Establishing that the media consistently takes symbols and codes from a minority group's culture and uses these codes to represent the group. These findings are then applied to the LGBTQI community to reveal how the community has been represented by the media.

Therefore, the media's representation has also changed from a stereotypical to an accurate representation of LGBTQI culture. [Abstract] ER -
