Option 1 Anti LGBTQ+ Rhetoric
Section Overview:

The overall section should include a variety of examples of where Anti-LGBTQ+ Rhetoric is found. I think two places could be sports and drag. Some of the topics I saw frequently were sports, rhetoric around children, and queerness in schools. We have discussed what areas we are most interested in writing about.
 * Topic Focus
 * One area I think is important to include is the conversation around trans-individuals in sports due to how prevalent it is. I think there is a good amount of research being done about these topics especially in the regard on if biological sex plays a role in sport abilities after hormones have begun.:
 * Sources
 * One source I would like to include is "Protecting Women's Sports? Anti-trans youth sports bills and white supremacy". I chose this source because it focuses on the conversation of trans-women in women sports. The article untangles the white feminist approach to the issue of this conversation and discusses the fear that comes from new legislation and how the approach undermines the efforts of allowing trans-women to be involved in women's sports. :

Option 2 Performance in Competitive Forensics Spaces

 * Section Overview
 * The overall section should discuss queer individuals place in forensics (speech and debate), how they have shifted it, and the future of their place in the community. I think these things could also be different sections within the article as well as possibly a section over specific performances that have changed the perception of the place of queer people on the circuit(s). I have discussed what we want to do most in this area. :
 * Topic Focus
 * One area I think it is most important to include is about the future of the queer communities space in forensics. Many people feel that the activity is dieing, but for many members of the queer community this community is the only outlet we have to truly tell our stories.:
 * Sources
 * One source I would like to include is "The Impact of Intertextuality, Textual Layering, and Performance Studies: Does the Text have any Integrity Left?" I chose this source because I believe that without the text and the importance and impact of the text that is used to tell the stories that he community very well could die, but through further analyses it could be revealed over how this could be saved. I chose this article because it directly tackles what I previously mentioned. (I really am having a hard time figuring out how to cite this source. I am not sure what category it would fall under and there is no DOI. This is the permalink to the article: https://libproxy.txstate.edu/login?url=https://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&db=cms&AN=31727170&login.asp&site=ehost-live&scope=site Could you help me with this one?):

Option 3 Drag Performance

 * Section Overview
 * The overall section would focus on the importance of drag performance in lives of queer individuals, both performers and audience members. Possible sections of the article could be how drag has impacted performers, how it has impacted audience members, and how do shows, like RuPaul's Drag Race, impact the drag community and it's perceptions. :
 * Topic Focus
 * One area I think it would be important to focus on is the effects of drag being fully banned or taken away. It is such a big part of queer culture that losing it would fundamentally force a shift in the community that might not be able to be recovered. :
 * Sources
 * One potential source I think I could use is ""Haute Couture? More like Haute Glue!": The Discourse of the 'reading challenge in RuPaul's Drag Race." I think this could be a good source because it centers in on an aspect of RuPaul's drag race that has caused controversy in the past, but mirrors what happens backstage between queens at real drag shows, this is also what the article discusses.
