In the short story, “Excerpt from Katerinas Wish” by Jeannie Mobley, main character Trina’s mood changed from disappointed at the beginning of the story to astonished towards the end.

Tongues Untied (Riggs, 1989) is an award winning documentary by Marlon Riggs with the assistance of many other homosexual black men. The documentary put poems together to recreate an image of what it was like to grow up as a homosexual black man during the 80's. Men in the film spoke about the discrimination they had to face on everyday bases. They were called names like faggot, homo, and punk, but if they kept silent about being homosexual they felt like the silence was just as impairing. Some even reveal that they were treated as a threat or invisible. The film also shows how black homosexuals were able to meet one another in places like gay bars or gay pride meetings and rallies.

The film ended with obituaries of men who had fallen victim to AIDS (Riggs, 1889).
