What do you think about the way gender and sexual minorities are represented in the media? How do you think it affects the opinion s non-LGBT people hold about people on the LGBT spectrum?
IMHO, There's not a lot of representation, and most of what is out there is either stereotyped or done subtly without any mention so it's as good as no representation.
I think lack of representation contributes to a lack of education, both among non-LGBT people and people who don't realise they are LGBT because they have never seen or heard of someone like them before.
It still upsets me that the wiki page for "fictional asexuals" is limited to three people - one of which is a talking sponge and another is a sociopathic serial killer.
