Your paper should compare two different works of popular culture (this may include films, television programs, music, fiction, comic books, etcetera) that focus primarily of LGBT life. Please note that you may not use a work that has been extensively discussed in class. If you’re not sure, ask! In order to develop a manageable thesis statement, you might then wish to ask yourself one or more of the following questions:
What specific aspect of LGBT culture does the work focus on? How is this culture represented?
Is this representation largely accurate? Largely distorted? Perhaps a bit of both? Why?
Is LGBT life depicted in a positive or negative way?
What are the larger implications of this portrayal?
