Sexuality Representation..

Sexuality Representation..

 


 I chose the character 'Kurt' from the TV show Glee as my representation of sexuality. I chose to use Kurt as my example of sexuality representation in the media, because in Glee the character of Kurt is gay and I think that the programme represents Kurt in a positive way because of his sexuality, all though the character is singled out in parts by people because of his sexuality, the TV show, shows that Kurt being gay and having a different sexuality to others inst a bad thing and change that around to make him a better character and gain new friends, I  think this is a good representation of sexuality in the media, because it is a positive representation and connects to other people in this characters situation.


The only negative part about the sexuality representation, is that the programme Glee has made the character Kurt a very stereotypical gay person, being part of the school singing club, they have made him act like a diva, sing quite girly songs, dress up as women, wear make up and really focused on fashion. These are all the kind of stereotypical views people have on gay people and the kind of things they like, which is negative as it is very stereotypical and not necessarily a true reflection of all gay people.
