queer

In thinking about Queer Theory, I can't help but bring up Cameron and Mitchell on Modern Family - while this clip is purely for entertainment purposes, it is an example of how overtly queer narratives have finally become accepted on the big, and small, screens.

In this clip, gay couple Cameron and Mitchell dress their adopted daughter up Anne-Geddes style and take pictures of her as various pop icons - Diana Ross, Olivia Newton John, Madonna - all of whom have had a gay following. This clip is a perfect conteporary analogy to the conversation we had about Doty's Judy Garland in class.
