Thank you for joining us to celebrate fair, accurate and inclusive representations of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community in the media. Tonight, as we recognize outstanding achievements and bold visions, we also take pause to remember the impact of our most powerful tool: our voice. The past year in news, entertainment and online media reminds us that our stories are what continue to drive equality forward. When four states brought marriage equality to the election FROM THE PRESIDENT ballot last year, GLAAD stepped forward to help couples across the nation to share messages of love and commitment that lit the way for landmark victories in Maine, Maryland, Minnesota and Washington. Now, the U.S. Supreme Court will weigh in on whether same- sex couples should receive the same federal protections as straight married couples, and GLAAD is leading the media narrative and reshaping the way Americans view marriage equality. Because of GLAAD’s work, the Boy Scouts of America is closer than ever before to ending its discriminatory ban on gay scouts and leaders. GLAAD is empowering people like Jennifer Tyrrell – an Ohio mom who was ousted as leader of her son’s Cub Scouts pack – to share their stories with top-tier national news outlets, helping Americans understand the harm this ban inflicts on gay youth and families.

En pleine émergence punk, ils découvriront l’amour, cette planète inconnue et tenteront de résoudre ce mystère : comment parler aux filles en soirée… La production Adapté de la nouvelle de Neil Gaiman, célèbre écrivain et auteur de romans graphiques, l’atmosphère, l’esprit du film et l’époque s’accordent parfaitement avec la passion jubilatoire de Mitchell pour la musique alternative. Mitchell déclare : « En général, j’aime créer mon univers moi-même mais dans ce projet, il y avait quelque chose de spécial. Le film s’inspire de la jeunesse punk de Neil Gaiman à Croydon et, par certains côtés, on a peut-être davantage besoin d’esprit punk maintenant que dans les années 70, à cause de cette impression de noirceur, de dureté, d’accablement qui règne en chacun d’entre nous à l’heure actuelle. » Ce n’est pas uniquement l’esprit punk de l’histoire qui a incité le cinéaste à situer pour la première fois son film à Londres. « C’est aussi une vraie histoire d’amour entre un punk et une extraterrestre, c’est un mélange de cultures et de sous-cultures. Les extraterrestres et les punks sont deux tribus en marge, dans le monde gris et normal du Croydon des années 70.

  • A Statement from David France, Director and Producer of the Death and Life of Marsha P
    A statement from David France, director and producer of The Death and Life of Marsha P. Johnson In 1992, the year that activist Marsha P. Johnson was killed, I was writing for the Village Voice covering AIDS and the general LGBTQ beat in New York City. Marsha had been a friend of mine, and her story fell to me to report. I started investigating right away, but with no active leads and the exploding AIDS crisis in New York, I let the story slip away. For years, my decision has haunted me. When making my first feature, How To Survive A Plague, I kept a “Projects Board” of other stories I wanted to explore in future work. Marsha’s story was always the most prominent, because I felt a duty to investigate her death the way I had not been able to in 1992. Reina Gossett has suggested that I’ve stolen both the concept and footage for The Death and Life of Marsha P Johnson from her work, the experimental short narrative Happy Birthday, Marsha. I owe a debt to those who have kept Marsha’s story alive over the years. My creative work builds on theirs. But it is it’s own scholarship. My research team and I spoke with every friend and associate of Marsha and Sylvia Rivera’s that we could reach, and poured through a vast archive to arrive at our film, aided immeasurably by the Anti Violence Project, whose story is at the center of my film. We sourced, digitized, and licensed the archival footage.

  • The Bush Revolution: the Remaking of America's Foreign Policy
    The Bush Revolution: The Remaking of America’s Foreign Policy Ivo H. Daalder and James M. Lindsay The Brookings Institution April 2003 George W. Bush campaigned for the presidency on the promise of a “humble” foreign policy that would avoid his predecessor’s mistake in “overcommitting our military around the world.”1 During his first seven months as president he focused his attention primarily on domestic affairs. That all changed over the succeeding twenty months. The United States waged wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. U.S. troops went to Georgia, the Philippines, and Yemen to help those governments defeat terrorist groups operating on their soil. Rather than cheering American humility, people and governments around the world denounced American arrogance. Critics complained that the motto of the United States had become oderint dum metuant—Let them hate as long as they fear. September 11 explains why foreign policy became the consuming passion of Bush’s presidency. Once commercial jetliners plowed into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, it is unimaginable that foreign policy wouldn’t have become the overriding priority of any American president. Still, the terrorist attacks by themselves don’t explain why Bush chose to respond as he did. Few Americans and even fewer foreigners thought in the fall of 2001 that attacks organized by Islamic extremists seeking to restore the caliphate would culminate in a war to overthrow the secular tyrant Saddam Hussein in Iraq. Yet the path from the smoking ruins in New York City and Northern Virginia to the battle of Baghdad was not the case of a White House cynically manipulating a historic catastrophe to carry out a pre-planned agenda.

    WMC INVESTIGATION: 10-YEAR ANALYSIS OF GENDER & OSCAR NOMINATIONS womensmediacenter.com @womensmediacntr WOMEN’S MEDIA CENTER ABOUT THE WOMEN’S MEDIA CENTER In 2005, Jane Fonda, Robin Morgan, and Gloria Steinem founded the Women’s Media Center (WMC), a progressive, nonpartisan, nonproft organization endeav- oring to raise the visibility, viability, and decision-making power of women and girls in media and thereby ensuring that their stories get told and their voices are heard. To reach those necessary goals, we strategically use an array of interconnected channels and platforms to transform not only the media landscape but also a cul- ture in which women’s and girls’ voices, stories, experiences, and images are nei- ther suffciently amplifed nor placed on par with the voices, stories, experiences, and images of men and boys. Our strategic tools include monitoring the media; commissioning and conducting research; and undertaking other special initiatives to spotlight gender and racial bias in news coverage, entertainment flm and television, social media, and other key sectors. Our publications include the book “Unspinning the Spin: The Women’s Media Center Guide to Fair and Accurate Language”; “The Women’s Media Center’s Media Guide to Gender Neutral Coverage of Women Candidates + Politicians”; “The Women’s Media Center Media Guide to Covering Reproductive Issues”; “WMC Media Watch: The Gender Gap in Coverage of Reproductive Issues”; “Writing Rape: How U.S. Media Cover Campus Rape and Sexual Assault”; “WMC Investigation: 10-Year Review of Gender & Emmy Nominations”; and the Women’s Media Center’s annual WMC Status of Women in the U.S.

  • Transgender and Gender Nonconforming Undergraduate Engineering Students: Perspectives, Resiliency, and Suggestions for Improving Engineering Education
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION OF Andrea Evelyn Haverkamp for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Environmental Engineering presented on January 22, 2021. Title: Transgender and Gender Nonconforming Undergraduate Engineering Students: Perspectives, Resiliency, and Suggestions for Improving Engineering Education Abstract approved: ______________________________________________________ Michelle K. Bothwell Gender has been the subject of study in engineering education and science social research for decades. However, little attention has been given to transgender and gender nonconforming (TGNC) experiences or perspectives. The role of cisgender or gender conforming status has not been investigated nor considered in prevailing frameworks of gender dynamics in engineering. The overwhelming majority of literature in the field remains within a reductive gender binary. TGNC students and professionals are largely invisible in engineering education research and theory and this exclusion causes harm to individuals as well as our community as a whole. Such exclusion is not limited to engineering contexts but is found to be a central component of systemic TGNC marginalization in higher education and in the United States. This dissertation presents literature analysis and results from a national research project which uses queer theory and community collaborative feminist methodologies to record, examine, and share the diversity of experiences within the TGNC undergraduate engineering student community, and to further generate community-informed suggestions for increased support and inclusion within engineering education programs. Transgender and gender nonconforming participants and researchers were involved at every phase of the study. An online questionnaire, follow-up interviews, and virtual community input provided insight into TGNC experiences in engineering contexts, with relationships between race, gender, ability, and region identified.

  • How to Survive a Plague Discussion Guide
    www.influencefilmforum.com How to Survive a Plague Discussion Guide Director: David France Year: 2012 Time: 110 min You might know this director from: HOW TO SURVIVE A PLAGUE is David France’s first feature-length documentary film. FILM SUMMARY HOW TO SURVIVE A PLAGUE addresses the pandemic death associated with HIV and AIDS in 1980’s America. Without any explanation or assistance, victims were never offered a real diagnosis. Finding themselves in the midst of a biased and unhelpful community, senators, mayors, even the U.S. President claimed that sufficient action was being taken. Meanwhile, victims went blind and withered away until a group of self-made activists, many who were victims themselves, took matters into their hands to instigate real change. Using amateur videography from a 30-year span, HOW TO SURVIVE A PLAGUE chronicles their trials and successes. When North Carolina Senator Jesse Helms stood before lawmakers and stated, “There is nothing gay about these people, engaging in incredibly offensive and revolting conduct that has led to the proliferation of AIDS,” homophobia and its nasty effects had fatal implications. Hospitals were given incentives not to diagnose AIDS patients, and scientists were not pressed to find a cure. Thus, ACT UP (AIDS Coalition to Unleash Power) and later TAG (Treatment Action Group) were formed, making the impossible possible, demanding more research and drug availability for victims of this horrendously virulent disease. Incredibly moving and thorough, HOW TO SURVIVE A PLAGUE follows brave activists as they tirelessly present their case across the U.S. and Europe. This film presents a living example of the power of political activism, which in this case has arguably saved over 6,000,000 lives.
