  1. Hi, I'm Krista Morgan and here's a little bit about me.
  2. Um I'm a rising sophomore,
  3. fashion merchandizing and design student from Cleveland, Ohio.
  4. And my son is at Aquarius. 1 23 is the birthday.
  5. Um
  6. I wanna talk a little bit about the presentation and how it connected to the chapter.
  7. A lot of the basics of the video that we watched with.
  8. First of all,
  9. I want to talk about how transparent she was with everything she was saying.
  10. She didn't sugarcoat anything.
  11. And that really helped me understand the book a lot more
  12. because the book is so technical with the terms that it,
  13. it was hard for me to, to grasp what she was saying.
  14. But when I watched the video,
  15. read the book and I did like a little half and half as I was reading,
  16. I would watch a little bit more.
  17. So it was like, I totally understand now,
  18. especially in the individuality portion when she talked about how
  19. each of these people represent like a different part of the gay community.
  20. Like you have Queen Latifah,
  21. but you have her as Queen Latifah and set it off.
  22. And after that, I think she said hairspray. I'm not 100% sure if she said hairspray.
  23. But when I think of a more feminine version of queen, oh, she knows living single.
  24. Those were two different types of Queen Latifa within the gay community.
  25. Wanda Sykes as well. Wanda Sykes was really big because I used to just see
  26. it was like Wanda Sykes, ok? She wears blazers.
  27. But when she explained the meaning behind the Blazer, it connected, it's,
  28. it connected me
  29. to, ok, Wanda Sykes T shirt blazer. Lesbian got it because
  30. our perception is our reality of how we see these people.
  31. Because if I do go out in public and see a woman with a t-shirt and a blazer on,
  32. I'm gonna assume she's a lesbian.
  33. So that really did help me understand a little, a little bit more.
  34. And then she talked about Janelle, I forgot to add a picture of Rain Simone.
  35. I'm gonna do that next. I should have done that. But it's ok,
  36. Janelle Mone
  37. is and
  38. what's her name?
  39. Raven Simone talking about how they're openly queer, openly gay and how they
  40. not let and how they don't let it define who they are as people and as actresses.
  41. Because if you walked up to either of them, you would not know.
  42. Well, if you walk up to Janelle Monet, you would not know that she is openly queer.
  43. Whereas Raven Simone, she does wear it.
  44. Well, when she is not in her actress mode because as an actress,
  45. she kind of portrays any role she puts on.
  46. Um
  47. And then two things I found interesting was Frida Callow is a bisexual icon.
  48. I come from a small conservative Christian household. So Frida,
  49. so anything that has to do with gender identity, stuff like that,
  50. I'm completely oblivious to.
  51. But when she explained Frida Callow in a bisexual icon,
  52. it really did help me understand
  53. a lot about a lot
  54. if you can pick up what I'm putting down.
  55. And then for the second one
  56. being bisexual was hard to fit in because you didn't fit in a category.
  57. I never knew that. And I found that very interesting.
