I am writing today to talk about the alarming problem with the LGBT community. The LGBT community consists of Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people. The media represents the LGBT community as abnormal. In this speech, I am going to explain how the LGBT community is represented in this way. Why do we think we are more eligible than the LGBT community? The media depicts the LGBT community as an outcast, a group that is irregular, and unusual compared to everyone else. Throughout the presentation, I will be addressing how the media portrays the LGBT community in a negative way.
A lot of movies perceive people of the LGBT community to be seen as unnatural. Some movies such as the Adventure of Priscilla, and Queen of the Desert. Does represent the LGBT community in a negative way. Two drag performers and a transgender woman travel across the desert to perform their unique style of cabaret. They agree to perform a drag show at a resort in Alice Springs, a town in the remote desert. Throughout the movie, the 2 drag performers and the transgender women are seen as peculiar and somewhat unnatural. Many people in the country in 1994 did not frequently see men like this. In this movie, the producer displays negativity toward the LGBT community. The producer displays the men as outcasts. Different from everyone else. A problem in this world. The movie does not represent the realness of the LGBT community. The emotive language was used to influence the audienceâs views on the LGBT community.
The media is publicizing the LGBT community negatively through various articles and documentaries. This documentary shown here demonstrates the negativity concerning values and beliefs towards the LGBT community. It displays how the community of Warwick perceives the LGBT community. The town is not opposed to same-sex marriage. The community explains why they think same-sex marriage is not acceptable. Mainly men have been asked questions about same-sex marriage by reporter Patrick Abboud, they believe that children should not be educated about same-sex marriage, as it will be a threat to our society in 20 to 30 years time. The Liberal National MP, David Littleproud, says this should be based on respect but gay men and women arenât feeling respect from the town and the Liberal MP. 143000 voices across, 731000km2 that told pollsters at least half of them feel like this, homosexuality is not excepted by God (Abboud, 2016). The men and women who believe that same-sex marriage isnât tolerable arenât respectable towards the men and women who are lesbian or gay. This affects peopleâs lives; Young LGBT people are 4 times more likely to attempt suicide than any other people on social media. This affects the LGBT community and proves that the media does have a negative impact on marginalized groups. The town’s viewpoint was used to influence the audienceâs perspective of the LGBT community.
The government isnât providing support for the education of the LGBT community. There are various numbers of articles and news reports that state countless problems with how the government displays the media. Sky News courted out the government and Labour that failed to reach an agreement on a bill that would outlaw schools from discriminating against students based on their sexuality. The government wasnât concerned about this situation when it should have been. Up to 80% of homophobic bullying occurs at school. This is something that the Labour and Government should really be apprehensive about. The audience interpretations of the LGBT community as irresponsible, immature, and immoral.
Did you know that half of all gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender people hide their sexual orientation or gender identity from the media as they fear violence or discrimination? Why does social media display the LGBT community as a marginalized group? Social media is a vast part of our world. There are many haters on social media who mainly aim at the LGBT community. Pink news displayed a young man Stuart Bonds. . In the clip, he confirmed, âThe only thing worse than a gay person with power is a woman. I donât have a woman boss and I donât have a gay boss, and thereâs a reason for that.â (Bonds, 2019). This demonstrates disrespect to the LGBT community. No man or woman should judge anyone in that matter. Social media definitely has an effect on the LGBT community.
Consequently, the LGBT community is viewed in a negative way. The media perceives the LBGT community as abnormal and a sickness. I minority. The emotive language was used to influence the audience. The audience viewed the LGBT community in a negative way.  Â
