So I’ve been ridiculously busy, busy, busy this past week on some writing projects. I’ll be able to share some exciting info with you all soon (!!!!). One of the things I was working on (which you should definitely check out) was Bitch Flicks‘ LGBTQI Week. Here are just a few of the insightful and articulate posts exploring positive and problematic depictions of gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, queer and sexually fluid characters and themes in film and TV:
- ‘The Kids Are All Right’: Male-Centrism and Misogynistic Language Taint the Lesbian Dramedy by Megan Kearns (that’s moi!)
- “All the Pieces Matter:” Queer Characters of Color on ‘The Wire’ by Megan Kearns (yours truly)
