I really like how you touched on this topic, because it's becoming a growing advocacy these days. I've read before that in the army it was always don't ask don't tell, and that homophobia was very present but in this day and time more and more celebrities, soldiers and civilians are "coming out" and I think you did a wonderful job finding news headers and articles that align together to make a cohesive newsreel about this specific topic. I know for one, I support gay rights and feel they should be treated just as equal and respected just like straight couples. Good job on arranging the sentences to fit together!
ReplyDeleteI think you did a really good job! I personally do not agree with same sex marriage because of my Christian beliefs, but just because I do not agree with it does not mean I do not think they should have the right to be together if they so choose!! We should all have equal rights, even if we disagree with the way others live their life I do not feel like it is right to treat people unequally. I liked also how you used the different font, size, and colors. It made your newsreel pop and stand out to me. The things you chose to go into your newsreel went well together and were good choices. It is very diverse information but it still flowed together nicely.
ReplyDeleteThis may sound odd, but thanks for picking such a controversial topic. So many people are too afraid to speak up for themselves (or others) because they fear that they'll be harassed or put down because of it. This is a really topical and controversial Newsreel, and I think that the headlines that you used (as well as the rainbow color in the title) really fit it very well. Good work, man.
