That worked a lot better on paper than in practice.

First of all, the storyteller is always automatically in the masculine/dominant role with the object of the gaze in the feminine role, therefore we kind of read that it's a man looking at a man - perhaps this would have worked with two women (but then the actual point wouldn't get across because porn). There was no subversion of film language here, so there was nothing set up to "trick" the viewer. Film theory 101 fail, essentially.

Also, the camera was physically in the shoes of a male. No attempt was made to make the camera "behave" like a woman. If the camera had been a few inches lower, it would have had a bit of an impact. The Prodigy's Smack My Bitch Up video is WAY more effective in this way.

can't speak for whoever made that but i'm sure if they were trying to trick you they would have thrown in some macho stock scenes, of which there were none. because you know, a) gay people don't have to entertain you and b) they don't have to pretend they're exactly like straight people.

That critique earlier was in terms of film language, not things happening in the film. I don't really know what you mean by "macho stock scenes" and how that would relate to tricking you. I'm not sure where I claimed that gay people should be entertaining and pretend they're exactly like straight people. Also,

I think it's more about feeling for the couple, trying to put you in their place, than actually trying to trick you. There is no trick when you show how loving and normal a gay couple is
I think it's a great video, since most things I've seen advocating gay rights are usually dead serious and playing the backed-off victim card. This is open.

But in terms of film language, it's off. Since I finished uni I automatically do this with everything I watch and it's ruined so many films for me - not necessarily because they're bad, but I'm so preoccupied with what's the camera's doing that I don't soak up the plot. Fucking Laura Mulvey.

Hula

12-09-2011, 02:13 PM

Ickle, I agree. It definitely seems like the aim of the video is to show you a normal day in someone's life only to 'shock' you with the revelation that this person is afflicted with ~teh gay~ and yet perfectly capable of being a normal person just like the straight population. They wouldn't have given such an ambiguous camera angle if that hadn't been their intention.

I felt the same way you do about the perspective when I first saw it; it was literally the first thought that popped into my head and I left it feeling as though it would've had more impact if more effort had been made to create a faux-female perspective. I did initially think it would've worked better if it had been two women until I remembered that it's okay for two women to be in love because, as you say, porn.

The way it happened was awful too, he'd been cheating on me for weeks since he moved to Manchester, there are even times he told me he was going out with his flat mate, then came back and told me what an amazing time he had and it was actually with this new guy. And he also persistently called me crazy and dramatic and demanding for ever showing doubts or worries when we'd spend days without ever really speaking. Guess it hasn't been good for a while so it's for the best. Think I'm moving to Liverpool next year too, so it should be a nice new start.

Gotta say I'm with Dominik, it's hard for people to accept homosexuality when they have to throw them out of a venue for having orgies in a shower. I don't get the whole gay 'culture' and I very much don't want to. Seems a bit silly to be wholly defined by what you like in the sack.

Yes well it's hard to accept people with twin strollers taking up the footpath pregnant woman taking up the seats on public transport tax breaks for families who are contributing to killing this planet through overpopulation etc etc etc.

I would quite like to frame this.

Also it's sad to hear that wherever isak is people get thrown out for having sex in showers? Here there are strings of venues set up with areas for you to have orgies in showers, saunas, and on dancefloors - and that goes for heteros as well as gays.

isak

01-23-2012, 12:40 PM

The only thing that upsets me is that as a gay person, naturally because it's still kinda a big deal, that is my identifier. So then people are massively shocked when I don't like Britney and spend my time taking a load of drugs and having orgies, it's kinda sad that that's what being 'gay' is (at least where I live). I don't even get why gay people are so intent on showing how massively different and special they are to everyone by having big parades where they march in leather jockstraps and things, with clear intent to offend and shock people, then demand to be accepted? They demonise themselves. I'd love it if I lived somewhere where sexuality wasn't so black and white, and people weren't so scared of exploring sexuality without the repercussions of being solely identified with this whole gay culture thing. Gays seem to want people to be more liberal with their ideas of gender and sexuality, get box themselves into this horrible little stereotype and become carbon copies of each other. Fair enough if you want to spend your weekends at gay bars and go to Britney concerts and do what every single other gay does, but it's hard for the gay people who actually have their OWN personality to be accepted as normal members of society with the way a lot of gays go on. You're point about gay people being 'different' from everyone else seems a little ignorant. I like to view sexuality as just different tastes, which seems like a suitable way for it to become more accepted, and to say someone who is strictly gay is different, is like saying someone who doesn't like chocolate is different.

There will always be the part of the LGBT community that thinks the 'flamers' deserve to be harassed for 'making a show of themselves'; likewise there will always be those who criticise people for not being gay enough, for not speaking out and ~embracing their true colours~.

I have to remind myself sometimes that just because we're a community of outcasts, it doesn't mean our perspectives on life are all going to match up... All too often we attack each other so viciously it's hard to tell which side is which.

Kinda missing the point there. To say that gay people inherently have different traits and tastes in things seemed ignorant to me. The only real distinguishable difference is what we like in bed, to me that seems like a shallow thing to identify yourself with. I'd rather people identify me with what I have to say, or the music and art I like, whereas most embrace some stereotype of being obnoxious, shallow, loud and orange. I don't feel particularly 'different' from my straight male friends, we like the same music, do the same things, and just because in my private life in my own time I prefer to see men, I refuse to let that be what identifies me and differentiates me from the rest of the world.

Um, sexual difference is a massive philosophical scheme of thought that was the starting point for queer theory in the mid-20th century. Lutz's "acceptance is difference" immediately reminded me of that, as did Hula (http://books.google.co.uk/books/about/Sexual_difference.html?id=VDJ9zmTddw4C&redir_esc=y) and isak (http://www.artslant.com/la/articles/show/20415)'s ideas that "gay" doesn't just mean "not straight". Don't get butthurt because I shouted at you.

(I understand you were trying to say something different though, isak, just thought it was an interesting point for thought. Difference doesn't mean different as in not X, Difference means difference as in "there is no X - every thing is different to everything else". So gay is not "not straight" - gays aren't one thing, but they are examples of difference. They are examples of how sexual orientation is a plethora of things and not just dicks or pussies. Acceptance is difference because if you embrace all the differents you lose prejudice)

I can't pretend I fully understand these philosophical ideas behind difference, and gender and identity and so forth, I spend most my time with maths and computer science, but could you clarify something for me? I think (correct me if I'm wrong) is that you were saying it's wrong to associate any kind of sexuality with a single identity, and create kind of binary opposites between 'gay' and 'straight' and accept all, to loose prejudice. I can't help but feel, that maybe the typical gay lifestyle shouldn't necessarily be accepted or condoned by anyone. Just like when I see women who adhere to typical feminine identities that they've kinda been conditioned with, who do nothing but talk about boys and wear dresses and feel like they should be subordinate in some way, or the opposite with men, I feel the identity gay people often assume is similar. When I was young, I felt more acceptance for a while, hanging around with gay friends and doing gay things, even though it wasn't exactly what I enjoyed, but I felt I didn't feel like I fit in or feel accepted with any other identity other than to be gay. I became a little more self aware after a long relationship with a real person who I could be myself around, but should they not have been there I'm frightened I would be much different today. I guess while I accept what's become a typically gay lifestyle, I feel like it shouldn't be something that people are limited to. I am quite a feminine person, I wear girls jeans sometimes, like quite a lot of female artists and have a strange obsession with strong female protagonists in books and films and so forth, I'm in no way saying I'm some super masculine butch guy that likes sport and hates fags, I just think gay people typically identify themselves in wholly unhealthy ways, and that they should at least try to disassociate themselves with it and find ways to express themselves in more meaningful ways. To reinforce my point while I accept all identities, I feel that some that people may feel inclined to associate with, whether it be down to the media or social conditioning or whatever, unhealthy ones, that I feel should be discouraged.

What's unhealthy about enjoying sex (whether as a group or in a conventional one-on-one setting), though? Similarly: what's unhealthy about being the muscular, tanned guy at Pride who wears a leather thong and fairy wings? The biggest problem people (gay people, quite often) seem to have with the stereotypical types of gay men is that they're making a show of themselves by being effeminate and girly and blah blah blah. So WHAT if they're making a show of themselves? True, they can probably be a bit annoying at times but you get people like that across the board, regardless of gender or orientation.

The whole reason the queer community at large is so bright and loud and colourful is that it's been oppressed for so damn long and, believe it or not, this is something these people want to celebrate. Being a big old queen who speaks in a high-pitched voice is no different, really, than belonging to a subculture in fashion; likewise taking part in things like orgies or group sex or having multiple partners or whatever else is perceived as 'dirty' when gay men do it is no different, really, than being a straight person who indulges in consensual fetishes.

What's unhealthy about enjoying sex (whether as a group or in a conventional one-on-one setting), though? Nothing, I personally prefer intimate relationships with a persons company who I enjoy, but I feel typical gay attitudes towards sex are a little unhealthy, does anyone really enjoy meaningless sex with people you don't find interesting and are literally just find kinda hot? There is also an obvious issue with AIDS and STI's in the gay community, and being promiscuous in the gay community is usually a badge of honour. I personally don't think that leads to a very satisfying wholesome life, and if you are someone who can practise these things comfortably in your own privacy, safely and comfortably then that's great, but it's often not the case.

The whole reason the queer community at large is so bright and loud and colourful is that it's been oppressed for so damn long and, believe it or not, this is something these people want to celebrate. I understand that initially this culture arisen after being suppressed so long, maybe if someone banned ice cream I'd feel the need to march in streets smeared in it and throwing it in peoples faces, but people are starting to understand and accept it a little more, for homosexuality to literally not be a big deal with anyone, we need to acknowledge it's not a big deal, and not feel the urges to shout it out from rooftops and tell everyone, no one cares any more, it's normal and healthy, people are starting to accept that, can't we move on?

Hula

01-23-2012, 03:52 PM

People are starting to understand and accept it. We're far from the point where it's safe to be gay and until it stops being something that people get bullied for in day-to-day life without anyone really batting an eyelid (and yes, this does happen—I see it all the time and even when you catch that 'dude, not cool' look on people's faces it's rare for them to speak out), I don't think queer activists are going to get any less, well, queer. I suppose you could argue here that society would be quicker to accept gay people if they didn't rub it in everybody's dern faces!, but that's moot.

You have lead a sheltered life, my child.[/COLOR]
I speak from experience! I find one night stands kinda crappy usually, tend to be while you're drunk which never really makes it great, and I think it's just nicer when you have some kind of bond with someone. Also, I hate how homos tend to be diseased, I get with a few guys as a rebound thing after my long term boyfriend and I'm having STI scares again, and I'm always protected for the dirty work! The oral is my downfall.

Straight men wear leather thongs and have group sex too, you know.
Never said I was against men in thongs. Leather is gross though.

Women and gays traditionally have either had no rights or been executed.

To try and intimate that there is some kind of bases for comparison or reverse discrimination here by peoples differing OPINIONS is - to put it mildly - extremely offensive.

Elke

05-23-2012, 10:25 AM

As someone who identifies as queer, and has relationships with both men and women, I can vouch for the fact that the gay community isn't a very friendly face when you're trying to escape the heteronormative matrix of society.
In fact, I personally always felt glbt groups and parades were not meant for me, and I've certainly never been made to feel welcome there. And I think it's something the community itself is extremely guilty of: boxing people in. Ironically enough, I should add. The whole fem/butch discussion, for instance, which is still alive and well in so many local communities as well as on the net, is a perfect example of this. And I'm not downplaying the plight of (gender) queer people in countries where the death penality still looms for loving differently, but that doesn't mean that the worries and problems of the slightly more priviliged should be disregarded, or that their justified frustrations with a community that should welcome and shelter them but in effect offers them only an incentive to act straight, should be met with derision. After all, limbo is only a couple of degrees less scorching then hell itself.
[/aimless rant]

Lutz

05-23-2012, 04:44 PM

What I was trying to get at was that people are entitled to their opinion and they can disagree and dislike people all they want but they don't have a right to stop other people living how they want.

Personally I think the problem with fluid sexuality has it's root in the nature vs nurture debate. I think it's a fundamentally christian debate used solely for the purpose to make people think that GOD has some hand in homosexuality. (And as hypocritical as it may sound after my initial lead in) People should probably just come to the conclusion that the Bible is wrong and GOD doesn't exist. Sex is not perverse and it doesn't matter if someone is born this way or if they made a decision.

But Elke also on a personal level I think what you're talking about just applies to everyone weather they are queer or not.

And also the original article you posted really does need to come to the conclusion they are a normal person and they don't actually face any hardship above and beyond a heterosexual.

Elke

05-24-2012, 02:06 AM

I'm a bit confused. Are you saying that the concept of fluid sexuality was developped by christians to disregard the notion of genetic or innate or essential or fixed sexuality? Because that's how I understood what you wrote, but I'm guessing I'm wrong.

Also: I didn't post anything, it was orestes. I was just happy that FINALLY something portrays my experience. All those shows that get cheered on by AfterElton/Ellen, Queerty, The Advocate...? I'm NEVER in them. So I was just happy to see myself, not as an excuse for various kinds of phobias or a vehicle to express prejudice, but as I've experienced my sexuality: not as something I identify with at all.
That said: you really think that there are 'normal' people?

Lutz

05-24-2012, 08:28 AM

I meant it specifically in regards to the problems people with fluid sexuality face in being understood.

And personally I think everyone is basically the same.

Elke

05-24-2012, 02:23 PM

You might want to look at your last line again, then, because what you think doesn't show in your sentences.

Also, but that's a completely personal note: I was just discussing this with a fellow catholic religion teacher , and we agreed that in general christians are the easiest to convince to treat people who they consider to be abnormal with respect and kindness, because you can resort to 'What Would Jesus Do?' And even muslims accept the idea that only God judges, and we should act with compassion and not judge in God's stead.
It's the non-religious that are most stubbornly homophobic, in my experience. The kids AND the parents.

Elke, might I suggest this (http://amzn.com/0807044431) book. I just started reading it but it's really fascinating.

Thanks for the tip. A friend of mine passed me an essay by Blank on the development of the homosexuality as an identity in the 19th century, and I thought that was very fascinating, so I'll definitely check this out.

Lutz, what I referred to was:

And also the original article you posted really does need to come to the conclusion they are a normal person and they don't actually face any hardship above and beyond a heterosexual.

And personally I think everyone is basically the same.

You don't think everyone is basically the same, because there are normal people which means there are also abnormal people, and apparently genderfluid people - unlike, I'm going to guess, self-identified lgbt people - are normal people. And because, or so you seem to imply, it's inherent to abnormal people that they face more hardship than normal people, it follows naturally that self-identified lgbt people inherently face more hardship than genderfluid people.
It's simple logic: you do not think everyone is basically the same, you actually think that groups of people are inherently different, and that there difference in identification means there's an automatic weight attached to what they percieve as hardship.
There's a word for that.

I'm sorry, I know I'm being prissy and nitpicky about this, but I hate when people start measuring and weighing suffering. I've been told for as long as I've know people who didn't self-idenitify as straight that I HAD to use a label for myself, that I was a coward or a glutton or an attention whore and that my feelings weren't genuine if I wouldn't identify myself as straight or gay, or in extremely tolerant cases even bi. My refusal to do so, because I've always quite sincerely felt sexual orientation is much like picking your favorite flavour in ice cream (I'll always be drawn to fruit sorbet, and you'll never catch me eating bubblegum flavoured ice cream) and definitely not an identity, has put me squarely on the fringes of both the 'straight' world and the lgbt community. It's always been endless discussions, and the feeling of not belonging. I don't even belong amongst the very people who themselves united in order to form a sense of belonging. That does suck, and it is quite an exquisite form of torture to be outcast by the outcasts. Which I think is a feeling very few self-identified heterosexuals experience because of their sexual orientation.

So I'm just extremely sensitive about this.

I got sick of going to gay bars here because there would inevitably be straight couples there gagging on each other's tongues. I know queer people hook up in gay bars, it happens all the time. But I'd like to think we're a tiny bit more...polite about it (there are bathrooms and smoking areas for a reason). Plus you have your own bars, assholes.

this feels almost like a loaded question, but it really shouldn't be.

what i'd like to know is if any fellow ets gays identify with a gay subculture. guys -- do you consider yourself a twink? a bear? a cub? an otter? a wolf?

i'm sure there's more labels (hate that word, but it's just what it is), but those are all i know.

me? i'm a cub, soon to be a bear as i near my 40's and continue this pattern of gaining, not losing, year after year. i, personally, LOVE being a part of the bear community.

and the women -- butch, femme, lipstick, etc?

a silly question overall, yes, but i'm well intended in my curiosity. i love the different and distinct sub-communities, especially when we all come together at pride events and the like.
