  • Transgender Representation on American Narrative Television from 2004-2014
    TRANSJACKING TELEVISION: TRANSGENDER REPRESENTATION ON AMERICAN NARRATIVE TELEVISION FROM 2004-2014 A Dissertation Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY by Kelly K. Ryan May 2021 Examining Committee Members: Jan Fernback, Advisory Chair, Media and Communication Nancy Morris, Media and Communication Fabienne Darling-Wolf, Media and Communication Ron Becker, External Member, Miami University ABSTRACT This study considers the case of representation of transgender people and issues on American fictional television from 2004 to 2014, a period which represents a steady surge in transgender television characters relative to what came before, and prefigures a more recent burgeoning of transgender characters since 2014. The study thus positions the period of analysis as an historical period in the changing representation of transgender characters. A discourse analysis is employed that not only assesses the way that transgender characters have been represented, but contextualizes American fictional television depictions of transgender people within the broader sociopolitical landscape in which those depictions have emerged and which they likely inform. Television representations and the social milieu in which they are situated are considered as parallel, mutually informing discourses, including the ways in which those representations have been engaged discursively through reviews, news coverage and, in some cases, blogs. ii To Desmond, Oonagh and Eamonn For everything. And to my mother, Elaine Keisling, Who would have read the whole thing. iii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Throughout the research and writing of this dissertation, I have received a great deal of support and assistance, and therefore offer many thanks. To my Dissertation Chair, Jan Fernback, whose feedback on my writing and continued support and encouragement were invaluable to the completion of this project.

  • Abstract Pray the Gay Away
    ABSTRACT PRAY THE GAY AWAY: RHETORICAL DILEMMAS OF THE AMERICAN EX-GAY MOVEMENT by Travis Allan Webster The Ex-Gay Movement marks a contemporary, traditionally North American emergence of “reparative” therapies and ministries that attempt to convert gay men and lesbians into “straight” identities. Pray the Gay Away theorizes these reparative rhetoric(s) as arenas that create discursive spaces of tension—what I call “second closets”—for “ex-gays” in virtual and material contexts. Through digital, rhetorical analyses, this thesis investigates the performative and linguistic reactions of ex-gays exhibited in online testimonies on pro-ex-gay websites, while examining rhetoric(s) of counter-hegemonic, online communities that seek to work against the Ex-Gay Movement.

A Qualitative Study Mohammadrasool Yadegarfard1 © The Author(s) 2019 Abstract The existence of gay men is undeniable in Iran; however, Iran’s Islamic law consid- ers same sex relationships a crime punishable by the death penalty. The aim of this study is to use a qualitative approach to gain a more in-depth understanding of the coping strategies adopted by gay men living in Iran under systematic suppression based on each individual’s subjective experiences, feelings, intention and beliefs. A semi-structured interview in Farsi (Persian) language was used to gather the quali- tative data. Twenty-three men who identifed themselves as gay and who currently live in Iran were interviewed for this study. Transcripts of the interviews were sub- jected to analysis using thematic analysis. The key themes that emerged as coping strategies were: risk taking; internalized oppression; travelling/leaving the country; social networks and family of choice; mental health and psychological therapy and medication; social class; and developing a new identity. The implications of these fndings are discussed. Keywords Gay culture · Gay men · Iran (Islamic Republic of) · Systematic suppression · Thematic analysis · Qualitative research Introduction Matsumoto and Juang (2017) observed that a group of people living in an isolated location under certain environmental conditions will adapt by developing survival techniques which contribute to the formulation of a new society.

  • Homophobia – a Global Phenomenon
    The nature of homophobia and how it might be overcome Michael King Division of Psychiatry (Faculty of Brain Sciences) University College London Outline • What is homophobia? • Homophobia across history, culture and time • The forms of homophobia • Its effects • Its possible origins • How it might be overcome What is homophobia? • Prejudice, stigma and discrimination against lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people. – Transgender is included because opposition contains much of the same “moral outrage” at sex and gender – Can be severe within families, unlike other prejudice – Becomes an “internalised” sense of shame Homophobia • First used by George Weinberg in 1972 • Adopted to reflect – an irrational fear – discriminator’s fears about his (or her) own sexual feelings Has homophobia always been with us? • Homosexuality arose as a term in late 19th C. • Same sex behaviour previously regarded as sin • Many religions object to the sin of same sex behaviour – Greatest disapproval found in the Abrahamic faiths • But not all – e.g. Shinto is silent on homosexuality, – "homosexuality" is a Western concept, – Lack of scriptures or holy texts • Few societies have tolerated, much less accepted as equal, homosexual relationships. One of the most extreme modern examples can be found in the 20th century… “Kennzeichen für Schutzhäftlinge in den Konz. Lagern” “Markings for Protective Custody Prisoners." Variations marked: • repeat offenders • prisoners in punishment battalions • homosexual Jews Other colours identified: • political prisoners • previously convicted criminals • emigrants • Jehovah's Witnesses • “asocials”. US Holocaust Memorial Museum Holocaust • ~100,000 gay people imprisoned and ~ 15,000 sent to concentration camps and forced to wear the 'pink triangle’ • Up to 60% lost their lives.
