Go watch a range of videos from the It Gets Better website. Watch at least five videos and remember to post the links to each video on Blackboard for others to see.
Try to view a range of both celebrity and non-celebrity videos. After watching the videos, answer the following questions:
1. What techniques of dominance were alluded to in people's narratives? Please be specific and refer to the specific videos you've watched to help illustrate your thoughts.
2. How has systematic oppression of BGLTQ individuals in the world led to the necessity of the It Gets Better campaign?
3. One critique of the It Gets Better campaign has been that it doesn't take into account the unique experiences of persons of color.
After viewing a range of videos (watch three at a minimum), would you agree or disagree with the notion that the It Gets Better campaign is unintentionally hegemonic? Why?
