Rehearsal (9:30am) + Grad. Ceremony (6:00pm) Summer Group Programming GSA PRIDE MONTH Angelica Ross was born on November 28, 1980, as a male, and was raised in Racine, Wisconsin. When 17 and uncertain about her gender identity, she came out as gay. Her family responded negatively, resulting in her attempting to commit suicide. Ross attended the University of Wisconsin-Parkside for one semester before joining the U.S. Navy to qualify for the G.I. Bill. Six months later, Ross requested to be discharged under the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy due to harassment. Ross transitioned from male to female when she was 19 years old, leading to her mother and step-father rejecting her genuine gender identity. Eventually, Ross left to live with her dad in Roanoke, Virginia, waitressing so she could earn enough money to attend cosmetology school. After facing discrimination in Virginia, Ross moved to Hollywood, Florida, where she overhauled a website for her employer and taught herself how to code computers. Ross later became the employment coordinator at the Trans Life Center in Chicago, Illinois, assisting transgender people obtain health care and security. In 2014, Ross founded a non-profit organization, TransTech Social Enterprises, that provides transgender people with technical training and helps them find employment in technology industries. In 2018, Ross was cast as Candy in the critically acclaimed series "Pose," and starred as Donna Chambers, a psychologist, in the "American Horror Story" series. Late in 2019, Ross hosted the official discussion of LGBTQ+ issues with the 2020 Democratic canditates in the presidential race, becoming the first transgender person to host a national presidential candidate forum. Angelica Ross is truly an icon (be it in the television industry, advocacy, or entrepreneurship) ** DAILY ATTENDANCE ** ↓↓↓ Click Here ↓↓↓ https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScUYFxLb6yV 5K-aKxq9G9YvRNrUP0Ub3m6B8mGz2LXz8-KWGg/view form?usp=sf_link Let's have a great day Eagles!.

    QUEERING THE SCRIPT 93 minutes / CANADA Written and Directed by Gabrielle Zilkha ** OFFICIAL SELECTION – 2019 Inside Out LGBT Film Festival ** ** OFFICIAL SELECTION – 2019 Frameline43 ** Recipient of the Frameline Completion Fund ** OFFICIAL SELECTION – 2019 Outfest LGBT Film Festival ** Winner of the Special Programming Award for Freedom ** OFFICIAL SELECTION - AGLIFF 2019 ** ** OFFICIAL SELECTION – RAINDANCE FILM FESTIVAL 2019 ** Queering the Script is produced by Shaftesbury with the participation of Hollywood Suite, the Canada Media Fund, the Frameline Completion Fund, and with the assistance of The Canadian Film or Video Tax Credit and The Ontario Film and Television Tax Credit. Logline: Giving queer fandom a voice in the conversation about LGBTQ+ representation from “Xena” to “The L Word” to “Pose”, QUEERING THE SCRIPT examines the rising power of the fans and audience shaping representation on TV, the relationship between fandom and activism, and what lies ahead for visibility and inclusiveness. Synopsis: Queerness on television has moved from subtext, in series such as “Xena: Warrior Princess”, to all- out multi season relationships between women, as seen on “Buffy the Vampire Slayer”, “Lost Girl”, and “Carmilla”. But things still aren’t perfect. In 2016, a record number of queer women died on fictional shows, which broke the hearts of queer fans and launched a successful fight for better, more diverse LGTBQ2S+ representation. Stars such as Ilene Chaiken, Stephanie Beatriz, Lucy Lawless and Angelica Ross join with the voices of numerous kickass fangirls in this fast-paced history of queer women’s representation of contemporary television. QUEERING THE SCRIPT not only charts the evolution of queerness, but also demonstrates the extraordinary impact of activism on its many diverse fans, ensuring that they see themselves accurately portrayed on screen.

Disney, Lynda Weinman, Charlotte Cook, Michael Sherman, Matthew Perniciaro, WORLD PREMIERE 2020 SUNDANCE FILM FESTIVAL Released globally on Netflix June 19, 2020 PRESS CONTACTS Netflix: Rene Ridinger [email protected] Acme PR: Nancy Willen [email protected] LOGLINE Disclosure shows how the fabled stories of Hollywood deeply influence how Americans feel about transgender people, and how trans people are taught to feel about themselves. SYNOPSIS Disclosure is an unprecedented, eye-opening look at transgender depictions in film and television, revealing how Hollywood simultaneously reflects and manufactures our deepest anxieties about gender. Leading trans thinkers and creatives, including Laverne Cox, Lilly Wachowski, Yance Ford, Mj Rodriguez, Jamie Clayton, and Chaz Bono, share their reactions and resistance to some of Hollywood’s most beloved moments. Grappling with films like A Florida Enchantment (1914), Dog Day Afternoon, The Crying Game, and Boys Don’t Cry, and with shows like The Jeffersons, The L-Word, and Pose, they trace a history that is at once dehumanizing, yet also evolving, complex, and sometimes humorous. What emerges is a fascinating story of dynamic interplay between trans representation on screen, society’s beliefs, and the reality of trans lives. Reframing familiar scenes and iconic characters in a new light, director Sam Feder invites viewers to confront unexamined assumptions, and shows how what once captured the American imagination now elicit new feelings. Disclosure provokes a startling revolution in how we see and understand trans people.

  • Television's Transgender Tipping Point “Her Story: Representing
    Television’s Transgender Tipping Point “Her Story: Representing Transgenderism in the Web Series” Sarah E. S. Sinwell, University of Utah Theorists of queer media have often pointed to the underground nature of queerness. Historically, queerness on television could be seen in minor roles on soap operas such as All My Children (ABC, 1970-2011) and The Bold and the Beautiful (CBS, 1987-2013), teen television shows such as Degrassi (CTV, 2001-present) and Glee (Fox, 2009-2015), or crime series such as Law and Order: Special Victims Unit (NBC, 1999-present) and CSI (CBS, 2000-2015). However, recently, representations of transgenderism have become more and more omnipresent on contemporary television as the popularity of Orange is the New Black (Netflix, 2013-present), Transparent (Amazon, 2014-present), and Sense8 (Netflix, 2015-present) attest. Laverne Cox’s role as Sophia in Orange is the New Black and Mya Taylor’s role as Alexandra in Tangerine (Sean Baker, 2015) are evidence that trans actors are now even getting recognized in the media industry for Emmys and Independent Spirit Awards. In this essay, I explore the current transgender web series, Her Story (Sydney Freeland, 2015) as a means of further examining how representations of transgenderism can be understood in popular culture. Following in the footsteps of the It Gets Better Project of 2010, web series such as Eden’s Garden (Seven King, 2015), Crave (Aneesh Sheth, 2015), Brothers (Emmett Lundberg, 2015) and Her Story attempt to explore the constantly evolving meanings of transgender identity within contemporary culture. Pursuing stories of relationships that question the construction of queer identity as camp or kitsch, these series incorporate narratives of the self as a means of (re)defining sex, sexuality, and queerness.
