3. 17. Won’t Somebody Think of the (Queer) Children?! : Changing Representations of and Media Reactions to Same-Sex Attraction and Queer Relationships in British Teen Television, 1994 and 2019

   University essay from Linköpings universitet/Tema Genus

   Author : Louise Hallman; [2023]
   Keywords : Queer studies; TV studies; LGBTQ ; media representation; media reaction;
