I’m back people. It’s been a while since I last posted and I apologize for that forum. So much has happened since I last posted, for the past three or so weeks in Drama class we have been working on something called PSAs. A PSA is a Public Service Announcement made to benefit out society. The PSA we were required to make in drama class was for increasing the awareness of a serious topic; our group chose the large topic of Hate. There are many different forms of hate in the world: Racism, prejudice, domestic violence, we focused on the topic of homophobia.
Our group campaigned this topic with a simple yet powerful name: End the Hate. We chose homophobia as our primary topic because we felt the world wasn’t addressing it enough. In the month of September alone 5 homosexual teenagers chose to take away their lives because they were treated unjustly. This touched me because if we as race make love as an importance, why is it that we condone it for homosexuals, they just represent their love in a different way. We chose the colors purple and white to represent us, purple was chosen for two reasons one: it represented our production company Prolific Productions and two: it represented gay pride. White was chosen to represent Hate, this is because white is a very simple term and hate is tossed around like a simple word. This project was a wonderful experience because I portrayed the role of a homosexual in grade 9 drama and this PSA allowed me to further increase my knowledge of my character.
