The media portrays a person’s sexual identity in many ways through television, books and magazines. There are many TV shows that tell you its better to be straight while there are some television shows that tell you its okay to be gay. Shows such as Will and Grace show you the life of gay men who go through dating issues and relationship issues just like a normal straight couple. Will and Jack are both gay however Jack’s character is portrayed as the queen while Will’s character is more of a man. Also on the talk show Ellen, Ellen is gay and she is very open about her sexual identity because she wants her audience to know and understand there is nothing to be ashamed of no matter if you are straight or gay. Ellen teaches people to be proud of whom they are and to never be ashamed or try to hide any part of you. As well, in magazines there are often boy and girl couples featured in ads which shows young children the norm is to be straight and that there is something wrong with you if you like someone your own gender. I think teachers and parents should be supportive of any child who is straight or gay and help them embrace their sexual identity rather than be ashamed of it.
