About Welcome to ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/community.gif)
queer_as_tv!
My name is
![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif){kind=small}
bayamiod and I'm a graduate student at the University of Texas. I'm currently pursuing a M.A. in Media Studies. My current interests include how visibility and representation of queer characters on television can impact audience attitudes toward the GLBT community. As part of a graduate school project I've opened this online community to invite discussion about gay/lesbian/bisexual/transgender character visibility and representation on U.S. narrative television. Current and former shows will be featured.
If you're looking for a place to learn more about queer characters on American television then this is the place for you. Anyone interested in celebrating the increasing visibility of the GLBT community on television invited to participate. In the weeks ahead look for some of the following:
1)current storyline recaps & discussion
2)histories of queer characters of yesteryear
3)fan favorite polls
4)scholarly info regarding the impact of queer representation in media
5)discussions about stereotypes and "fair/accurate" portrayals of glbt characters
