BOLOGNA, Italy – This weekend, I am going to miss one of my favorite Bloomington events – the PRIDE Film Festival at the Buskirk-Chumley Theater. The weekend allows the local community, gay, straight and questioning, to come together to discuss issues and new ideas and throw one sweet dance party.

I don’t pretend to be an expert in the field of film studies, but there is something about an independent film, especially a short, that I find irresistible.

I don’t think any work got done at IU that day, and many went home disappointed.

I’m not exactly the world’s biggest feminist. It’s not that I don’t condone some forms of feminism; it’s just never been my bag. But when I picked up the February issue of Cosmopolitan Magazine, the self-proclaimed “#1 Women’s Magazin,” I became quite disappointed. My disappointment started as early as the cover.
