OURSELVES: "Male Body Image in the Queer Community" This workshop will be a discussion and exploration of body image as it relates to males in the queer community. Explore how gay males were/are perceived by society, and in gay male culture at various points, both pre- and post-Stonewall. Masculine and feminine stereotypes, gym culture, disco, drag, steroids, AIDS, and heroin/crystal-user chic will be discussed. We will also look at how this has shaped the perception of our "selves," self-esteem, destructive behavior, dating/relationships and sexual addiction. Presenter: Rafael Cosio is a graduate of UCSB and has been actively working in the HIV/AIDS and LGBT communities professionally for 7 years. He has spoken at various state conferences and at local schools and universities, and he has conducted various Speakers Bureau trainings, in-services, and sensitivity trainings for high school teachers, churches, and staff members of various local organizations. Room: GSA Lounge |
