The Gay Option: Article Analysis

Reading Desperate Housewives discusses several aspects of the show, including queer dilemmas. The eighth chapter written by Kristian T. Kahn contains that Marc Cherry “is a self-proclaimed ‘gay Republican’” (McCabe, 95).

The creator of the show has a lot in common with Andrew Van De Kamp.

For instance, in sentence one she writes, “When I see men who look like him or his friends”, or in the next sentence when she writes, “When I smell beer on a mans breath.” These are incomplete thoughts or sentence fragments. Gay allows these intentional mistakes to hook readers into finding out what happens next. This form of repetition also drives home what triggers are, showcasing their importance, and forcing readers to meditate on them.

In some cases, such as Shrek 2, it depicts the emerging of coming one’s true self just as many gays and lesbians must do. Another example of how the media/ televi?sion industry has changed in the ways they want to depict gays and lesbians is the example of Ellen. Although, it failed and they had to redirect the way of the show, they used Ellen to speak on LGBTQ issues. The Ellen show also helped to get recurring gay characters in double digits.

Reading Response for “What’s Love Got to Do with It?” In “ What’s Love Got to DO with It”, Anjula Razdan talks about how humans are probably not the best at finding love.

The sexual preferences of, in this particular instance, actual gay men are portrayed in a humiliating and demeaning manner. This film makes it seem as if one can get special treatment by proclaiming they are gay and abusing what is a struggle for this community. Contrasting to the constant objectification of women, members of the LGBTQ+ community have this struggle themselves. One of the newest additions to this film conundrum is G.B.F. (Gay Best Friend) (2013). This film objectifies a gay high school boy who was outed in his school and was then sought after to be the ‘gay best friend’ of many high school girls.

But take my opinion with a grain of salt, there will always be people who dislike gay people no matter how much you educate them. And that is because through ignorance and influences from either old generations or religion.

So let me ask you one last question, how would you feel in their shoes? I mean people say it’s their choice if they’re gay or not, but if there is so much hatred going towards the LGBT community, why would someone want to be gay. It’s like saying it’s not your choice who you fall in love with, but it’s not you can’t choose who you like, you can only choose to act on it. So tell me if you saw the love of your life, would you just ignore them because your friends, and family disapprove of him/her.
