Comments on: Tongues Untied: A Decade Later http://friendofdorothys.net/2009/04/04/tongues-untied-a-decade-later/ Pop Culture, Politics, and Media from a feminist, glbt, and racial perspective.

Now I can't watch any tv show without someone being gay, bi, lesbian or experimenting. Now it's even on soap operas! I think the problem for them is that EVERY character on tv isn't gay. If any group has something to complain about it would be African-Americans, Native Americans, Middle Easterners & Asians, the latter having hardly any screen time except for their own channels. The whole thing about the words someone uses(fag, bitch, queer) to describe another make sure that you aren't using it to describe yourself. I don't hear the gay community in an outrage when they use the word against another gay. Hypocrites! It's like blacks being mad that a white person says "Nigger" but then we call ourselves that all day long. It's stupid. You don't hear other cultures doing it with derogatory labels that are meant to describe their people. Change yourself then maybe others will change how you are viewed.

Have you seen Riggs' Emmy-winning short "Ethnic Notions"? His early death to AIDS is a tragedy. “Tongues Untied” is brilliant. Have you seen Riggs’ Emmy-winning short “Ethnic Notions”?
