    im going to come out to my whole media class on Thursday morning. We have to do presentations on identity, so I am doing mine on my identity. So like 20+ people at once, wish me luck! it should be interesting to say the least!

    on a side note, does anyone have any info/links about Queer Theory and Michel Foucoalt (sp?)? im still unsure about his observations, if anyone can sum up what Queer Theory actually is, I would be very grateful :slight_smile:

    Good Luck! Hope it goes well for you.

    Check out your library maybe they have the following book, which gives a summary of Foucault's Queer theory. "Foucault and Queer Theory"

    On Queer Theory itself try: "Queer Theory: An Introduction" by Annamarie Jagose; this might be a helpful website to look at: http://www.theory.org.uk/ctr-quee.htm

    Good luck! I did a similar thing in year 10, although I wasn't quite so direct about it - I didn't tell the class I was gay, but I gave a very vehement presentation about gay marriage that basically made the entire class figure it out. Let us know how it goes!

    yeah, it all went well, the class were supportive, and we had a discusion after about sexuality and identity, and then the teacher said after that it was a really good presentation and i linked it to the theories very well :grin: - yesterday was awesome
    Thanks everyone - for wishing me luck
