some random thoughts

Submitted by LizJ on Fri, 10/23/2009 - 6:25pm.

 

First off, I sort of came up with this design for GaS, what do you think? If anyone wants to add/change it, please do so!

Secondly, I don't really have any complete thoughts right now, so bare with me as I ramble:

-I would be interested in going more into mental disabilities, but I understand we have limited time. The idea of "Mad Pride" definitely intrigued me.

-The movie "Coming Home" (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0077362/) came to mind when we were talking about disability and sexuality. I remember hearing it was shocking to audiences because it included sex scenes with someone in a wheelchair.

-Also going off the disability and sexuality topic, I thought it was so intriguing that disability could potentially open up sexuality and make it more fluid for someone because they couldn't necessarily play into tradition male/female sex roles.

-We're talking a lot about disability in terms of art (writers, painters, dancers, etc.), I would be interested in taking a look at the everyday of disability too.

That's all for now!
