On the surface, the Litchfield Prison system is extremely dysfunctional, does not provide any structure or regimen for the inmates to follow, and does not serve any purpose in reshaping the inmates, much like any other prison system. From the illegal trafficking of contraband, to the unlawful rape that occurs between the inmates and guards, to the disheartening stereotypical slurs constantly heard throughout the prison, Litchfield Penitentiary does not seem like a place for bettering one’s self…

However despite making up almost half of the sexual minority, they are overlooked by the predominant monosexual population who deny the existence of bisexuality.

“Fear of a Queer Planet,” states his belief that the identification as “queer” is a political act of rebellion against normalcy and heteronormativity, that the preference of “queer” over “gay” or “lesbian” is a result of rejecting minoritization and assimilation that would occur under the gay and lesbian cultures.

Many argue that children need homes regardless on the sexuality of the parents.Gay and lesbian parents are raising four percent of all adopted children in the United States.

In “A Spectacle in Color,” those who were queer identified or had “homosexual/lesbian” tendencies either recognized it or didn’t, as “nearly all these women adopted a heterosexual public persona, most favoring a “red hot mama” style, and kept their love affairs with women a secret, but a few acknowledged their sexuality openly…
