Gay Day

***For Race/Gender/Media***

I thought it was interesting how the video brought up the journey of gays and lesbians into the mainstream media.
Gay men used to be presented only if it had to do with HIV or AIDS. This is something you hardly see now. It has been replaced by gay parenting situations.
The presentation of GLBT people is a little reliant on stereotypes and sometimes it is sensitive to differences for people from different backgrounds.
I also thought it was interesting that even though Viacom launched LOGO in 2009 to create a gay niche, transgendered characters are still being symbolically annihilated.
