Indeed, literary scholar Peter Childs includes Futurism and Vorticism in his seminal book aptly titled Modernism, placing them amongst other Modernist movements like Expressionism, Surrealism, and Dadaism (14). In one of Childs’s many definitions of Modernism, he argues that the movement is imbued with “radical aesthetics, technical experimentation, spatial or rhythmic rather than chronological form,…

the country fell into a panic. Even though Trump was regarded by some as one of “the most pro-LGBT Republican presidential nominees ever, because he expressed sympathy for the LGBTQIA community after the Orlando nightclub shooting” (Grinberg), Trump did not necessarily express much about the issues that have erupted among the community as much as his conservative advisors, who took on more of an anti-LGBT platform from the start.

In conjunction with this idea, said sexual behavior must not harm or involve an unconsenting individual. That goes for women, men, and gender-nonconforming individuals, regardless of sexual orientation.
