While the show do dabble sensatnalism, also routely illtrat how gay and trans people are brazenly discrimated agast—and how sometim strangers n be surprisgly yterday's segment, a gay uple shows affectn at a rtrant Vicksburg, Mississippi. A long history of censorship and erasure has weighted the gay kiss wh meang and often exclud om view.
The growg prence of gay characters on televisn has not necsarily dited growg fort wh displays of same-sex affectn. Popular 1990s soap Melrose Place (1992-1999) was known for s steamy romanc, but gay character Matt only ever participated an ocsnal manly hug.
EQUAL RIGHT TO KISS? WHY YOU MAY BE DISGTED BY GAY BEHAVR WHOUT KNOWG IT
S- Will and Grace (1998-2006) went several seasons before gay character Will ever kissed a male partner. In cemas, the first gay kiss seen Atralia may well have been the Brish film Sunday, Bloody Sunday (1971), released lolly 1972.
But the arrival of that first gay screen kiss didn’t mean that thgs had changed forever. As late as 1993, the film Philalphia focsed on a gay male uple, one of whom was dyg of AIDS. Rather, my pot is that a long history of excludg same-sex affectn om public view and the refal to see or reveal queer liv has had specific effects on lbian, gay, bisexual, transgenr and queer (LGBTQ) people.
A study by the Atralian Human Rights Commissn found that, through the year 2012, verbal abe had been experienced by a quarter of all gay men and lbians, 47% of trans men and 37% of trans women. The pot of homophobic, biphobic and transphobic vlence is to enforce the ntued visibily of LGBTQ people.
