portrayals of sexual minorities  

Definición

  • When sexual minorities are portrayed in the mass media, these portrayals generally exclude children or adolescents, either questioning their sexuality or identified as homosexual. Although occasionally high school students or other under-18-year-old characters are depicted as gay, lesbian, bisexual, or transgendered (GLBT), various fears about mixing adolescence and homosexuality have prevented a more full exploration of this topic.
