David Román creates excellent perspective into the haven and necessity of theatrical arts for homosexual Latino 's in Chapter 6 of Intervention entitled "Teatro Viva!" Román reveals that progressing as a community requires gay Latino men and women to use the theatre as a tool to break the socio-silence surrounding the idea of homosexuality and the AIDS virus. In this case, the region of Los Angeles, California is accounted for as having an enormous amount of input having to do with the de-marginalization of homosexual Hispanics in the world. "Teatro VIVA!" is the name of a Los Angeles county short-skit theatrical outreach program that provided a bilingual education of the gay Latino community confronted with AIDS during the early nineties. This chapter helps by providing the reader with a detailed record of many such performance acts in the Los Angeles around that time.

I am learning a lot from this project. For instance, there is much more to being Italian than the typical stereotypes that we have come to know from movies, television shows and books, which makes Italians seem very loud, close to their families and traditions. This ethnographic project has not only provided me with an opportunity to learn about a new culture, but also has taught me how to interact with someone whose personality is completely opposite of mine. This was our third meeting. My partner Michael decided to take me to “Little Italy,” located in lower Manhattan, on Mulberry Street bordering Chinatown.
Many safe places were gay bars, they were accepted and where a lot of the community could gather safely “However Gay bars at the time were often raided by police, for engaging in homosexual activities”(Marsha P. Johnson). At the time homosexual activities were very illegal and frowned upon for same-sex love. They could go to secret places, but most of the time, people would go undercover as Homosexual and find these places and rat them out to the cops. The cops didn't get them out but beat, arrested, etc the people in the bar. This was very common as many people were out to get their community and remove it from their world.
Often, gay men who had just moved to New York didn’t know how to find gay social scenes or even how to get a job. However, once connected with another gay man they were shown the YMCA, cafeterias, or restaurants where gay men would frequent. Most of the places where gay men would meet weren’t originally intended for them, but they found ways to turn normal places into gay social hubs, frequently
1. Lisa Wade explores the culture of sex within college campuses and how it has impacted the lives of the students she has researched in her book American Hookup: The New Culture of Sex on Campus. A major issue that she probes is the fact that her students are lonely and not in a physical way, but rather a mental way. The presence of hookup culture is causing students to feel out of place, unempowered, and objectified based on their traits. This peer pressure is undoubtedly inflicting objective harm causing students to feel unhappy (Wade 18).
Following the Stonewall riots, the Mardi Gras was created which became an annual street parade and one of Australia’s most notable events within the LGBT community. The event was one which integrated successfully both political activism and pleasure. As Race notes it brought “an innovative form of public and political expression to the city’s streets that emphasised play and parodic performance. the distinction between political activism and pleasure.” (2011, P.43).
In the early 1970s, the Chicago Sun Times reportedly called the first gay pride parade “…just a bold but loosely organized stream of activist and drag queens who marched along the sidewalk …shouting and vamping for gay rights.” This statement reflected society’s view of homosexuals as "drag queens", a term traditionally used to imply a male who acts with exaggerated femininity. While “drag” is commonly associated with homosexual males, those who participate in drag actually vary in gender, class, culture, motivation, and sexual orientation. Disdain with the minimization of homosexual identity and demand for equal rights the University of Chicago Gay Liberation Front sought to take action to debunk and rid stereotypes of homosexual selfhood.
Through our research, we found that the existing culture at the lodge was heavily centered around the bar, with a considerable amount of focus on bartenders. However, we also discovered that there were issues with the service and communication skills
In attempts to achieve a greater understanding of absolute reality and truth, Christopher McCandless temporarily separates from societal influences and undertakes an odyssey into the Alaskan wilderness. Powered by the notion of happiness through self-reliance, McCandless retreats from the social and into a deeper self, undergoing a profound realization of himself and truth. Linking McCandless’s countercultural actions to various literary influences ultimately reveal the overarching transcendentalist forces in which shape his determination to enter the wild and seclude himself from the social. The philosophy behind transcendentalism recognizes and rejects the flaws and corruption engrossed in the precepts of the status-quo society.

Timothy Shay Arthur’s “Ten Nights in a Bar-Room” is a novel filled with unfortunate events that change the lives of many families. It illustrates the lives of a few men, who were once proper gentlemen, but transformed into undesirable people due to intemperance. Their stories demonstrate how destructive alcohol was to their lives, not only for them, but for their families as well. One of the characters that immediately caught my attention was Joe Morgan. Joe went from being an enviable father and husband, and even Mr. Slade’s former business partner, to the town drunk and an absent father.
I only have a few subcultures that I can identify myself with. The first is a dance subculture because it was the primary focus of my life from age three to 19. Although I do not dance anymore, I have learned countless life lessons that are still relevant today. I learned all about commitment because if I wanted to be a great dancer I needed to stick with dance and devote my time and effort to it. Teamwork was a very crucial aspect of dance, especially being on a competition team.
Initially it was allied to gay men’s theatre, Gay Sweatshop founded in 1975. It produced its first lesbian piece Any Woman Can by Jill Posner in 1976. It was a ‘coming out story’.
