Insurrection Reaction Paper By depicting Ron as a homosexual and introducing a love interest with a slave named Hammet, Robert O’Hara is addressing the silenced theme of homosexuality within African Americans during the slave era. In today’s society, especially within the black community, homosexuality is frowned and to be associated with it automatically lowers one’s status. O’Hara dares to challenge the status quo where black families either ignore, or attempt to sweep this topic under the rug. He forces the readers to acknowledge the always existing intimacy of homosexuality between slaves by adding on stage kisses between Ron and Hammet, and also making Mutha Wit confront Ron about his homosexuality. O’Hara gives Ron this extremely high status by sending him to Columbia University where he is a Ph.D.
This can be attributed to her father’s deep secrecy. It can be shocking when Alison first reveals her dad’s homosexuality when she says “…would an ideal father and husband have sex with teenage boys,” and how she talks about masturbation and sex and shows illustrations of her and her partner, but this is all because Alison wants things to be presented as honestly as possible since so much of her early life was shrouded in secrecy. She does not seem to like her father, but he has undoubtedly helped form who she is. Alison’s depiction of her father shows that she did not want to be like him. She forms analogies to their differences when she says, “I was Spartan to my father’s Athenian.

The characters represent the jaded American dream, and the kind of lives, standards and tensions within which the immigrant population found themselves living. Whilst not explicitly about race, Williams has developed a setting, culture and characters affected by racial prejudice. Williams believed that people are doomed to suffer from despair and mistrust. He said that 'we are all savages at heart' (Williams, T. (1959), Foreword to A Streetcar Named Desire, Penguin), and he certainly presents this notion through his characters, whose sexual instincts plays large part in their flawed identities and their personal downfalls. Sexuality plays a key role throughout: Williams' homosexuality perhaps influenced his interpretation of these characters.
It’s called Rock ‘n’ Roll and it had parents, teachers, and politicians worried for the youth of America. Rock ‘n’ Roll was the first of its kind in that the vocals were not always the center of discourse, but the body language of the performers and the beat of the music moved the audience a lot of times…Rock and Roll was elemental, savage, dripping with sex; it was just as our parents feared” (8). The reason for the fear: Rock ‘n’ Roll evolved from recordings by African-American artists known
Rodney Hu Eng 103 Professor Gray Feb. 18, 2015 Real Men and Pink Suits In the article, “Real Men and Pink Suites” by Charles M. Blow, the author sheds light on a sensitive subject in society. Blow gives his thoughts on society and how they view manhood and masculinity. He mentions situations where people are insulting or hurting others for their lack of masculinity. Blow argues that the idea of masculinity is broad enough and wide enough for all of us to fit into. He is able to connect to the people of the gay, lesbian, and bisexual community because he gives examples of how these people are being hurt by society for being different.
Sullivan tests the limits with his use of one of the three appeals. Basing a majority of his essay off of Pathos, he makes you sympathize with homosexuals young and old –as old as they get –alike. He emphasizes growing up homosexual, the lonely, shaded path many young homosexuals take dodging back and forth between masks, masking the light of their true, internal selves. The more in depth he goes into his writing, the more his tone shifts from sad and reminiscent of the trials he faced to more accepting and empowering for who he really is. He uses a beautifully twisted symbolism to discuss the short life span of homosexuals.

Though not completely tolerated nor accepted, society today has familiarized itself with the idea of same sex relationships. In order to become more at ease, however, homosexuals had to endure a series of events such as the Stone Wall Riots, discrimination in groups and clubs, and personal hate geared towards the gay community. Homosexuals have gone through years of being ridiculed and discriminated against. Perhaps the most memorable and eye opening event in the history of the gay and lesbian community were the Stone Wall Riots. Prior to 1965, gay and lesbian bars were subject to constant raids in cities across the United States.
