any ideas?

stuck already
okay so thinking about my subject i wanted to do an issue that i'm interested in and that i know i'm passionate about. so, i wanted to do something on gay rights but i really don't know what. I could focus on homophobia to make it a social issue but doesn't it have to take a sort of positive spin?

the stamps dont always need a positive spin on a subject, but i would think that you'd want to put one on this subject - e.g. communicate and educate the audience about gay rights and life as a gay person in 2008. you could look at statistics around homophobic crimes etc - clichés that the audience might have about being gay that need changing.
i think it's fair to say that things have changed with things like same-sex marriages being (almost) an every-day occurance in recent years, but is there still more that needs to be done to raise acceptance levels?
stick with the subject as having a passion about it will help. design has a (scarily) powerful part to play in shaping belief, in fact thats the biggest role of a designer in many peoples opinion, and you're task is to carefully select 4 messages that you feel needs to be communicated in order to do that.
start dividing the subject into 4, find stats / quotes etc on each of those 4 things, and think / work up ways of communicating them through your own design language which you developed last year.
hopefully that helps a bit.
