LGBTQIA+ Representation in Media

Music, News & Politics, Youth

Are queer people well represented in film and television? Are producers and writers still relying on old-school stereotypes? And why are so many LGBTQIA+ characters played by heterosexual actors?

Jordan, Ritu and Charlie give their thoughts on how LGBTQIA+ people are represented in the media.

Plus, the Commonwealth Games has Paralympic athletes competing along side able-bodied athletes! Which is incredible!

And, as usual, heaps of music!
