IS THE MEDIA WORKING FOR US OR AGAINST US?
In an age of "The L Word," "Queer as Folk," Queer Eye and televised mass gay weddings where are the positive images of all the Black gay, lesbian, bi and trans people who make our lives so fabulous?
DO THESE IMAGES EXIST?
What can we do to popularize them?
Are you interested in creating them?
What would you like to see more of?
How do the current images affect our ability to come out at home, at work, in our communities, at our churches and at our schools?
Get answers to these questions and more.
