TV Gets Gayer & Gayer: What’s the Real Impact?
Earlier this year, a University of Minnesota study suggested that TV shows that portray LGBT people in a positive light, such as “Will & Grace” and “Queer Eye for the Straight Guy,” can help reduce homophobia in the United States, yet anti-gay hate crimes have increased over the past two years. And with all-LGBT TV networks broadcasting now, pro-LGBT portrayals are at an all-time high. What can we expect such visibility to achieve in the lives of LGBT and non-LGBT Americans in the years to come?
