LGBTQ Representation in the Media

SassyLeo · 03-08-2010, 02:03 PM

Several years ago, I saw this movie at a GLBTQ film festival in WA. I was moved, so moved...well, pretty much crying the entire time

Inlaws & Outlaws<<<Website

The trailer isn't that great...
[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FXeNyoqTLW0"]YouTube- Inlaws & Outlaws Preview[/ame]

2 of the older couples, one gay, one lesbian- told of their stories of YEARS of being closeted and then living as a couple for more than 50 years. It was beautiful to hear and watch the depth of their love for their partner(s) and how much they had weathered over the years. One of the men died last year. He might have made me cry the most

I wish movies like this were played on primetime TV so people could see we are and live just like everyone else.

I work in the media, and want to encourage any and all who feel that there is a lack of media coverage on issues of importance, to look into Public radio, and Public TV stations in your area. Most stations have in their Mission statements that they exist to help the undeserved communities have a voice. You can get trained in both facets, and become a part of the media.This gives you the opportunity to represent in ways that give meaning and power to you, your organizations and viewpoints. And it's fun. Just saying.........
