gender and sexuality in film

my subtopic that i will be reseraching on is gender and sexuality in films. this topic is very interesting to me and i feel that i can find some very interseting things from this. "In a hundred years of movies, homosexuality has only rarely been depicted on the screen. When it did appear, it was there as something to laugh at -- or something to pity -- or even something to fear." These sentences was taken from a source of research and in my opinion i feel that homosexuality in movies is more for people to laugh at them more than to show the world that homosexuality should be accepted in our society.  when you view a homosexual movie writers tend to make it more of a comedy than to show that homosexual relationships are socially acceptable. "Gay jokes are still so common in American movie comedies that most of them barely register." I believe that by far every gay movie has tried to show that gay people deserve to have movies with romance and love in it also just as heterosexual love movies. But it is common in society to just laugh at homosexual actions than to embrace them this is why heterosexual love movies are viewed as romantic and everyone wants that love, but homosexual love movies are a joke to people or they think it is disgusting to look at.
