Sexual Hierarchies in Film and Television: How are queer sexualities and the dominance of

heterosexuality represented in various film and television sources? Choose a film or TV show that

features both heterosexuality and same-sex sexuality and analyze how the media source represents

sexual hierarchies. How is heterosexuality being represented? How are queer characters portrayed?

Is there any tension between heterosexuality and same-sex sexuality? What kind[s]? Do characters

fight back and express sexual freedom? If so, how? Films such as Milk, Fire, But I'm a Cheerleader!

La Mission and Brokeback Mountain would work well here; television shows could include Six

Feet Under, Queer as Folk, Pretty Little Liars, and Glee. (Make sure and use examples from the

readings and or video clips in your responses).
