One course concept I think applies here is pathos. The photos included with the post creates a feeling of awe because they are beautifully shot and edited. Another feeling would be that of gratitude from those reading her post as they feel included and seen.

Another course concept that can apply here is social cohesion. Through the comment section, different sexualities and cultures respond to each other and respond to the photographer about LGBTQ+ inclusiveness and support in photography

This relates to my ISP because it shows just how much success and love photographers receive when they are inclusive and supportive of the LGBTQ+ community instead of discriminating against them.

One course concept I see applies is agency. The Supreme Court has the power to stop discrimination against gay couples against gay photographers. Except if they abolished these laws the change they could make with their power will be lost.

Another course concept seen is ethos. Mark Joseph Stern is some sort of celebrity because of the checkmark beside his name on twitter which makes his opinion in a sense credible to a lot of people.

This relates to my ISP because the Supreme Court is trying to help gay couples who are trying to get married that they won't be discriminated against by Christian photographers who say it is against their beliefs or gay photographers who lose clients because they are gay.

One course concept that applies to this artifact is pathos. There have been many court cases about Christian photographers refusing to photograph gay weddings, and from what I have researched most have been in favor for the gay couple. This article could create emotions of relief and happiness from Christian readers and Christian photographers as they see that not all photographers are being forced to. This can also appeal to the feeling of hate or feeling offended as gay readers see the judge isn't standing up for them.

Another course concept I think applies well is identity. The photographer identified herself as being a Christian. Because she is a Christian, she is using her rights of beliefs to not photograph the wedding. She also identifies that her job is a form of free speech which means that she won her case because it went against her first amendment rights.

I think this relates to my ISP because it shows a different ruling compared to the other case I have. This case shows a different perspective from a different judge on how he didn't think it was discrimination but rather just a use of her rights.

A course concept seen in this artifact is logos. The author talks about the many different arguements both sides present in cases. It gives the facts of the law. It also goes further by surveying people on their personal opinion on the subject as well.

Identity is clearly present as a concept in this artifact. When the survey is given, there is more support for the business when they identify themselves to a religion. There is not more support when they identifiy it as a wedding. This shows that people sympathize more with people's religions and things that go against their religion.

Another course concept present is
This relates to my ISP because a big event that is going on in the photography industry is Christian photographers not wanting to photograph gay marriages. Is this discrimination or is this a right of beliefs? This artifact explores this question.

One course concept that applies to this article is ethos. The quotes from the article are from credible sources because they all identify as queer and are all photographers in the industry. If they weren't queer or photographers, they wouldn't be credible to talk on the topic of representation of queers in the photography industry.

Another course concept that is represented in this artifact is agency. By speaking up about the lack of representation of queer photographers and photography, they are using their power of being queer and a photographer to make a change.

This relates to my ISP because it shows the reasons why representation of the Q part of the community is so necessary, and how misrepresentation and discrimination is so hurtful.

One course concept that applies to this artifact is pathos. Emotions of compassion and sympathy are appealed as many will feel sorry for the photographer for not only being discriminated against, but for the fact that the mother posted it on twitter and it got alot of retweets as well which means there had to have been at least some people supporting the woman and her decision.

Another course concept is social coehsion. When the client went online and tweeted thier text messages, she received comments and retweets from people who supported her and were together with her on her response to figuring out the photographer was gay. The photographer also tweeted about the issue which in turn gave her support from people who were on her side or who have experienced the same thing as her.

This relates to my ISP because it shows how not only photographers are discriminating against people who are gay, but clients discriminate against photographers as well.

One course concept that I see is social cohesion. Through this nonprofit organization, different cultures and countries all come together to share how they have been discriminated against as apart of the LGBTQ+ community.

Another course concept that applies is pathos. The photos described or shown appeal to many emotions including sympathy, awe, and compassion.

This shows my ISP because it describes different ways different countries that are apart of the LGBTQ+ community are discriminated against. It tells detailed stories of discrimination.

One course concept that I see in this article is pathos. The article evokes feelings of sympathy towards the teacher because she loses her job and receives hate from people in the community for just showing a picture of her wife. Other teachers show pictures of their husbands or wives, but they don't lose their jobs.

Another course concept that applies is agency. The principal comments that he didn't believe she had done anyrthing wrong. He had the power to create change having a status of authority in the school system, but he chose not to act.

This relates to my ISP because it shows an example of how LGBTQ+ photographers are discriminated against and how photos of LGTQ+ people get discriminated against.

At the start of the term at Charlotte Anderson Elementary School in Arlington, Tex., last year, Stacy Bailey, an art teacher, introduced herself to her new fourth grade students with a slide show of her life.

There were photographs of her family, friends and childhood. There was also one of her partner of seven years, Julie Vazquez, who Ms. Bailey explained was her future wife. They were dressed in fish costumes from the film "Finding Nemo."

That image set off a sequence of reactions from parents and school district officials that Ms. Bailey, 31, says amount to discrimination, according to a lawsuit filed on Tuesday in federal court in Dallas. She says her career was damaged when she was accused of showing inappropriate images to children, put on leave and told she would be transferred.

All for one main reason, the lawsuit says: "Plaintiff is lesbian/gay and was born that way."

The Mansfield Independent School District, named as a defendant in the lawsuit along with two district officials, sees it differently.

Image

Ms. Bailey was put on leave after she showed her students this photograph of her and Ms. Vazquez.

"There has never been an issue with her open sexual orientation until this year," the district said in a statement. "That's when her actions in the classroom changed, which prompted her students to voice concerns to their parents."

It said the issue was whether Ms. Bailey had followed district guidelines that require "controversial subjects be taught in 'an impartial and objective manner.' Teachers shall not use the classroom to transmit personal belief regarding political or sectarian issues."

It denied the allegations of discrimination and said the district has been an "inclusive, supportive environment for LGBT staff for decades."

Ms. Bailey has been a teacher at the elementary school since 2008, and she was voted teacher of the year twice during that time. On Tuesday, she appeared silently with Ms. Vazquez, who is now her wife, at a news conference with her lawyer, Jason Smith, to announce the legal action. She is seeking a jury trial, reinstatement at the school and possible damages.

Ms. Bailey, left, and Ms. Vazquez on vacation in Times Square in April.

Ms. Vazquez said in an interview on Thursday that since Ms. Bailey was placed on paid administrative leave in September, she has been instructed by the district not to speak about the case or attend events on school grounds.

"The isolation is extremely heartbreaking," Ms. Vazquez said. "She has really missed out."

The lawsuit says that shortly after Ms. Bailey gave the slide show presentation at the end of August, the principal told her that a parent had complained she was promoting a "homosexual agenda" in class. The principal told her he did not believe she had done anything wrong, the lawsuit says.

Ms. Bailey was told the same parent had complained after she spoke to her class about the artist Jasper Johns, and mentioned that the students had just learned in the previous term about his partner, the artist Robert Rauschenberg.

Kimberly Cantu, an assistant superintendent and one of the defendants, told Ms. Bailey that the parent had said Ms. Bailey had shown the children "sexually inappropriate" images, according to the lawsuit. It also says other parents made complaints after they were "enlisted" by the first one.

Ms. Bailey was asked to resign in October but she refused, the lawsuit says.

Some parents and community members have been supportive of the couple, Ms. Vazquez said.

Mr. Smith, the lawyer, said the case highlights a cultural divide in the district, which lies between Dallas and Fort Worth.

"Local leaders tend to be old Mansfield, while the population is tending to be more diverse," he said.

"She used age-appropriate terms," he said, describing Ms. Bailey's classroom presentation. "She never used the term 'gay' or 'lesbian.' She used the term, 'this is my future wife.' She never talked about sex or anything inappropriate."

Ms. Vazquez said she and Ms. Bailey have been together since 2011 and were married in March.

"The whole situation is just a little mind-boggling," she said. "The bottom line is that our family has a right to talk about our family just the same as any other family."

Religious freedom was once the province of religious minorities - Jews who wanted to keep business open on Sunday, Native Americans who wanted to use banned substances in religious rituals, etc. But now, after the Obergefellsame-sex marriage decision in 2015 and even after the Bostockcivil rights decision in 2020, religious groups historically in the majority are claiming the right to refuse service to LGBT Americans due to religious objections. Conservative Christian bakers, photographers, florists, calligraphers, and tax preparers have all refused service to LGBT Americans on account of their religious beliefs that same-sex marriage is sinful. Putting aside how individual service providers feel, we sought to understand how the American public thinks about service refusals: are they consistent in the application of religious freedom in all cases?

These cases are difficult ones, which clearly pit religious freedom claims against states' compelling interest to enable citizens to operate freely without discrimination. Legal approaches might look to draw lines along the type of service that is provided - artistic services are given more weight than standard products available to anyone because they require the expression of viewpoints. Coercion of that viewpoint is seen as repugnant to the First Amendment protections, especially to free speech. And in fact, this is often how these disputes are parsed during legal review. But average citizens may see this differently.

We suspected that many citizens would respond in ways that suggest the influence of disgust. Some services are provided at some physical remove (tax preparers, florists, bakers), while others, especially photographers, interact with their clients. Though the claims may be no different, as florists may exercise as much artistic liberty as photographers, the context of their interaction with gay clients may be seen as more problematic by those, such as evangelical Protestants, who have been socialized to think homosexuality is sinful.

In our forthcoming article at Social Science Quarterly, we review the results of an experiment designed to assess whether the context of claiming religious freedom shapes public support. Here's how we did it. Twenty percent of the sample was asked "Do you favor or oppose allowing a small business owner in your state to refuse to provide products or services to gay or lesbian people if doing so violates their religious beliefs?" The response scale ranged from strongly opposing the small business (=1) to strongly favoring their refusal of service (=5). Then we added a sentence providing further context for the remaining 80 percent of the sample, varying whether they read about a photographer or florist as well as whether it was for a wedding or a non-religious event.

We were particularly interested to see whether a same-sex religious event (a wedding) would generate much more support for the service provider since that is the primary basis on which these claims are made, so half heard about a wedding and half about a non-sacral event (either prom or birthday). But, if reactions are ruled by disgust, then we expect that photographers, whether or not they were taking wedding photos, would gain more support than florists since the photographer has to interact with LGBT clients whereas florists can maintain their distance.

The results come from a sample of 800 residents of Colorado surveyed in October 2019 and sponsored by the American Politics Research Lab and the Keller Center for the Study of the First Amendment at University of Colorado, Boulder. The figure below shows the results for each treatment group organized by evangelical identification. There is no variation for non-evangelicals, but there is for evangelicals. The lowest support for the service provider was given in the control condition that provided no additional context.

Importantly, evangelicals granted more support to both of the photographer treatments compared to the control condition (and, on average, the photographer received more support than the florist when both contexts are combined). Moreover, it is clear that providing a service for a wedding did NOT generate more support for refusing service. In fact, it is somewhat less, though not significantly so.

These findings suggest that the public's support for objections to serving LGBT Americans is less about religious principle and more about socialized negative reactions. But it would be ideal to have more than suggestive results. To see if the reactions are socialized, we can assess whether frequent attenders have stronger reactions than those less deeply embedded in a religious community. The following figure shows this, again separating out evangelicals from others. The results are a stark confirmation of the power of a socialized response. There is no effect of the treatments on low attending evangelicals (those attending less than once a month), whereas support for the photographer is higher than the florist among high attenders.

Why does this matter? This debate matters in courts of public opinion and also courts of law. In public, the assumption is widespread that those who refuse service are homophobes. It is more understandable and sympathetic if people justify not participating in same-sex union ceremonies because of their religion rather than their prejudice against a particular kind of person. This was the argument made by the Huguenins regarding their photography business - they served LGBT clients, just not in the context of same-sex weddings. Courts are motivated by principled decision making because it is religion that is protected, not prejudice. Martha Nussbaum made just this claim in her 2006 book: disgust is not a valid basis for Constitutional protection.

We are not arguing that disgust reactions explain all of public support for service refusals among evangelicals, nor are we making arguments about what specific claimants believe. Instead, we find strong support for the notion that evangelical Protestants are socialized to have negative feelings toward LGBT Americans that we find consistent with a disgust response; they react more strongly when a context - like the intimate interaction of photography - triggers it. They do not respond in ways that suggest a same-sex religious ritual is especially problematic. Of course, this is consistent with a long series of academic studies that find conservative Christians do not like LGBT Americans, but this is the first time variation by service providers has been documented in service refusal opinions consistent with the role of prejudice.

One course concept that is shown through the article is logos. The article tells facts of the percentages of stereotypes that are depicted in GLAAD and Getty images. Getty images are a huge part of popular culture in the sense that they are used for most advertising, are found easily all over google, and such.

Another course concept that is shown through this article is stereotypes. The statistics that are shared tell of basic stereotypes that are depicted in most photography. These stereotypes are misrepresentations of the LGBTQ+ community.

This relates to my ISP because it shows the statistics of a big company that supplies lots of photos for advertising and on google. This big company is misrepresenting the LGBTQ+ community by presenting multiple stereotypes in their photos.

One course concept that applies to this article is logos. The article is mostly focused on the court case and the judge's ruling of it. It tells of the thought processes that the judge had and the logic he used to come to the conclusion.

Another concept I can see relating to both the offender and defender, in this case, is identity. The photographer is refusing to photograph this wedding because she identifies herself as a Christian. She uses her identity in this religion to say that she has the right to refuse to photograph this couple because it goes against her beliefs. The couple is being discriminated against because of what they identify themself as which is gay.

This article relates to my ISP because it shows an example of how different sexual orientations are being discriminated against in photography. A photographer is refusing to photograph a gay couple's wedding because they are gay, and this is against her beliefs. This article shows that discrimination in photography is a real problem.

Bad representation of LGBTQ+ in photography 

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
- Getty Images research reveals that only 21% of people globally see LGBTQ+ people represented regularly, and when they do, the representations remain narrow and stereotypical. - Getty Images research shows that LGBTQ+ people in countries with less LGBTQ+ representation state greater experience with LGBTQ+ discrimination. - GLAAD and Getty Images launch LGBTQ+ Guidebook to support brands and businesses as they endeavor to be more inclusive in their visual choices.
New York - June 2, 2021: Getty Images, a world leader in visual communications, in partnership with , the LGBTQ+ media advocacy organization, today announced the latest initiative in their exclusive partnership that aims to increase visibility while also challenging harmful, cliched visual stereotypes of the LGBTQ+ community. The new guidance is a direct response to recent research from Getty Images demonstrating that overall LGBTQ+ visual representation remains low and stereotypical.

"While we know that increased representation positively impacts increased acceptance, our research has also shown that LGBTQ+ individuals remain grossly underrepresented in media," said Tristen Norman, Head of Creative Insights for the Americas at Getty Images and iStock. "And even when this community is represented, businesses and media rely too heavily upon stereotypical, inauthentic imagery."

Getty Images' 2021 survey found that only one-fifth of global Visual GPS respondents stated seeing LGBTQ+ people represented regularly or frequently in visuals, and said that when they do, it is often narrow and stereotypical. In the U.S., that number is somewhat higher, sitting at one-fourth. Global respondents stated that:

- 30% of such visuals depict gay men as 'feminine'

- 29% of such visuals depict LGBTQ+ people carrying the rainbow flag in some capacity

- 29% of such visuals depict lesbian women as 'masculine'

- 28% of such visuals depict gay men as 'flamboyant'

That reliance has left some advertisers feeling hesitant when it comes to proactively depicting the LGBTQ+ community in their campaigns and communications, especially outside of Pride month. Earlier this month, GLAAD and Procter & Gamble launched "The Visibility Project," a new GLAAD program dedicated to growing the quality, quantity, and diversity of LGBTQ images in advertising. P&G and GLAAD also announced findings from a recent study of marketing and advertising executives in which nearly 81% of advertisers agreed that an "inauthentic execution of LGBTQ people would lead to a larger backlash than not including them at all" and nearly 80% of advertisers agreed that it is "difficult to adequately represent the LGBTQ community because the community is complicated and has many nuances."

"The guidance we've created with Getty Images seeks to give brands and businesses of all sizes the confidence they need to depict the LGBTQ+ community in inclusive, authentic and thoughtful ways, without fear of backlash or fear of 'getting it wrong'," said Nick Adams, Director of Transgender Representation at GLAAD. "Instead of shying away from depictions or relying on stereotypes, we've created guidance on how to authentically represent the LGBTQ+ community in ways that will create lasting connections. Increasing representation of LGBTQ+ people in your communications demonstrates your intentional emphasis around diversity and makes a public commitment of your support for this community."

"Furthermore, our research suggests that LGBTQ+ people in countries with less LGBTQ+ representation in the visuals that surround them, including media and advertising, actually report experiencing more anti-LGBTQ discrimination and bias - for example, in Germany, where representation is lower, discrimination is higher, as opposed to in the U.S. Which is to say that authentic imagery which accurately and positively captures the nuances of this diverse community is not only needed, but can have a positive impact globally," Norman said.

In fact, two-thirds of U.S. Visual GPS respondents stated that it's important to them that the companies they buy from celebrate diversity of all kinds. "To create real change for LGBTQ+ representation, we need the advertising and media industry to act. Creatives and marketing professionals have the opportunity to not just encourage the creation of this kind of imagery, but also to choose to use it," Norman said.

Launching today, the LGBTQ+ Guidebook for Inclusive Visual Storytelling gives brands and businesses practical recommendations for confidently making more inclusive visual choices when depicting the broader LGBTQ+ community. Created as part of an ongoing collaboration with GLAAD, this guidance follows the December 2020 release of the Getty Images and GLAAD Transgender Guidelines which were designed to support Getty Images and iStock photographers and videographers in their efforts to better represent the diversity of the transgender community, addressing terminology, clichés to avoid, and how to create a safe and welcoming set.
