Writing Question

Hi,

I am attaching everything needed for my Manifesto Assignment for LGBTQS M114 (Introduction to LGBTQ Studies). Please read this carefully because this assignment has very specific requirements and grading criteria.

DUE DATE: Sunday Feb 15, 2026 at 11:59pm
Total Points: 100

I have uploaded ALL required PDFs and course materials to this Google Drive folder:

Please use that folder as the primary source for course materials.

THIS ASSIGNMENT HAS THREE PARTS:

PART 1: ORIGINAL MANIFESTO (30%)

Create an original manifesto that:

• Boldly expresses a clear vision of a just/ideal society.
• Includes sexuality and/or gender in that vision.
• May include race, class, immigration, health, etc.
• Connects to historical manifestos studied in class.
• Engages seriously and creatively with course themes.
• Clearly relates past manifesto traditions to the present moment.

The format is open (written, poetic, visual + text, script, etc.), but it must contain text and be thoughtful and intentional.

PART 2: CONTEXT ESSAY (12501500 words, 56 pages double spaced) (30%)

The essay must:

1. Explain WHY the manifesto was created in that form
   • Why that format was chosen
   • Why those issues were included
2. Discuss at least FIVE manifestos total
   • At least TWO must be outside manifestos (not from class)
   • The rest can be from class

Manifestos from class that count:

• Mattachine Society statement
• One Inc.
• Daughters of Bilitis
• The 5 manifestos in the Manifesto Packet (Week 4)
• Combahee River Collective Statement (Week 5)
• Queer Nation Manifesto (Week 6)

1. Include substantial reference to at least TWO additional course readings (not manifestos). These PDFs are in the Google Drive folder.
2. Clearly explain connections between:
   • Historical manifestos
   • Course readings
   • My original manifesto
   • The present political/social moment

PART 3: WORKS CITED PAGE (10%)

• MLA format
• Cite all outside manifestos and external research
• DO NOT cite course readings or manifestos that were provided on BruinLearn
