Examples of how homosexual males
and females are portrayed in TV
Drama:
Lesbians: Shane Mccutcheon
Shane Mccutcheon in the US drama The L Word
conforms to the stereotype of a homosexual
woman.
This is seen in one clip as she has quite a deep
voice; her costume consists of quite baggy male
clothes (including a bowler hat) and is seen to
be uninterested with typically girly activities
such as shopping and taking great care in
materialistic appearance.
This shows that she conforms to the stereotype
of being quite butch and manly yet because
she's in a show which is centred on a group of
lesbian/bi people, her characteristics are most
likely present to show that there is variation in
sexuality and some people can conform to
stereotypes.
