We’re not going to talk about “Dallas Buyers Club” at the 2014 LGBT journalist convening.
Yes we are. A few days ago, I posted excitedly about going to Washington DC to attend the 2014 LGBT Media convening and the very real possibility of seeing the president. Well, my train was behind schedule, so I missed Bo by 15 minutes but the real frustration hadn’t even begun. Looking at the agenda early in the day I saw three panels where I could air my concerns about Jared Leto’s role in the Dallas Buyers Club, the reason I had decided to attend. I really tried to get recognized waving my hand to indicate I had input to be considered. However, Matt Foreman moderating the first panel “Understanding and deconstructing the attack lines of the anti LGBT industry” looked past me as if I didn’t exist. I finally got his attention, but he just grimaced and looked away. I wasn’t the only one to notice this. Someone commented

Why this article may matter
Community significance

Historical significance
The article may have historical value because it explicitly interprets or preserves material concerning media, rhetoric, and discourse. Published in 2014 by Transadvocate.com, it can be read both for the history it describes and as evidence of how transgender identity and history was framed at that moment.
Policy significance
