the celluloid closet , was about gay women and men not being able to be themselves in movies in Hollywood. there always had to be some type censorship, but people sometimes could tell if they were or other times were not. overall this was not and "Ok" thing by far, they tend to have made fun of homosexual women and men, as if they were something to joke about. I found this very disturbing and hurtful, so now I do have a better understanding of when they stated that people would watch shows hoping and praying just to see one homosexual guy or women being played in movies and t.v shows. in todays soiecty we have came a lonnnnnngg way in shows such as modern family, greys anatomy ECT. if though I failed to see any African American homosexual people portrayed in the documentary, I wonder if this wasn't big in the African American community yet, or was not as many people to even portray.. well now that I am thinking about it, not a lot of blacks were on television yet alone representing a group of people other than the sterotypes that were out for them, is what I am thinking. I also wondered how they didn't consider the women to be taken serious on these movies when they were gay, it was more ok to be a women and be gay than be a man and be gay, they just laughed it off when they lady in the documentary dressed up as an guy and was supposly were "bisexual". but here nor there. I am glad that homosexual women and men can be on television as themselves and not be made fun of,
