Gay Media

This week we talked about gender identy. I never knew there were so many gender catagories. Gender has had a major impact on the media. In the pass decade stars have started to flaunt there sexuality more and more. In the 80s it was Elton john in his flamboyant costumes, in the 90s it was cheer, and these days its LadyGaga. This has always been a nation where sex sells. I think the biggest gender bender has always been Marilyn Manson, he just scared me. Some people think this is wrong and its wrong to be gay. I think the whole gay thing, its way over rated in the world and in media. But I do think in a world that is highly sexual, we are consonitally seaking out sex driven stars. Sexuality is a main things that drives our entertainment industry. Everywhere we look we see imagies of sex. These images can have a negative impact on our child!

Yes I'm DISABLED and Yes I'm gay...........and yes I'M now PROUD of it!!

This week we talked about disability. As a person who is living with a disability, this hit close to home. Sex and disability is a taboo topic. My experience with my disability and sex, has been an odyssey. It began when I was 18, I knew I wanted something was different. Having a disability and wanting something more in a relationship. What a weird combination, I always thought. How hard could finding my sexuality be, I always thought??!! I was afraid to come out of the closet because I didn’t know how people would react. To fit in a sexual society is hard, to fit into a sexual driven society as a disable person is an entire different thing. Sex and disability have always been a weird and realistic idea to me. To try to fit in to this perfect society as a disable person, who wants to be sexual. But yet society has label you as a fragile and delicate. I know that disability and sex is taboo, I really don’t care. If I was going to be a joke, as a disable lesbian…..i’ll just do what they always say..”fake it till you, make it”. Well I guess that just what I did, I just kept telling myself I was gay and I told people I was gay. After years, of telling people I was gay…I finally feel confident to say that I am a lesbian. That’s something that I feel safe to say. Its not about who you are and who you tell people you are. Its about the confidence you have in yourself and the identity you feel comfortable in. I found out if I tell people I am gay, they don’t think I am a joke…….instead they don’t make a big deal about it!!
I found this clip on YouTube, It spoke to me and I really identify with these people!

Can't we all have Health Care

It sad that not everyone can get health care. As a disable person I can’t get health insurance. I believe that everyone should be able to get issuance. I being on medicare I can’t get pass the red tape. In order to get prober and quality health care, I have two choices Medicaid or having to pay out of pocket. I’m not complaing, but I wish I could be able to pick and chose the doctors I want. I wish medical insurance was available for everyone. I wish that everyone could get free healthcare, in the USA. If we would stop butting in to other people’s business, perhaps we would all be able to have healthcare. We waste so much money on unnecessary money on things we don’t really need. If we could stop spending money on things, such as war. Then maybe we could afford health care. The fact that we are consider a wealthy country, but we can give certain people free health care. All over the world, people get free health care. I have a strong believe that everyone should have medical insurance, I think it should be require by law to have health care. That all medical care should be affordable.
