My final topics are Quare Theory, Queer and Religion Communication Intersections, and HIV/AIDS LGBTQ+ Health Communication.

Keven James Rudrow (2023) Quare vernacular discourse: vulnerability, mentorship, and coming out on YouTube, Critical Studies in Media Communication, 40:2-3, 121-135, DOI: 10.1080/15295036.2023.2229418, R. (2023, May 24).Through the experiences shared by Quare people on Youtube, we can get a better idea of their struggles because of first hand knowledge and commentary.Kuaer Theory. Oxford Research Encyclopedia of Communication. Retrieved 26 Mar. 2024, from https://oxfordre.com/communication/view/10.1093/acrefore/9780190228613.001.0001/acrefore-9780190228613-e-1175 .This source talks about the origins of Queer theory, how Womanism played a key role in creating it. Gay Black men needed a term for themselves that kept the core values of being gay, but without the white norms that come along with the term Queer. The Kuare Theory article offers a historical point of view on this topic by discussing the cultural and economic changes that have occurred in the gay black community.My first topic is on Quare Theory which is about what it means to be black, male and gay.Quare Vernacular Discourse helps explain what Quare Theory is by using the stories and words of those who were out as Quare individuals on Youtube. Kuare Theory brings about information about womanism and the creation of Queer theory and differentiates the term Quare from Queer Theory. My second topic is Queer Religion Communication Intersections uses an article on the Ghanaian Pentecostal Church and how it addresses LGBTQ+ violence. This article will help explain the offenses that many churches partake in and point out how they continue to use hurtful stereotypes and marginalize communities. A second article to help aid my topic is discussing the chatrooms in Finland that are continuing the conversation about Islamic queer people. This source is useful because it shows examples of religion actively being violent towards queer people and how few people know about how Islam deals with sexual minorities. I think location is a very interesting aspect to consider in every example of LGBTQ+ topics, so this article peaks my interest as it is discourse from Finnish people on their observance of Muslims immigrating into their country.

My final topic is HIV/AIDS LGBTQ+ Health Communication and it requires a film source. Tal Como Somos is an educational film whose goal is to de-stigmatize the LGBTQ+ Latinos with aids. This intersectionality will bring insight into the origins of certain societal ideas about aids and how that prevented awareness and created trouble with curing the disease. Secondly another article will help us to understand first hand experiences of people with aids creating discourse. Through explaining the plans and goals of the HIV/AIDS awareness group we can understand how they would like to be viewed and how their message helped the fight on Aids.
