    ARE WE KILLING THE BOYS HARSHLY? THE CONSUMPTION OF THE MALE GAZE IN QUEER PAGES Aron Lee Christian Submitted to the faculty of the University Graduate School in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Master of Arts in the Department of Communication Studies Indiana University August 2010 Accepted by the Faculty of Indiana University, in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts. ___________________________________ Elizabeth M. Goering, Ph.D. Chair ___________________________________ Catherine A. Dobris, Ph.D. Master’s Thesis Committee ___________________________________ Kristine B. Karnick, Ph.D. ii Dedication I dedicate this thesis to the idea of change—the type of change that Anne Frank wrote about in her diary. Frank left a legacy that echoes the world over in which she tells us, “How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world.” While this thesis took many moments of my life to complete, it is my hope that this research causes a moment for those that come across it. In that moment, I hope your world changes. I hope you reach out to improve the human condition for any that have been persecuted or been discriminated against for simply being who they are. If you have been one of the persecuted many, I hope you find strength in realizing that there are individuals fighting for you, and I hope that strength guides you to help others. Above all, I dedicate this work to those who find the fortitude and hopeful ambition of creating a better tomorrow one moment at a time.

  • Roll a D100 42 Times (Subsequent Rerolls Will, Almost Certainly, Be Called for However)
    The Serious Business Waifu CYOA v. 2.0 by NyuuLucy “because pictures are for casuals” Note: Its easier if instead of rolling in post you use a dedicated dice roller like https://www.wizards.com/dnd/dice/dice.htm Roll a D100 42 times (subsequent rerolls will, almost certainly, be called for however) ● Your waifu posseses [20] total trait slots. ● To fill these slots you must first freely select 1 trait from any of the categories. ● Her second trait slot must be filled by a trait from the “Endearing Foible” category. To determine which foible roll twice on the foible chart and pick one. ● The remaining slots may be filled by selecting traits freely from your PTP (potential trait pool). Your potential trait pool is generated by rolling for a specified number of traits from each category. To ensure no single category is over or under represented traits from each individual category must fill a specified minimum number of slots and may not fill more than a specified maximum number of slots. ● If you dislike all of your available traits from a given category you may reroll that category however for each such reroll you must fill an additional slot with a foible generated in the same manner as the first (roll two pick one) allowing fewer total choices from your PTP. ● If you roll the same number more than once when rolling for a particular category that trait instantly and irrevocably occupies a trait slot ● If you should happen to roll 47 twice at the same time you must roll once on the Critical Hit category (these options do not occupy trait slots) ● Some traits provide an additional “bonus Trait” unless otherwise specified they do not occupy one of your 20 trait slots enabling your waifu to posses more than 20 total traits.

  • Connecticut Gay and Lesbian Film Festival Collection, 1988-2007
    CONNECTICUT GAY AND LESBIAN FILM FESTIVAL COLLECTION Film Festival Logos History The Connecticut Gay and Lesbian Film Festival began as a project of the cultural organization Alternatives. Alternatives: the Hartford Gay and Lesbian Cultural Organization, Inc. was founded in 1988 to promote and encourage lesbian and gay talent and to provide a forum for scholarship, art and literature that spoke positively to the lesbian/gay experience. It is a nonprofit organization incorporated with the state. The co-chairs were Alicia Davis, Bill Mann and Terri Reid; Secretary, Derek-Stefan Johns; and Treasurer Scott Laugenour. Alternatives met every third Wednesday at 7:30 p.m. at the Lesbian and Gay Community Center, 495 Farmington Avenue, Hartford. The organization was composed of various subcommittees: Visual Arts (which produced the Film Festival); Literature; Scholarship and Heritage; Music; Performance; and Publicity/Calendar. In addition, monthly salons were held to encourage members in the development of the various arts. Annual Subscribers’ fees were $15.00. In its early days it produced the play “The Haunted Host”; sponsored an Alternative Art Exhibition; presented Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick, Professor of English at Amherst College, speaking on gay aspects of classic literature; and hosted several musical and video salons. Alternatives issued a short lived literary periodical entitled Invert. The Hartford Lesbian and Gay film Festival evolved into the Connecticut Gay and Lesbian Film Festival. The film festival celebrated its 20th anniversary
