  • Rural Hysteria: Genre of the Reimagined Past, Spectacle of Aids, and Queer Politics in Diana Lee Inosanto’S the Sensei
    RURAL HYSTERIA: GENRE OF THE REIMAGINED PAST, SPECTACLE OF AIDS, AND QUEER POLITICS IN DIANA LEE INOSANTO’S THE SENSEI Kendall Joseph Binder A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS August 2013 Committee: Becca Cragin, Advisor Jeffrey Allan Brown Marilyn Ferris Motz © 2013 Kendall Joseph Binder All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Becca Cragin, Advisor Diana Inosanto reimagines the 1980s AIDS epidemic in her film, The Sensei (2008) and implements cultural issues on rurality, sexuality, and tolerance within the overall narrative structure. Finding it important to use the works of Rick Altman, John G. Cawelti, and Fredric Jameson, I theorize how postmodernism affects film genres and their evolution through pastiche and historical events. Within this genre cycle, The Sensei fits into several other film genre types that include the queer film, AIDS film, and martial arts film. Drawing from the works of Richard Dyer, B. Ruby Rich, Kylo-Patrick Hart, and David West, I place The Sensei into each category to develop thoughts on how hybrid genres work into film creation. Analyzing the works on myths of the small town and rurality, assumptions about queer migration, and stigmatizations about AIDS, I attempt to disprove these myths and assumptions through the works of Bud W. Jerke, Judith Halberstam, Michael Kennedy, and Emily Kazyak. My overall goal is to project social awareness about queer cultural geography, issues with AIDS in rural areas, and the vitalization of anti-bullying issues that have saturated our media landscape within the last two decades using Inosanto’s The Sensei as a vehicle to evoke thought.

  • Allen, Chad (B
    Allen, Chad (b. 1974) by Linda Rapp Encyclopedia Copyright © 2015, glbtq, Inc. Entry Copyright © 2005, glbtq, inc. Reprinted from http://www.glbtq.com Chad Allen gained fame for his sensitive portrayal of an autistic child on a hit television show, but unlike many child stars, he has successfully made the transition from child actor to adult actor. He has also come out as a gay man and become a vocal advocate for glbtq rights. Chad Allen Lazzari and his twin sister, Charity, were born in Cerritos, California on June 5, 1974 and grew up in the neighboring city of Long Beach. Their mother entered the winsome children in twin contests, and when they had success, considered getting them into show business. Her daughter did not enjoy working before the camera, but her son was a natural and made his first professional appearance in a McDonald's commercial at the age of four. When Allen was six he won a role in the pilot episode for a television series, but the show was not picked up. Two years later he was cast as Tommy Westphall, an autistic child, on the hit drama series St. Elsewhere (1983-1986, 1988). Allen later said that his mother explained that "autistic kids lived in their own world, and I understood that." Allen's performance as Tommy Westphall was extraordinarily affecting and nuanced. It quickly established him as a child actor of unusual sensitivity and talent, one who could hold his own in a strong ensemble cast. The youthful Allen had guest roles on almost a dozen series in the 1980s and played recurring characters on Webster (1985-1986), Our House (1986-1988), and My Two Dads (1989-1990).

  • Save Me HV PK
    SAVE ME Directed by Robert Cary Story by Craig Chester and Alan Hines Screenplay by Robert Desiderio Starring Chad Allen, Robert Gant, Judith Light 96 minutes, color, 2007 First Run Features 630 Ninth Avenue, Suite 1213 New York, NY 10036 (212) 243-0600/Fax (212) 989-7649 www.firstrunfeatures.com 1 of 18 SYNOPSIS 1 Save Me is a love story about Mark, a sex and drug addicted young man who after an accidental overdose finds he’s been checked into a Christian retreat for ‘Ex-Gays’. Gayle, the director of the ministry run together with her husband Ted, believes she can help cure young men of their ‘gay affliction’ through spiritual guidance. At first, Mark resists, but soon takes the message to heart. As Mark’s fellowship with his fellow Ex-Gays grow stronger, however, he finds himself powerfully drawn to Scott, another young man battling family demons of his own. As their friendship begins to develop into romance, Mark and Scott are forced to confront the new attitudes they’ve begun to accept, and Gayle finds the values she holds as an absolute truth to be threatened. A complex and deeply sympathetic look into both sides of one of the most polarizing religious and sexual debates in America. SYNOPSIS 2 Though there is no sound scientific evidence that sexual orientation can be changed, the ex-gay movement has been at the polarizing center of religious and sexual debates in the U.S. since the 1970s. In Save Me , an exceptionally layered, intelligent and sensitive drama brought to life by director Robert Cary, Mark (Chad Allen) a self-destructive addict hooked to anonymous sex and narcotics finally hits bottom.

As I sat watching the wedding of Kevin and Scotty on Brothers & Sisters, I was moved by the grav- ity of the moment. Never before had two leading gay characters wed on a broadcast network. Watching them, I saw myself, a member of the gay community, reflected on television. Just four days after the episode aired, the Califor- nia Supreme Court handed down its decision extending marriage in the state to gay and lesbian couples. Progress is happeningI everywhere we look. As we can see in the country’s current cultural and political shift, that progress doesn’t happen in a vacuum. When lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people are portrayed in a fair, accurate and inclusive manner on televi- sion, hearts and minds are changed. The more accurately the diversity of our community is reflected, the more opportunities there are for understanding and acceptance. In addition to Kevin and Scotty’s wedding, Brothers & Sisters featured Saul, one of the rare images of a gay character over 60. Transgender characters are appearing as regular and recurring characters in honest and nuanced story arcs on Ugly Betty, Dirty Sexy Money and The L Word. Young adult shows like GREEK and South of Nowhere, as well as the daytime drama As the World Turns feature multi-dimensional gay teen characters that go to school, live their lives, date and, yes, kiss. These portrayals make all the difference in making the lives of LGBT people real to TV viewers across the country.

  • The Experience of Being Gay Bashed by Dale Chad Allen Smith a Thesis
    Making Sense of the Senseless: The Experience of Being Gay Bashed By Dale Chad Allen Smith A Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Social Work Faculty of Social Work University of Manitoba, Winnipeg, Manitoba © December, 2008 ABSTRACT Violence against gay men occurs every day. Stories can be found in newspapers, magazines, and on the World Wide Web reporting these incidences, yet there has been little research done from a qualitative perspective that explores the impact of violence on the lives of gay men. How do gay men make sense of the experience and the affects that violence perpetuated against them has on their lives? This research project examines the experiences of gay men that have been victims of various levels of violence directed at them as a result of their sexual orientation and identity as gay men. Using a qualitative approach, six gay men were interviewed and shared their experiences through personal interviews. The data collected within the interviews was then analyzed using Grounded Theory as the methodology. As there has been little research done on the impact that gay bashing has on gay men’s lives, the main objective of the research was to explore the experience of gay bashing with gay men that have been victims of such violence and gain a better understanding of the issues related to this experience. This research will add to the knowledge base around the experiences of sexual minority men and provide information for social workers, medical practitioners, law enforcement agencies, teachers and other service providers that will encounter gay men that are victims of violence.

  • In the Middle of Two Worlds Jason Stuart, an Edgy Gay Comic and Actor, Is out and Successful in Hollywood
    In the middle of two worlds Jason Stuart, an edgy gay comic and actor, is out and successful in Hollywood By DAVID ALEXANDER NAHMOD Washington Blade, APR. 10, 2008 Washington Blade In the middle of his career, Jason Stuart, an openly gay Hollywood actor and stand-up comic, finds himself on the fairly stable ground ? especially for being in show business. “I will always work,” he says. “I will always be a sought-after character actor.” Currently, he’s scored a TV special on Here! TVs video-on-demand service. His show, “Jason Stuart: Making it to the Middle,” runs through April 24 and features an hour of edgy, gay stand-up comedy. The show was filmed before a live, largely straight audience in Columbus, Ohio. “I love straight people,” Stuart says. “Two of them clean my house. One of them stole something, but I’m not saying anything.” During his set, Stuart flirts mercilessly with “Buck,” a handsome young man sitting in the front row with his girlfriend. When asked if he was afraid of any backlash from the straight couple, Stuart jokes, “Buck and I have been dating for a month.” Despite the laughter, this openness is a far cry from where the comedy industry used to be, and Stuart acknowledges the strides made by Ellen DeGeneres and Rosie O’Donnell as being essential to his own coming-out process in the entertainment world. “I remember sitting in a hotel room in St. Louis, watching Ellen on Rosie’s show,” he says. “Ellen joked about being Lebanese. ‘Some people think I’m Lebanese, too,’ said Rosie.
