Article Selection
Please list the topic(s) that you were assigned based on your stated research preferences. This will include the area(s) you will be writing about for our LGBTQ+ Communication Studies page, at least one peer-reviewed Communication journal article for each topic, and a potential current Wikipedia articles(s) you might link your section to later in the semester.

Option 1: LGBTQ+ Intersectionality Theory of Closeting
This section should include how normatively effects LGBTQ+ people in coming out. It should also be sure to mention the communication theory of social penetration and how it can effect how people come out to family and friends.
 * Section Overview
 * Topic Focus

The social penetration theory, normalization, and the privacy management theory should be included in this section. These topics would be relevant to include because these communication theories can give an insight into the LGBTQ+ experience of coming out.


 * Source(s)

I would like to include Revealing and Concealing Difference: A Critical Approach to Disclosure and an Intersectional Theory of “Closeting” by McDonald et al (2019). This source gives insight of how LGBTQ+ people come out and how communication theories can explain these common behaviors. This source describes how normalization within society effects peoples journey with disclosure.

Potential Current Wikipedia Article(s)

I would link to Queer theory as it relates to normalization. This can further expand on how queer people are effected by society. The article I choose related to queer theory through the process of coming out. I may also include Social penetration theory as it applies to how queer people choose disclosure.

Option 2: Intersectionality and Feminism
The topic focus should be how feminism relates to sexuality and gender. Feminism when related to intersectionality can help expose how normalization within feminist groups could be harmful. I will include Only for White, Middle-class Feminists? ''' 'Issues of Intersectionality within the Worlds of Contemporary Digital Feminist Campaigns'' by Gleeson (2017) This article includes how feminism can be exclusionary to minorities. It gives insight how feminism can be harmful through normalization.
 * Section Overview
 * This section should include how feminism and intersectionality can expose how minorities experiences are different than other white women. Feminism should be included by showing how white women are put above minorities relating to queer people.
 * Topic Focus
 * Source(s)

Potential Current Wikipedia Article(s)

I would like to Feminism and Normalization (sociology). These links would help expand on the information I provide through the article. Since the article for this section is based on feminist intersectionality, a link to Minority group would also help explain how these different groups face oppression.

Section Overview

 * This section should include how queer people of color, POC, are discriminated against at a higher rate then white queer people.
 * Topic Focus
 * The focus of this topic should be how queer people of color, POC, are discriminated at a higher rate than their white counterparts. This would be important to include to highlight how the system in place
 * Source(s)
 * In this section will include “Is Gay the New Black?”: An Intersectional Perspective on Social Movement Rhetoric in California’s Proposition 8 Debate by Michelle Kelsey Kearl . The author describes how their seems to be a parallel marriage equality and the civil rights struggle. However, she also describes how harmful this analogy could be to POC, considering how racism is still an on going battle within all communities. Through intersectionality, the systems of oppression need to be further analyzed.
 * Potential Current Wikipedia Article(s) The author often uses the 2008 California Proposition 8, and later campaigns, as an example of how discrimination of race is prevalent in the queer community. I would also include a link to Racism in the United States to help expand on how this is still an on going fight for many people in the US.
