30. Discussion Questions
Do
you
think
that
presenting
sexual
relationship
among
the
gay
characters
in
these
shows,
will
increase
audiences’
understanding
of
the
gay
community,
or
rather
decrease
their
understanding
and
create
stereotypes
on
the
gay
community
as
being
promiscuous?

episodes

• Since
many
subjects
&
characters

variations
• Not
analyzed
shows
about
Transgender
• Might
be
different
depending
upon
genres
