Exposing

During the pride panel we had one of the members said something that really hit home with me. He stated that the queer community would rather have "bad" or skewered publicity then none, because at least they are being talked about. I feel like this doesn't just connect with the queer community but also with every single person that feels left out in society  I feel like right now that the queer community has the spot light with it but their are so many other issues as well that also need to be talked about. For example people with disabilities  are not really seen as people who can accomplish what other non disabled can. People feel like they must protect them and shelter then from the rest of the world. The article we read about Lady Gaga was a good example of this. People were upset about her showing up on stage in a wheelchair. Thinking she was poking fun at them. People who were disabled didn't even think twice about it. and why would they? Gaga is one of the top artist of our time, having her roll up in a wheelchair can be a sign of strength.  I feel their needs to be more moments like this in the world. Showing the world that people come in a million different ways and that we need to be able to showcase them all without thinking negatively about it.
