Sexuality Perspective
1. What are the five major social functions of pop culture?
Give (YOUR OWN) examples of each.
2. Kidd notes that most queer characters are written and
portrayed by straight and/or cisgender folks. What are some of the
implications? What does this suggest about representation?
3. Sexuality obviously intersects with other identities
(think about gender, race, class, etc). Who, however, has access to “gay
visibility” in pop culture? Who is prominently featured? Are there exceptions?
4. Kidd recounts the coming-out story of Christopher
Bradley. According to Bradley’s agent, “No one cares about that anymore” (p.
150). Is this the case? How does an artist’s genre affect the amount of support
and/or backlash they receive? Furthermore, how does heteronormativity continue
to shape the lived experiences of (non-famous) queer folks?

5. Kidd gives examples of how queer youth might engage in
“identity management” via Facebook and other social media sites. What is
identity management? Why would a person need to censure or conceal aspects of
their identity? In what ways are your personal identities privileged? In what
ways are you perhaps pressured to control or manage them?
