In Composition II we read a poem called surviving the end of the world. This poem really resonated with me because it spoke about LGBTQ+ topics and in my opinion revolved around sexuality and how it’d perceived by society. Using a gay club as a metaphor, it spoke about topics of closeted individuals, how homophobia is portrayed in society and how society makes sexuality to be perceived as the end of the world. Using phrases like radiation seeping through, and referring to the community in violent terms like carrying weapons of destruction. This connects to my ethnographic class because in class we were exposed to a map that held stories from people who are LGBTQ+ and this week really taught me about perspectives and individualism. How even though society can perceive a group in a certain way, it doesn’t take away from the fact that we are all people who share different experiences and wants. Which can be further put into the perspective that we as a society choose to fear such beautiful things and how it can impact specific people. Overall this weeks lessons in both class deepened my knowledge in society and it’s impact on minorities.
