Extract 5 : Representation Of Sexuality 'Eastenders'

I think that looking at soap operas such as Eastenders is a great way to see how sexuality is represented as there are story lines that follow characters whose sexuality is an 'issue' in some way.

The extract below is when Johnny Carter 'comes out' to his dad.



Extract 4 : Representation Of Sexuality 'Lip Service'

Not exactly an extract - this is the entire first episode of the 2nd series of the BBC3 drama series following the lives of a group of lesbians in Glasgow.

The first 5 minutes are interesting to analyse but it is worth watching more if you can - focus on stereotypical and counter typical representations and don't forget to consider how heterosexual characters are represented too.
