Understanding how stereotypes hurt people.

Here is a short film that illustrates how corporate media manipulates social thinking. It also shows how difficult it is to buck the trend and break the pattern. Though it is true that because of the brave and honorable work of many who have resisted being rubbed out from view, it is still difficult in the US to find depictions of gay people as being essentially "normal" (though I am non too fond of that word in the same way that the word "christian" has taken on some sort of dark angry implication that I have no interest in embracing). These clips will make you think. Take control of your own thinking. Turn your t.v. off! Unless you wish to have your brain sucked out of your head to be replaced with some sort of corporate goop designed to turn you into a consuming neanderthal (no offence all you neanderthals out there...really!)
