowa. I live with my girlfriend of 5 years in a loving, monogamous relationship. We have 2 dogs and we split all household bills equally. We both work 40 hours a week, pay our bills on time, contribute to the economy both locally and nationally, pay taxes, are responsible pet owners, are defensive drivers with clean records, and we get involved in democracy by voting and grassroots activism. At the end of the day, the most important thing to me is not some imaginary “gay agenda.” It’s being able to relax at home with my girlfriend and not have to worry what she will do if something happens to me.…

    The Role Of Sexuality In The 1950's

    Sexuality, like many other things in our world, is an ever changing thing. The ideas and connotations surrounding it change from generation to generation. Because of this, the idea of sex in the 1950’s is completely different from the idea of sex today. Today, sexuality can be expressed in almost anything we do. Commercials, billboards, TV shows, movies, magazine articles, and many other things are driven and influenced by the idea of sex. People today cannot escape the sexuality that surrounds us. However, things were not always like this. In the 1950’s, sex was a taboo topic. Nobody talked about it, it wasn’t used in advertisements,…

    The People Vs. Larry Flynt: Film Analysis

    Voters in most secular nations generally don’t care about the sex lives of their elected officials and an extramarital affair isn’t necessarily the end of a political career. The political climate is obviously very different in America and, accordingly, many lawmakers portray a public image of conservative values while leading very different private lives. After all, former Seattle Police Chief Norm Stamper once wrote that it was “common to find in a prostitute’s little black book the names of prominent locals--businessmen, elected officials, judges, athletes, cops.” That’s not a surprise as there are numerous examples of politicians who have legislated with intolerance while behaving as if they’re exempt from the same laws. Time and time…

    Homosexuality Current Event

    Lately, there has been a surge of bills throughout the nation regarding homosexual rights. In Texas and Alabama, either the House or the Senate decided to "narrow their rights." On the same day, Connecticut became the first state to approve "marriage-like civil unions" without a court order. Vermont and Washington State remain relatively torn, but the pending bill in Washington regarding equality for gays in housing, insurance, and employment was rejected by the Senate by a 25-24 vote.…
