Film-it's a tie between
The Crying Game and
Brokeback Mountain. Probably Crying Game slightly more, as I saw it umpteen times. I know now that that's when I started figuring things out for myself. The first time I saw it left me shattered.
Book-
Animal Farm, in high school. I thought it would be a stupid story. I could add Shirley Jackson's
The Lottery, which I read in the same class. When I started reading that story, I thought it would be the dumbest thing ever. A bunch of people gathering in a park. My teacher didn't fool around with insipid stuff.
If art counts, then my own art, in a way
. I was a life model in college. My posing assignments certainly weren't sexual, but I was amazed at the disconnect between how I felt my body looked, and what came out on the students' canvasses. I thought they had the wrong person. I try to remember that experience now, when I have aging and sexual issues.
That's a really hard question, so repeat, please
