On Sunday, September 27, 2015 around 7:00pm, my life was changed. That Sunday, I went to a Drag Show at Rick’s Café. It was such amazing experience for me. I have never seen a drag show before, but always wanted to see one. I was really excited when I saw a posting about it in MSU Spectrum Facebook group. Also, my friend told me about it, and he really wanted to go to the show but not by himself. Of course, I was game to go to the show with him. When I walked into Rick’s Café, it seemed like…

The Stonewall Inn is a gay bar in New York City. In 1969, it had no liquor license and held refuge for gay men and transvestites against the prejudiced police and laws.

the world a service by cleansing it of gay men. However, in my opinion it is far more likely that the killer himself is gay and trying to repress those feelings and using murder as an outlet for his pent up sexual tension. Which leads to murder based on power and some crooked sense of authority. Or maybe he is just trying to hide the fact that he is gay by getting rid of his partners soon after sexual gratification. As we have discussed in class, most serial killers relate murder to sex in…

Leslie Lohman Museum of Gay and Lesbian Art The Leslie Lohman Museum of Gay and Lesbian Art is the only art museum of its kind in the world. It includes art pieces of both gay and lesbian erotica, along with other pieces relating to social movements regarding sexual orientation and gender identification.

According to the SPJ code of ethics, it states clearly, under the “minimize harm” section that a journalist must “be sensitive when seeking or using interviews or photographs of those affected by tragedy or grief.” Rogers had recently died, and he and his loved ones deserved respect and certain space for…

So far our first day of school is going pretty good. Everyone is super nice, including the teachers. When Luke and I hold hands, everyone coos at us instead of giving us death glares. We even have all the same classes, so we 're together all the time. Most people wouldn 't like that, but I never get tired of being with Luke. I think the best part of school, however, is the fact that there 's an LGBT club that Luke and I joined. "So, how did you two meet?" Our new friend Lynsey asks as we sit…

The U.S. is trying to protect the American people from the horrific incidents of the terrorist group ISIS. The world is going from bad to worse and it seems every day there is a new problem arising dealing with these…

In a country that promotes the mantra, “United we Stand”, it is actually quite easy to feel like an outsider. It seems as though WASPS control our world and all those who don’t fall into that category lack the means to change politics, society, or the economy. Throughout America’s history African Americans, Ethnics, Poor people, gay people, and women have struggled as outsiders. On the other hand, these groups have been able to gather themselves and assert their own self-image in culture as well…
