This article was written by Roy Olsen in 1979 for the 20th issue of Jump Cut. This article was extremely important to my research as it directly linked to my aim - "to show that homosexuals, when shown at all, where used for entertainment purposes or to be used as a form of "other" which the other characters compare themselves to. they are also mostly shown as the victim.
"My dominant concern throughout is with the instrumentality of film for gay liberation." - this is good as it cleanly and plainly tells us what the article is about and what issues he will be tackling.
"confessional films, documentaries of gay events or circumstances, and short parodies or satires of straight prejudice and gay stereotypes."
he says that some films are "educational' films on controversial topics"
"comedy is aimed primarily at gay and sympathetic straight audiences"
