The first point of gay analytical guidelines is personal: Is that character gay? Is that character like me?

The second point is political: Is that a good way to represent me? How does that reflect on me?

The third is esthetic: Do I like being represented that way?

The fourth is psychological: Is what I am seeing the work of the oppressors, or the work of oppressed brothers and sisters; i.e., is this how they think?

The fifth is philosophical: Why do people represent other people that way? What does it do? Is it good or bad to represent people that way? In what way is it good and/or bad? How could it be improved?
