The Adventures of Priscilla Queen of The Desert and The Birdcage share their views on the issues facing gay drag. I found Priscilla to have less of a flair for the dramatic, because it depicted the real life realities faced with being homosexual on a day to day basis. Whether it was finding love, or sometimes dealing with harsh homophobia. I found this movie more relatable with my everyday life. The Birdcage had its moments where I could identify with some of the characters, but I found it to be more of a laugh riot. Whether it was comical or dramatic it sent the same message to me, it’s not who we’re attracted to that makes us a person but what’s inside us that counts.
I believe the reason for losing touch with history is that it is already in a history book, and is talked about so much in school that it loses its personal touch. So we don’t receive that much of an impact about the events we read. However, if MHS continues to do this then I believe people will be interested in learning more about history and interested to know their own family history that they have never known.

And addressing major Valley issues, like graduation rates, drugs and alcohol, safe streets and healthy communities, is a big responsibility. Meet the youth leaders who are succeeding in their goals to make their current community a thriving place for their future.
