  • We'll Have a Gay Ol'time: Trangressive Sexulaity and Sexual Taboo In
    We’ll have a gay ol’ time: transgressive sexuality and sexual taboo in adult television animation By Adam de Beer Thesis Presented for the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in Film Studies in the Faculty of Humanities and the Centre for Film and Media Studies UNIVERSITY OF CAPE TOWN UniversityFebruary of 2014Cape Town Supervisor: Associate Professor Martin P. Botha The copyright of this thesis vests in the author. No quotation from it or information derived from it is to be published without full acknowledgement of the source. The thesis is to be used for private study or non- commercial research purposes only. Published by the University of Cape Town (UCT) in terms of the non-exclusive license granted to UCT by the author. University of Cape Town Declaration I declare that this thesis is my own unaided work. It is submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of Cape Town. It has not been submitted before for any other degree or examination at any other university. Adam de Beer February 2014 ii Abstract This thesis develops an understanding of animation as transgression based on the work of Christopher Jenks. The research focuses on adult animation, specifically North American primetime television series, as manifestations of a social need to violate and thereby interrogate aspects of contemporary hetero-normative conformity in terms of identity and representation. A thematic analysis of four animated television series, namely Family Guy, Queer Duck, Drawn Together, and Rick & Steve, focuses on the texts themselves and various metatexts that surround these series. The analysis focuses specifically on expressions and manifestations of gay sexuality and sexual taboos and how these are articulated within the animated diegesis.

  • Creating Inclusive Workplaces for LGBT Employees in India
    "In a time when India is seeing a lot of positive changes that will shape the future of its LGBTQ citizens, Community Business has come out with a splendid guide which is not only comprehensive, but also deals with issues that are very specific to India in a well researched manner. Today, in 2012, it is very essential for corporates based in India to come out of the illusion that they have no LGBTQ employees on board, and create a positive environment for them to come out in. I definitely suggest every Corporate HR, Talent Acquisition, and D&I team should read the 'Creating Inclusive Workplaces for LGBT Employees in India' resource guide while shaping policies that help create a more inclusive and supportive work environment for all.” Tushar M, Operations Head (India) Equal India Alliance For more information on Equal India Alliance go to: www.equalindiaalliance.org Creating Inclusive “The business case for LGBT inclusion in India is real and gaining momentum. India plays an increasingly vital role in our global economy. Creating safe and equal workplaces is essential for both its LGBT employees and India’s continued Workplaces for economic success. Community Business’ LGBT Resource Guide for India provides an invaluable tool for businesses in India to stay competitive on the global stage – and be leaders for positive change there.” LGBT Employees Selisse Berry, Founding Executive Director Out & Equal Workplace Advocates For more information on Out & Equal Workplace Advocates go to: www.OutandEqual.org in India “Stonewall has been working for gay people’s equality since 1989.

    International Journal of Social Science and Economic Research ISSN: 2455-8834 Volume: 05, Issue: 05 "May 2020" MARKET TRENDS AND TREPIDATIONS: A STUDY ON RAINBOW CAPITALISM IN INDIA Anahita Kapoor Pathways School Gurgaon, Haryana DOI: 10.46609/IJSSER.2020.v05i05.018 URL:https://doi.org/10.46609/IJSSER.2020.v05i05.018 ABSTRACT It is an encouraging development that the LGBTQ community has seen an increase in their rights and made progress towards equal treatment. Along with this development, they have seen an increase in purchasing power and participation in the economic and social system. Rainbow capitalism emerged as a method of integrating the community into the market economy, when corporations realized that it is profitable to be inclusive in marketing and advertising, creating a whole host of new avenues for expansion. Activists in India and across the world have expressed concern that rainbow capitalism has increased visibility, but the profit motive does not contribute to an increase in rights or awareness of structural, institutional and socio economic issues that the community continues to face especially in a developing country like India. This paper will examine the emergence of rainbow capitalism in India, especially in light of the decriminalization of Section 377, and highlight the critiques by activists and possible counter- actions. The paper will conclude with an emphasis on the sociological effects and drawbacks of rainbow capitalism in the Indian context. Keywords: Rainbow capitalism, LGBTQ community, LGBT in India, Basic rights INTRODUCTION Rainbow capitalism is the incorporation of the LGBT movement and sexual diversity to capitalism and the market economy, viewed especially in a critical lens as this incorporation pertains to the LGBT, Western, white, and affluent, upper middle class communities and market (Exall, 2015).
