An example of gay people on television is on Eastenders. This is shown between Christian and Syed. This an example of how hard it is for a gay relationship to work in a modern day society. It also shows how hard it is for someone to come to terms with their sexuality in their adult years. This is shown with Syed
Syed Masood (Marc Elliot)At first Syed lived as a straight person but then when he met Christian he started to feel different. Slowly, he started to come to terms with his sexuality but what made it even harder was that has is from a muslim family and in their religion, being gay can't happen and is wrong. Eventually, Syed divorced his wife and started a relationship with Christian but at the cost of being disowned by his family and the local muslim community. This is an example of a modern gay relationship.
Another example of a gay person a television is on the show Glee. Glee shows how going through school whilst being gay is and the complications of bullying and discrimination in schools. Also a lot of people see Glee as a show for girls or for gays. Well, its not because I watch it and I'm not gay.
Kurt Hummel (Chris Colfer)Kurt Hummel is shown as a character who is proud of who he is and is openly gay. But he struggles in life with all the bullying he recieves from the school "jocks". He has a little group of friends mainly from the glee club but this is because people are afraid of being around him as they don't want to be bullyed also. He transfers schools to get away from the bullies, at his new school he meets someone called Blaine who is also gay. He eventually comes back to what appears a more supportive school community. But there are still minorities that don't accept him which shows how narrow-minded people are towards this.
