Review: Life as a lesbian in Margaret Thatcher’s Britain

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:20:00 GMT

By Lindsey Bahr | Associated PressA high school gym teacher grappling with her sexual identity is challenged on both a micro and macro level in 1988 England in ” Blue Jean,” a quietly complex portrait of compartmentalization and self-actualization.In October 1987, British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher gave a speech in which she bemoaned the state of education and said that “Children who need to be taught to respect traditional moral values are being taught that they have an inalienable right to be gay.” This was just part of her critique of the state of education and the agenda of “extremist teachers” pushing “political slogans” and “anti-racist mathematics” who are cheating children out of a “sound start in life.” By May of 1988, a law was passed (Section 28) that would “prohibit the promotion of homosexuality” and would remain in effect in some form until 2003. Don’t worry if the law doesn...

Cowboys shuffling the Smiths as they face question of fielding 5 best linemen

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:20:00 GMT

FRISCO, Texas (AP) — Tyron Smith finally spent some time late this offseason at left tackle, the position he played in all eight of his Pro Bowl seasons with the Dallas Cowboys.The subsequent shift of Tyler Smith to left guard put the 2022 first-round draft pick back where he was a year ago before he moved to the left side after Tyron Smith tore a hamstring and missed the first three months of the season. If the Cowboys are healthy on the offensive line and want to play their best five, it’s likely to mean putting off the long-term plan of Tyler Smith protecting Dak Prescott’s blind side, particularly when Terence Steele has recovered from a knee injury and is ready to play right tackle again.“Luckily, just having those reps last year, it’s nothing new,” Tyler Smith said. “I think it’s good for staying sharp and having the best five out there. That’s really the point of emphasis right now is making sure we have those best five.”Two spots are settled as the Cowboys pursue...
