All God’s Children also worked well for me. It really contextualized the gay experience in the church community. As someone who went to a Catholic high school, I thought that I was familiar with a vast majority of […]

THis is my sample intro essay.

I argue that looking at the geographical spread of chocolate is a great way to think about colonialism.

I really enjoyed this post, especially your analyzation of Delly and Dr. Jaxon! I previously didn’t know about the LGBTQ+ perspective of the Ruth and Naomi story and really enjoyed looking at the link you posted. […]

I would actually argue that John was not “there to an extent” in regard to Delly’s supposed homosexuality. I’m not even sure if John did truly love his son because even Delly’s accomplishments were evidence of him […]

I also agree with your point that focuses on the lack productivity stemming from analyzing Delly. I agree that we should instead look at the father and focus on the homophobia and toxic masculinity that rules the […]

I totally agree with this viewpoint now that you pointed it out. I would be very interested in another short story from Delly’s point of view because I do think it would be more empowering and interesting to hear […]

I really liked how you laid out the argument and evidence that Kelly Brown Douglas uses in “Homophobia and Heterosexism in the Black Church and Community”. You did a really nice job choosing the most imp […]

Thank you for providing that link! I did not grow up going to church and was completely unaware that the story of Ruth and Naomi even existed before doing the reading on Delly. That article that you provided puts […]

The information provided enhanced my understanding of Hughes’ tale slightly. I concluded that John was not elated tha […]

“This leads adults to stay quiet about their sexuality, leaving gay and lesbian kids to have nobody to look up to and nobody to validate their feelings.”

This is so, so important. I was raised Christian, and […]

I definitely agree that this documentary highlighted intersectionality within the Black community. I think the broad group of people interviewed helped with this a lot, as it allowed us to see various perspectives […]

I think this is a great point, Cole. Delly doesn’t really get agency or character development and since we only learn about him through his father’s descriptions, what information we do have is colored by his […]

I like this because it also states the Delly enjoyed basketball, and a few other “masculine” things. But John focused on the things he found to be feminine.

I thought this was a very interesting view point and I agree with what you’re saying. The son was never explicitly described as gay, it was just assumed by his father because of the hobbies he pursued, and those […]

I loved your thoughts on dressing however makes you happy; I think that is such an important message to spread today. Clothes do not have a gender, and nobody should be ashamed to wear what makes them happy. As to […]

Hey Alyssa, great analysis on “Blessed Assurance,” I liked how you noticed that Dr. Jaxon agrees that Delly’s voice masculine and still thinks that he is best fit for that character. In addition, I also like the […]

Hey Hannah, I completely agree with your blog post. I did not have the time difference in mind when I was watching the documentary and when you stated that it was released in 1996 it truly surprised me. A lot has […]
