But first, I have to tell you about my first pap smear. You see, I have cerebral palsy and my legs often spasm when I get uncomfortable or nervous. I was certainly nervous going into the appointment because I knew there would be issues with those infamous stirrups. It was the day that changed my life. Let me set the scene: it is the day of the fated pap smear. I had hooked my arms around one leg in a death grip, a nurse was holding the other, as the gynecologist was performing the procedure as fast as she could. In this circumstance it was not just my legs that seized up, it was my entire lower body, including my vagina. I was visibly sweating and red in the face, trying to hold onto my twitching right leg. The doctor noticed me struggling and told me to “relax and breathe.” I rolled my eyes, knowing that it wouldn’t magically make my entire body stop spazzing, but I took a deep breath to be a good sport. It did not help with the spasms. Although the doctor and nurse were medical professionals, they didn’t get that I couldn’t relax in this compromising position. Can anyone truly relax with strangers holding on to their legs and looking at their genitals? No.

    BiNet USA Logo. BiNet USA Encyclopedia Copyright © 2015, glbtq, Inc. byEntry Claude Copyright J. Summers© 2009 glbtq, Inc. Reprinted from http://www.glbtq.com BiNet USA describes itself as "America's umbrella organization and voice for bisexual, pansexual, fluid and all other of us 'somewhere in between' people as well as their lesbian, gay, transgender, 'straight but not narrow' and questioning friends and allies." The organization works toward the development of a cohesive network of independent bisexual and bi- friendly communities and promotes bisexual, pansexual, and bi-inclusive visibility. It also collects and distributes educational information regarding sexual orientation and gender identity, especially information about and of interest to bisexual and pansexual communities. The oldest national bisexual organization in the United States, BiNet USA was spawned by a gathering of bisexual activists at the National March on Washington for Lesbian and Gay Rights in 1987. In 1990, the North American Bisexual Network, as it was then known, sponsored a national conference in San Francisco. In 1991, the organization changed its name to BiNet USA. The organization has an impressive online presence through its participation in most of the social networking venues and through its own website: www.binetusa.org. A number of online resources are highlighted on the site, which also provides lists of national and local bisexual and pansexual associations, as well as links to many glbtq media, legal, and activist groups and to such specifically bisexual educational and political resources as the Bisexual Resource Center, the American Institute of Bisexuality, and Bialogue, the website and blog of the New York Bisexual Network.

  • The Suburban Uncanny in Late 20Th Century American Horror Sarah N
    Terror in the Cul-de-sac: The Suburban Uncanny in Late 20th Century American Horror Sarah N. Michelson Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Prerequisite for Honors in English April 2018 © 2018 Sarah N. Michelson Table of Contents Introduction page 3 Literature page 19 Film page 52 Further Applications page 72 References page 82 1 Dedicated to Toby and David Michelson for always encouraging me to learn, and to Cameron Michelson, for always watching horror movies with me. 2 Introduction To experience fear is a fundamental part of the human condition, to seek safety, every bit as much. This thesis will be exploring how a manufactured image of American safety and identity in the mid-twentieth century (the 50s and 60s in particular) translated into a new subgenre of horror by the century's end: an unexpected horror of the mundane. By 1990, fear could be found in a suburban kitchen as it could have previously been found in a remote haunted castle. Authors like Stephen King and directors like David Lynch were just a few of the creative forces who made the cul-de-sac a terrifying place to be. This thesis defines this sort of fear as, "the suburban uncanny," a phenomenon wherein creators of horror media exploited suburbia's familiar qualities in order to create a distinctive brand of fear and terror that subverted suburban lifestyles. The suburban uncanny appears quite often in media from the late 20th century— that is, media made by creatives who were born and raised in the newly suburbanized America. This thesis will examine the books IT, Needful Things, and The Stepford Wives; as well as the films Blue Velvet and Poltergeist, in order to explore how and why this phenomenon becomes so manifest in the latter part of the 20th century.
