Student Voices. Queer Experiences.
From the beginning of the program to the end of the two-week San Francisco immersion, student programmers touched on their experiences through ruminative blog posts and informal, in-the-moment, unedited video reflections. They highlighted their experiences traveling to San Francisco, exploring the Castro District, and even losing themselves in a larger, brighter Queer community to shape and re-shape who they are.
Experiences
During World War II, a lot of queer people were dishonorably discharged from the military as soon as the bodies were unneeded.
Well Needed History Lessons
It is a privilege to be straight. This privilege is often taken for granted mainly because it takes up a vast majority of people and it cannot be seen.
Societal Dynamics
I grew up white-trailer-trash, we were poor, and our seven family members lived in a two-bedroom, single bath trailer 10’ wide by 55’ long.
Expectations
I am excited to attend the pride festival in San Francisco due to the politics that occur surrounding it.
Expectations of my Third Frameline Film Festival
I have been privileged to attend the Frameline Film Festival in San Francisco the past two summers, each with a somewhat distinct personality.
The Reason for the Season
I am tired. I am EXHAUSTED of listening to people use the excuse of convenience to justify their bullshit homonormativity.
Ageism in the Gay Community
As what I would consider a young man in the queer community (23), I have seen far too much ageism in the short period of time I have been out of the closet.
Scattered Thoughts
It’s officially Pride month! YAY! San Francisco is about two weeks away and I’m getting very excited.
