My Topic (Jeswena) !

Okayh, so I am doing a research on the portrayal of gays and lesbians/Homosexuals in Hollywood movies and the reaction of society on this portrayal. My research is about the kind of Homosexual portrayals there are in the media, such as in Hollywood movies nowadays. Compared to back then, where it was taboo to even have a Homosexual character in a movie. Lately, there have been more Homosexual oriented films as well as Homosexual characters in films.

Most Homosexual roles in movies nowadays are minor roles and the story is not based on these characters. In Malaysia, they would only screen these types of movies which contains Homosexual characters in the cinema and television. The movies which are Homosexual based and have Homosexuals starring in it as well as having the whole movie based on Homosexuality are not opened to be screened here in this country due to the culture, religion and other beliefs. It is a country where Homosexuality is definitely still a huge taboo.
