To produce queer media is to produce media that features people in the queer community. This could include but not limited to lesbian, gay, bisexual, or even transgender people and or couples. For example on social media, Dance Moms star JoJo Siwa has begun posting more about the LGBTQ community…even being on Dancing with the Stars with a same sex couple(the first time it has happened). In addition, channels such as Netflix and Bravo have continued to grow and branch into the LGBTQ community, giving more diversity and bringing attention to the community. These media influencers give others a chance to feel comfortable and bring awareness to the community.

I think that it means to produce media that challenges traditional gender identity or heterosexual relationship stereotypes through representation of the LGBTQ+ community.

The text mentioned the concept of "explicitly queer representations with identifiable queer bodies, characters and 'acts.' " and how queer lenses and identities can exist in the consumption of all forms of media. This made me think of certain "queer representations" are not explicit such the many times articles have claimed Disney has their first gay character , again. Or when after all the original books and movies had been released JK Rowling made the claim that Dumbledore was gay. Even when given the chance to expand on this new identity in the Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them movie series this supposed piece of Dumbledore's life was left unexplored. Clearly, there seems to be certain groups who understand the importance of appealing to a queer audience, but ultimately fear the possible backlash from a "traditional" straight audience.

Disney's history with queer representation on-screen is, diplomatically, dicey at best. The company's slow arc toward introducing + characters in major roles and tentpole films has laid the groundwork for eventual substance, but here and now, they're mostly half steps-half steps that, more often than not, are more embarrassing than they are meaningfully progressive.

Disney is by no means the only company that comes off looking bad during Pride every June-there's a reason " Rainbow Capitalism " has become a snarkily accurate read on major brands rainbow-coating their social media profiles and calling it a job well done for the month. But Disney looks particularly egregious celebrating because, well, all year 'round it otherwise does the barest of minimums to incorporate LGBTQIA+ stories and characters in its biggest material, leaving them on the cutting room floor or slight enough to be edited out of movies to better appeal to bigoted markets that Disney would otherwise love to see some money out of. And so, this Pride, here's seven of the queer characters the House of Mouse has somehow managed to herald as major "Firsts" for the studio-ranked by just how embarrassingly minor steps they actually were for one of the biggest entertainment corporations in the world.

There are many heterosexual and cisgendered actors and performers who have become beloved by the queer community due to the outpouring of support as allies. Daniel Radcliffe, Antonio Banderas, Kathy Griffin, Beyonce, and Taylor Swift are just a few.

If the TBS series Miracle Workers isn't already on your must-watch series, a dance number featuring Daniel Radcliffe in hot pants and chaps might just be the push you need to add it to your viewing lineup.

The series, which is about two angels (Radcliffe and Geraldine Viswanathan) tasked with convincing their boss (Steve Buscemi) to not end the world. Now in its third season, the angels and God are on the Oregon Trail, for... reasons. Naturally, this leads to Radcliffe's character, Ezekiel, drinking snake oil and doing the fiercest drag rendition of "She'll Be Coming Round The Mountain" this side of the Rockies.

According to co-showrunners Daniel Mirk and Robert Padnick, getting Radcliffe to do the number "took no convincing at all," they told Entertainment Weekly. "Daniel was excited about the idea of the dance sequence as soon as we pitched it to him. He developed the dance with a choreographer and practiced it extensively on his own time, and obviously, his hard work paid off because the routine is amazing."

"We knew we wanted Ezekiel to do a crazy vogue dance to a club remix of 'She'll Be Coming Round the Mountain' and the look developed from there, with lots of help from our fantastic costume designer Christina Mongini and makeup artist Brigette Hennech," they said. "There was a lot of attention paid to the sequined hot pants in particular, and I think you will agree we nailed it."

Radcliffe is an outspoken ally for the LGBTQ+ community whose activism earned him the Trevor Project's Hero Award. He's also been outspoken about his support of trans women following Harry Potter author J. K. Rowling revealing herself to be an anti-trans bigot. "Transgender women are women," he wrote. "Any statement to the contrary erases the identity and dignity of transgender people and goes against all advice given by professional health care associations who have far more expertise on this subject matter than either Jo (Rowling) or I."

Consuming media queerly is making your own interpretation on something from a queer perspective. I think this person used a great example of this. In Swift's song Betty, she's talking about a girl named Betty from a guy perspective. Many would view this as Taylor talking about how she feels about another girl from her own perspective. It's why she has so many queer fans. They find a way to have it relate to them even if it is a straight women singing these songs.

Queer consumption focuses on how viewers take in queer content in media. It means watching something with a queer lens and deciphering if LGBTQ people are being represented properly. Just because media includes LGBTQ people does not necessarily mean they are being represented in a respected manner. Queer consumption allows viewers to watch media and decide if they are being represented correctly.

To consume media queerly means that the consumers are examining  media through a queer lens. The consumer could identify with the queer community or just be interpreting what media they are taking in as having queer attributes whether they are shopping for clothes, watching TV shows, or other forms of expressing one's identity.

Producing queer media is promoting queer culture by portraying representations of one or more people in the queer community. This representation is very important because people who are part of the LGBTQ+ community should be able to have people to connect with through media.

Queer production is media that challenges traditional norms. For example, they could include different characters that are a part of the LGBTQ+ community. Personally, I am most familiar with the television show Modern Family which doubles as an example of queer production.

production that is inclusive of queer categories or challenging the traditional heterosexual media. examples include the LGBTQ+ representation in media not just as a perspective but as an identity.

The text touched on the concept of a "latchkey queer" style of media consumption. Which like the traditionally concept of a latchkey kid with no boundaries for their consumption is granted the freedom for great exploration in media.  I found this quote from the text was able to establish this point in a really interesting and satisfying way. "Like latchkey kids who had to fend for themselves and fight for their sustenance, these queer artists reheated what was processed and packaged and turned it into something nourishing." As this concept of latchkey consumption is really new to me I don't currently have any good examples, but I would like to be able to apply this lens to examples I find in the future.

Queer consumption means going into a media source with an open mind and through a “queer-lens”. This does not mean that one needs to be queer themselves, but rather be open to shifting perception to one of a queer connection. This means ensuring that ones own perception of that media form is equal to that of any other media form. They must be willing to see through a new lens, or the point and purpose of the production is not met.

I think consumption of queer media involves consuming media without expectations or preconceived biases. A willingness to embrace anti-normative storylines and ideologies is an essential part of consuming media queerly.

Queer consumption is the act of viewing media in any form through some sort of "queer lens". This means looking at media for how the LGBTQ+ community is or isn't represented and how they are represented. It helps us to look critically at media and make sure people of different gender expressions and sexual orientations are being represented fairly and accurately.

Producing queer media means to represent the LGBTQ community. They do it a way to make it feel relatable or shed light on the struggles queer people go through. An example of this would be the tv show Young Royals. The show is about 2 boys in boarding school who fall for each other. However, one of the boys is a prince. When a video of them gets out of them making out. The entire royal family receives backlash purely because he is gay. He goes on to deny that he was the one in the video to save his reputation. This depicts that many people in the LGBTQ have to hide who they are/love.

To produce queer media is to utilize different media to promote queer culture and make it available on a platform. Examples of this can range from social media, to television programs like Bravo, or streaming services like Netflix and Amazon who are starting to cater towards the queer community.

Consuming media queerly is the interpretation of varying media sources through a queer lens. For example, in Taylor Swift's recent albums "folklore" and "evermore" she sings from what is widely considered a heterosexual male perspective about a female subject. However, many have interpreted these songs through a queer lens, as examples of women-loving-women relationships.

I believe that representation is important because if you do not see people like you then it is hard to find comfort in media. I believe this is important in queer media because when people are not represented it is harder for LGBTQ+ to identify with themselves and feel like they are not outcasts.

I think producing queer media means challenging heterosexuality. This could mean a lot of different things, like including LGBTQ+ characters/ideas or using a queer stylistic approach. An example could be Macklemore's song Same Love, where he advocates for gay marriage and uses his lyrics to challenge gay stereotypes.

Queer production means to produce media that includes LGBTQ people and a more diverse group of people. In more recent years, platforms such as Amazon and Netflix have made LGBTQ people more prevalent by casting them in shows and movies. For example, Modern Family is a program that is well known for including LGBTQ people.

To consume media queerly, the viewer watched/views the media (such as TV, news, etc.) from a queer lens-this could be that the individuals identify with being queer, such that their perception of media/media-related artifacts are influenced by that identity

From a comment: Production of Queer media means that one is producing new media which not only enriches, but presents queer representation in some form. An example of this would be the inclusion of LGBTQ characters (ie. glee) or having the overall purpose of the show be to represent queer lifestyles

Refers to specific methods for media interpretation that could be up for queer interpretation; queer media could be like things broadcasted that aren't directly "queer media," but may be indirectly identified as or interpreted as "queer media."

Overall, animation is a prime example of queer coding in media. For example, Steven Universe creator Rebecca Sugar came out as bisexual after producing a show that had the first gay kissing scene of cartoon characters. She has said that she made the show to speak to underrepresented youth and LGTBQIA+ visibility.
