Homosexual
Hollyoaks
• In hollyoaks there are two homosexual girls who
start a relationship.
• However both of these girls go against the
stereotype of heterosexual females because
instead of being butch they are both extremely
feminine and girly.
• For example in the clip I was looking at, Tilly was
wearing a short blue dress with a pink ribbon in
her hear and you wouldn’t normally associate
this with heterosexual females.
• Therefore Hollyoaks challenges hegemony
Eastenders
• Eastenders also includes a heterosexual couple.
• Christian shows the stereotype of gay men
because he cares about his appearance and
works out. As well as this, he has a high pitched
voice that does not sound masculine.
• He also has typical behaviour of a heterosexual,
for example he makes a dramatic scene over
something so simple.
Eastenders
• This shows the contrast between straight and
gay characters, because in Eastenders the
heterosexual characters are shown as tough and
trouble makers.
• For Example, Phil is always getting into trouble,
and his look is a lot of rough for example his
shaven head, and the shirts and jeans he wears
makes him appear tough.
• As well as this, the jobs Christian and Phil do
show their sexuality as Christian works in a gym
again showing he cares about appearance
where as Phil owns a car garage, so he doesn’t
mind cracking down into a ‘mans’ job.
