"l! makrs gays and lesbians Invisible It makes us
seem like a much smaller minority than we are It
spawns stuff like what s going on now with the OCA
Kon Gregg, a telm ommunic alums and film graduate
student, said movies with positive portrayals of g.iv
men and lesbians exist, but the\ are not usually main
stream. bliK.kbuster films Gregg is working on his dls
serlation. title.! "The bionomics of the Masculine Star
dom Money. Censorship and Homophobia in Holly
wood from lr)2l) to 14'tfi
(lavs and lesbians, just like other minorities, often are
evil characters in movies, Gregg said
It s often the weaker momlxtrs of our society who
become the killers in movies,"' Gregg said "It's either
the blacks. the Hispanics or the gays and lesbians It's
always the other ' They're doing the killing and raping
They're doing the nasty things in society
Cay characters in movies often walk mincinglv and
bend their wrists in the stereotypical way, Gregg said
They also wear pastel and bright colors
In /he Silence <>l the Lambthe g.iv man is a serin!
killer w ild dons dresses and owns a poodle, Gregg said.
He hides ins penis ami stands feminine-like." Gregg
said "It retails the symlxil of the drag queen with the
pink poodle He's ashamed of his gayness anti strikes
tel! against the feminine within himself "
b /(./>/{, Instinct Sharon Stone's character suggests
'.lie outi h" stereotype of lesbians. Gregg said She
w. . ■ : 1 11r pulled iiat k and wears hoots, jeans and
, sc n, ciitivi- portrayals serve to reinforce, the.ster
eti'vpes that heterosexual people have been taught,
