SET A PURPOSE JOURNALISTS NEED TO ASK THEMSELV WHAT THEY ARE TRYG TO ACPLISH THROUGH THEIR VERAGE OF PRI EVENTS, REGNIZG THAT THEIR GOAL WILL LIKELY PEND ON THEIR LOTN. “IN SOME PLAC, MIGHT BE TO DOCUMENT A CELEBRATN WH CIZENS OUR MUNY,” SAID KELLY MCBRI, THE CHAIR OF THE CRAIG NEWMARK CENTER FOR ETHICS AND LEARSHIP AT POYNTER, WHICH IS BASED ST. PETERSBURG, FLORIDA. “THAT WOULD BE A PERFECTLY LEGIMATE REASON. BUT WE’RE HERE FLORIDA, AND I WOULD SAY THAT YOU PROBABLY WANT TO BE A LTLE MORE AMB THAN THAT.” MCBRI POTED TO THE CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT AS AN EXAMPLE. JT AS THE 1960S, SHE SAID, ’S IMPORTANT THAT JOURNALISTS AVOID PRENTG “BOTH SIS” A FALSE EQUIVALENCY. “THERE ARE MOMENTS WHERE PEOPLE ARE ASSERTG THEIR EQUALY AT THE SAME MOMENT THAT THE STATE IS ASSERTG THEIR EQUALY, AND THAT LOOKS VERY DIFFERENT,” SHE SAID. “AND SO REGNIZE THAT WE’RE A MOMENT TIME RIGHT NOW WHERE THERE’S A HUGE GAP BETWEEN WHAT MEANS TO EXIST WH DIGNY AND A FULL TACT SET OF HUMAN RIGHTS.” DR. GREEN-CALISCH ECHOED THIS POT. “JT BEE SOMETHG HAS BEEN POLICIZED DO NOT MAKE POLIL,” HE SAID. “I THK ’S A VERY, VERY IMPORTANT NOTE TO SAY THAT WE’RE TALKG ABOUT PEOPLE’S EXISTENCE RIGHT NOW.” MCBRI SAID JOURNALISTS SHOULD TE REARS AND VIEWERS ON THE SPECIFICS OF ANTI-LGBTQ+ LAWS. MANY OF THE NEW BILLS ARE BASED ON TEMPLAT WRTEN BY NATNAL NSERVATIVE GROUPS, WHICH ARE DISSEMATED TO LOL LAWMAKERS TO ADAPT TO THEIR STATE AND THEN BACKED WH MULTI-LN DOLLAR FUNDG MPAIGNS. “THIS IS A REALLY GOOD TIME TO PRS THE ABSURDY OF THOSE LAWS AND TO TAKE THE OPPORTUNY TO DO SOME EXPLANATORY JOURNALISM ABOUT HOW THOSE LAWS ARE EVEN GOG TO WORK AND WHO N BE PROSECUTED BEE THEY’RE DIFFERENT DIFFERENT STAT,” MCBRI SAID. “YOU DON’T HAVE TO PUT YOUR OWN VIEWPOT , BUT YOU FELY SHOULDN’T SHY AWAY OM LEANG TO THE NTROVERSY A WAY THAT T THE PUBLIC WHOUT FLAMG THE SUATN.” IF A JOURNALIST CHOOS TO MENTN PROTTERS AGAST PRI EVENTS, ’S IMPORTANT TO PUT THEM PROPER NTEXT GIVEN RELATIVE SIZE, RATHER THAN PRENTG “BOTH SIS” AS EQUAL PARTICIPANTS. IF THERE ARE 100,000 PEOPLE AT A PRI PARA AND 50 PROTTERS, REPORTERS SHOULD REGNIZE THAT REPRENTS .05% OF THE CROWD AND TAILOR THEIR REPORTG ACRDGLY. “YOU DON’T WANT TO CREATE A FALSE EQUIVALENCY YOUR VERAGE OF PROTTERS,” MCBRI SAID. PROVI HISTORY AND NTEXT JOURNALISTS HAVE A RPONSIBILY TO UNRSTAND THE HISTORY OF THE EVENT THEY ARE VERG. THE FIRST “PRI” WAS A RT. ON JUNE 28, 1969, A GROUP OF QUEER PATRONS AT THE STONEWALL INN ON CHRISTOPHER STREET NEW YORK CY CID ENOUGH WAS ENOUGH. LED PRIMARILY BY BLACK AND BROWN TRANS WOMEN, THE QUEER PEOPLE FOUGHT BACK AGAST POLICE MISTREATMENT A STREET RT THAT LASTED DAYS. THIRTEEN PEOPLE WERE ARRTED. EVERY YEAR AFTERWARD, LGBTQ+ PEOPLE AND THEIR ALLI MARCHED PEACEFULLY ALONG CHRISTOPHER STREET SUPPORT OF GREATER RIGHTS FOR QUEER PEOPLE WHAT HAS BEE KNOWN AS A PRI PARA. “IT WAS AN ACT OF CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE,” SAID DR. GREEN-CALISCH. IT’S IMPORTANT THAT JOURNALISTS KNOW THAT PRI TODAY IS NOT “JT WAVG FLAGS AND SG,” BUT A CELEBRATN OF THE “FIGHT TO HAVE THE RIGHTS THAT WE DO TODAY.” THIS YEAR, PRI IS LIKELY TO TAKE ON MORE ASPECTS OF PROTT THAN SIMPLE CELEBRATN. “THERE HAS BEEN CREASGLY A TRANSN TO REALLY EMBODYG WHAT PRI WAS ORIGALLY TEND TO BE, WHICH IS A PROTT,” SAID MAX FENNG, PRINT OF PRISM, A SOUTH FLORIDA NONPROF FOCED ON LGBTQ+ YOUTH. “SO THAT’S A BIG PART OF ; WE SHOW UP TO THE MORE FIERY THAN WE DID THE PAST.” IT’S ALSO IMPERATIVE THAT JOURNALISTS BE AS SPECIFIC AS POSSIBLE THEIR LANGUAGE WHEN REPORTG ON PRI EVENTS AND ANTI-LGBTQ+ LAWS. MANY PROPOSED LAWS TARGET DRAG PERFORMERS, CLUDG LAWS THAT BAN THEIR PERFORMANC PUBLIC PLAC OR AT EVENTS WH CHILDREN; TRANSGENR PEOPLE, SUCH AS LAWS THAT BAN GENR-AFFIRMG RE FOR MORS; AND LGBTQ+ PEOPLE GENERALLY, SUCH AS LAWS THAT BAN TORS OM TEACHG ABOUT THE GAY MUNY. WHEN VERG THE LAWS, JOURNALISTS NEED TO BE REFUL NOT TO NFLATE DIFFERENT THGS, FOR EXAMPLE, NOT ALL TRANS PEOPLE ARE DRAG PERFORMERS AND NOT ALL DRAG ARTISTS INTIFY AS TRANSGENR. “THE KEY DIFFERENCE IS THAT TRANSGENR IS AN INTY AND AN NATE QUALY OF A PERSON, WHEREAS DRAG IS AN ART FORM,” FENNG SAID. “SO BEG TRANSGENR MEANS THAT YOU DO NOT INTIFY WH THE SEX THAT YOU WERE ASSIGNED AT BIRTH, THE ONE THAT WAS PUT ON YOUR BIRTH CERTIFITE. IT IS A STATE OF BEG … WHEREAS DRAG IS AN ART FORM, AND FOR SOME A PROFSN, A TYPE OF DRS THAT SENTIALLY TURNS GENR EXPRSN TO PERFORMANCE OR TO ART.” THE DISTCTN IS IMPORTANT PART BEE MANY LGBTQ+ LAWS ARE WRTEN TO BE TENTNALLY VAGUE. “THE PURPOSE OF THAT IS SO THAT (THE LAWS) N BE OVERTERPRETED AND OVERENFORCED AND OVERIMPLEMENTED. AND SO ’S IMPORTANT FOR JOURNALISTS TO BE VERY, VERY CLEAR AND VERY, VERY PRECISE TERMS OF WHAT THE PIEC OF LEGISLATN DO AND DO AND DO NOT,” FENNG SAID. FOR EXAMPLE, S.B. 1438 TECHNILLY BANS THE “LEWD EXPOSURE OF PROSTHETIC OR IMATN GENALS OR BREASTS,” WHICH IS NOT SIMPLY A “DRAG BAN.” “IT’S ACTUALLY ANTI-TRANS,” DR. GREEN-CALISCH SAID. “THE REALY … IS THAT THERE ARE TRANS PEOPLE THAT LIVE AND EXIST WAYS THAT ARE NGENT WH THE LANGUAGE OF THIS BILL, WHICH IS WHY WE’VE BEEN RAISG AS MANY NCERNS AS POSSIBLE BEE NOW YOU HAVE PEOPLE THAT MAY WALK TO A LIBRARY AND ULD POSSIBLY BE ARRTED FOR EXISTG.” LIMG PUBLIC UNRSTANDG OF THE BILL TO BANNG ALL DRAG DO A EP DISSERVICE TO THE LGBTQ+ MUNY — AND IS ACCURATE REPORTG. BY LLG S.B. 1438 A DRAG BAN, “WE’RE SENTIALLY GIVG THE NSERVATIVE POLICIANS WHO HAVE TO DANCE AROUND WHEN WRG , WE’RE SORT OF GIVG THEM WHAT THEY WANT,” FENNG SAID. ED PHOTOGRAPHY WH AN EYE TOWARD ACCURATE REPRENTATN PHOTOJOURNALISTS SHOULD BE THOUGHTFUL ABOUT THE PHOTOS AND VIOS THEY CHOOSE TO REPRENT A PRI EVENT. THEY SHOULD RIST CHOOSG THE MOST SALAC OUTFS TO GET THE “BT PICTURE,” AND STEAD MAKE CHOIC THAT ACCURATELY REPRENT THE DIVERSY OF THE CROWD GATHERED. MCBRI POTED OUT THE DISPROPORTNATE NUMBER OF PHOTOGRAPHS PUBLISHED OM PRI PARAS THAT SHOW, FOR EXAMPLE, MEN LEATHER HARNS OR CHAPS. “I GET THAT THOSE PHOTOGRAPHS ARE SOMETIM THE MOST TERTG … (BUT) THEY ARE NOT NECSARILY REPRENTATIVE OF THE MUNY,” SHE SAID. “GO BACK TO: WHAT’S YOUR PURPOSE? ARE YOU TRYG TO MAKE THE GAY MUNY LOOK AS WEIRD AS POSSIBLE? ESPECIALLY FLORIDA, RIGHT? I FEEL LIKE ’S MOSTLY MOMS AND THEIR KIDS, BUT YOU DON’T OFTEN SEE THAT THE PHOTOGRAPHS.” SOME PRI ANIZERS FLORIDA SAY THEY’RE NERVO THAT UNREPRENTATIVE PHOTOGRAPHY AT THEIR EVENTS ULD LEAD TO CRIMAL CHARG UNR S.B. 1438. JEFEY STERLG, CEO OF STONEWALL PRI INC. AND ANIZER OF WILTON MANORS STONEWALL PARA & STREET FTIVAL, CHOSE TO DRASTILLY CHANGE THE EVENT STAFF AND PERFORMERS’ DRS AND NDUCT S SO THAT CHILDREN ULD ATTEND WHOUT ANY POTENTIAL F OR JAIL TIME AGAST ANIZERS OR PARENTS. “NO BUTTOCKS, NO GENALS VISIBLE FOR FEMAL OR FEMALE-PRENTG PEOPLE WEARG PROSTHETIC OR FAKE BOOBS,” HE SAID. “THERE’LL BE NO VULGARY, NO SEXUALIZED LANGUAGE, NO TOUCHG YOURSELF A SEXUAL WAY. NO TOUCHG OTHERS A SEXUAL WAY. NO DANCG A SEXUALIZED WAY. SO IF YOU’RE AN EARLY MADONNA, THAT A’T GOG TO FLY. LATER MADONNA, WHERE SHE GOT OLR, IS MORE LIKE WHAT WE’RE TALKG ABOUT.” STERLG IS WORRIED ABOUT PRS PHOTOGRAPHERS FOCG ON ANY ACTN THEY SEE, RATHER THAN THE OVERALL FAY-IENDLY ENVIRONMENT. “EVERYTHG REPORTED THE PRS IS FODR TO FEED THE NNON OF (GOV. RON) DESANTIS. SO I JT ASKED THEM TO BE FAIR ON THAT,” HE SAID. “IF OUT OF 50,000 PEOPLE, THERE’S ONE SET OF BREASTS OUT, ACTUALLY, THAT’S PRETTY GOOD.” JOURNALISTS SHOULD ALSO ASK PERMISSN, PECIALLY OF PARENTS OF MORS, BEFORE PHOTOGRAPHG ANY CLOSE-UP OR INTIFIABLE IMAG. “OBVLY NSENT IS THE KEY WORD,” FENNG SAID. HAVE A PLAN FOR VLENCE IT’S IMPORTANT NEWSROOMS AND JOURNALISTS HAVE VERAGE PLANS FOR VLENCE AT PRI EVENTS. VLENCE IS NOT A FAR-FETCHED POSSIBILY. IN MARCH, POLICE ORLANDO SAID A TRAFFIC SIGN WAS TAMPERED WH TO READ “KILL ALL GAYS.” WHE NATNALIST ANIZATN THE PROUD BOYS HAVE ALREADY PUBLICIZED THEIR TENT TO VLENTLY DISPT PRI EVENTS, ACRDG TO MULTIPLE WATCHDOG ANIZATNS. DRAG EVENTS, PECIALLY THOSE FOR CHILDREN, HAVE BEEN THE TARGET OF HUNDREDS OF THREATS, TIMIDATN TACTICS AND ARMED PROTTERS. “CERTALY THERE’S AN CREASED CHANCE OF VLENCE AT ALL OF THE EVENTS THIS YEAR,” MCBRI SAID. “THE RHETORIC HAS BEEN SO HEATED AND PEOPLE HAVE BEEN SO EMBOLNED THAT I THK EVERYBODY NEEDS A NTGENCY PLAN FOR VERG SOME SORT OF OUTBREAK.” PRI ANIZERS AND PARTICIPANTS ARE WELL AWARE OF THE THREAT. “THERE IS A HEIGHTENED UNEASS” THIS YEAR, SAID FENNG, WHOSE ANIZATN PRISM WILL BE TABLG AT PRI EVENTS FLORIDA, WHERE A LAW JT PASSED ALLOWG PEOPLE TO RRY A NCEALED HANDGUN WHOUT A PERM. “THAT IS A MAJOR NCERN FOR A LOT OF PEOPLE AT PRI.” HE ANTICIPAT A SOMEWHAT BTERSWEET UNRTONE TO MANY PRI CELEBRATNS.
