celluloid closet

A memorable scene from the film was when they talked about the film Fried Green Tomatoes. I love that film and own a copy of the dvd, a special edition yet I never realized that they were really lesbians. I had never thought of it in that context. My focus of the film were always the bonds of family, friendship, and the racism depicted. Taking a second look at the film I came to realize that although it was subtle the filmmaker did state the women's sexual orientation without actually saying it but instead using their actions. If The Celluloid Closet had been made today it would have had a larger distribution due to You Tube, blogs, and other forms of networking. The book Web 2.0 brought out the importance of texting and more people would have seen the film if they could have received a short text concerning the film and its importance. I know I use everything the Web has to offer and that i text more then I make phone calls. They are ways to communicate and meet others with the same or similar interests as yourself. For me, texting is better because I answer phones for a living and my reception is horrible at home. Here's a site that I found interesting http://queertoday.com/. I would recommend reading the article From Homophobia to Islamophobia [and back], it brings two important issues to light. This site is less serious but still important: http://www.kissmeimqueer.com/. The two sites give us different areas of interest within LGBT community and those that are supporters of LGBT communities and believe they should have equal rights.
