heya,
i take gcse drama and for this terms assesment we are allowed to do our own piece in small groups. there are 4 of us in my group and 2 of us are bisexual girls so we have decided to do a piece about being gay. (the other two dont mind)

we have loads of ideas and we want to include:-
- a teenage girl coming to terms with her sexuality
- a teenager coming out to her family and having loads of differnet positive, negative and just obscure reactions.
- a teenage girl who has just come out at school walking through a crowd of people being paranoid and having obscenities shouted at her
- a female relationship which shows that gay people are the same as straight people on the inside.

has anyone got any strange reactions that they have had when there coming out that they dont mind sharing?? they can be humorous because we want to put some elements of humour in to grab people attention.

does anyone have any ideas of how to portray the fact that the 2 girls who are having the relationship are the same as any other couple?? it cant have full on snogging or anything in because we are only 15!!

do you think this is a good idea?? our drama group is generally very narrow minded so we want to open there eyes to the real world. we would like to bring some kind of audience participation in so do you have any ideas for that???

anyone have any other ideas that might be effective?? anyone done a similar thing before and of so what techniques did you use??

sorry its so long but i would really really really appreciate any feedback.

another idea i had was if at the end we all ripped open our school shirts and we had gay pride tshirt on underneath. do you think this would be efective??

Thanks in advance. xx
