Description:

Investigates the ideological functions of moving images (film/television/video), still images (photography/ magazines), and aural images (music) of lesbians, gays, bisexuals, and transgenders created by mass media institutions to legitimatize discrimination and oppression in the United States. Explores images by independent producers/ directors/artists to challenge and resist negative images and create transgressive images of lesbians, gays, bisexuals, and transgender.
