I have not really been exposed to them, especially in an academic environment.]]> 2020-11-19 19:42:11 UTC https://padlet.com/betsydurning/qr1858vyyvofs9fj/wish/943164293 harrison_consol https://padlet.com/betsydurning/qr1858vyyvofs9fj/wish/943164431 I have many close to me who fall under the umbrella of this theory, and while I do understand a lot more than I think I otherwise would without these people in my life, I am both comfortable and eager to learn more about this theory]]> 2020-11-19 19:42:13 UTC https://padlet.com/betsydurning/qr1858vyyvofs9fj/wish/943164431 Comfort/Discomfort jasonboue https://padlet.com/betsydurning/qr1858vyyvofs9fj/wish/943164842 I am slightly uncomfortable about this unit, but it mostly stems from the fact that I have never really talked about these issues in depth. I am excited to learn more]]> 2020-11-19 19:42:19 UTC https://padlet.com/betsydurning/qr1858vyyvofs9fj/wish/943164842 I really agreed with what Tyson said about how humanities have often left out books with perspectives from people in the LGBTQ community. Looking back at my experiences, I have read books by people of all races & ethnicities, yet feel like I missed out on this whole other dimension of identity maddieharrell1 https://padlet.com/betsydurning/qr1858vyyvofs9fj/wish/943165050 2020-11-19 19:42:22 UTC https://padlet.com/betsydurning/qr1858vyyvofs9fj/wish/943165050 I actually feel very comfortable discussing LGBTQ+ sexuality. many people close to me identify as queer, bi, gay, etc, and I'm actually very happy that it is getting recognition and attention for discussion in a class setting natevutpakdi https://padlet.com/betsydurning/qr1858vyyvofs9fj/wish/943165202 2020-11-19 19:42:24 UTC https://padlet.com/betsydurning/qr1858vyyvofs9fj/wish/943165202 anthonytreistman https://padlet.com/betsydurning/qr1858vyyvofs9fj/wish/943165379 Uncomfortable because I am so new to the topic, but I am open and looking to forward to learning more about Queer Theory.]]> 2020-11-19 19:42:26 UTC https://padlet.com/betsydurning/qr1858vyyvofs9fj/wish/943165379 I think that Justin Torres's TED talk set up our queer theory unit well, because he showed how the struggles of young LGBTQ people tie in with the struggles of all kinds of teenagers / young people. I think the book is going to be interesting because it is going to be a combination of the general difficulties of being young, and the accelerated difficulties of being young and LGBTQ davidshaw3 https://padlet.com/betsydurning/qr1858vyyvofs9fj/wish/943165717 2020-11-19 19:42:31 UTC https://padlet.com/betsydurning/qr1858vyyvofs9fj/wish/943165717 serenathompson1 https://padlet.com/betsydurning/qr1858vyyvofs9fj/wish/943165735 I feel comfortable talking about this topic.]]> 2020-11-19 19:42:31 UTC https://padlet.com/betsydurning/qr1858vyyvofs9fj/wish/943165735 i thought it was interesting how working class men could still be considered heterosexual if they were the one penetrating another man instead of being penetrated. it seems like a super surface level judgement that doesnt really make sense to me sarahsnoots https://padlet.com/betsydurning/qr1858vyyvofs9fj/wish/943166253 2020-11-19 19:42:39 UTC https://padlet.com/betsydurning/qr1858vyyvofs9fj/wish/943166253 I appreciated learning about Torres' personal life story prior to reading his novel, especially how he was treated by others after coming out and how he took his experiences as motivation to write this book. sanjitjuneja https://padlet.com/betsydurning/qr1858vyyvofs9fj/wish/943166355 2020-11-19 19:42:41 UTC https://padlet.com/betsydurning/qr1858vyyvofs9fj/wish/943166355 I think it provided a super interesting sort of introduction to the book. I liked writing about the prompt and look forward to seeing how it synthesizes with the plot and themes hudsongage https://padlet.com/betsydurning/qr1858vyyvofs9fj/wish/943167275 2020-11-19 19:42:54 UTC https://padlet.com/betsydurning/qr1858vyyvofs9fj/wish/943167275 Tyson https://padlet.com/betsydurning/qr1858vyyvofs9fj/wish/943167742 I liked what Tyson had to say regarding heterosexism and homophobia. America and its current social climate makes it very hard for people to come out as gay and be comfortable in their own bodies.]]> 2020-11-19 19:43:01 UTC https://padlet.com/betsydurning/qr1858vyyvofs9fj/wish/943167742 anthonytreistman https://padlet.com/betsydurning/qr1858vyyvofs9fj/wish/943169171 It surprised me how many notable LGBTQ authors were listed. ]]> 2020-11-19 19:43:20 UTC https://padlet.com/betsydurning/qr1858vyyvofs9fj/wish/943169171 Heterosexism jasonboue https://padlet.com/betsydurning/qr1858vyyvofs9fj/wish/943170885 Tyson's comments on heterosexism were very intriguing to me, especially when she went into homosexuality in history.]]> 2020-11-19 19:43:43 UTC https://padlet.com/betsydurning/qr1858vyyvofs9fj/wish/943170885 i am somewhat uncomfortable talking about transgender people because i have never learned about them in the past, sarahsnoots https://padlet.com/betsydurning/qr1858vyyvofs9fj/wish/943172897 (i am still eager to learn about this)
