Angry Feminist

What started out as a comedy show gradually revealed itself to a serious commentary on the problems facing the LGBTQ community. I found myself laughing, and snapping, and tearing up with the people around me as I watched this show. Hannah Gadsby really understood how to engage the audience exactly when she wanted to, communicating her thoughts and experiences while also giving us our own space to think about our societal attitude to those who do not identify as heterosexual. I’ve always been a feminist, but after this show, I was angry. This show made me feel angry for people, like Hannah, who have been mocked, mistreated, and abused because of their sexuality and identity. I left the show with a flame lit inside me that wanted to do something to change the current climate surrounding this issue, and make life feel a little more safe for people who feel lost and hopeless.
