GUIDELINES FOR PROPER SENSITIVE COVERAGE, A MANIFESTO
This manifesto is meant to serve as a guide for journalists, writers, artists, and creators who wish to center vulnerable populations in their art.
Performative and Competitive Homosexuality
To the heterosexual world, the gay man’s presentation of his sexuality is a performance. Homosexual men are the players, heterosexual society the director, crew critic, and audience. How well can the gay man perform his sexuality at the heterosexual’s pleasure?
Commodified Creativity
The American liberal arts student is taught to create, not for the sake of creativity or the artistic spirit as their institutions say they encourage, but for the sake of the market. These institutions push the doctrine that if their students participate in the academy, they will be granted access to monetary opportunities in their field of supposed creativity.
