The article I found this week talks about the modernization of homosexuality in the media. I found this article to be a good starting point to what I am going to be talking about for most of my blogs.Throughout the article the author talks about how on television, in the music industry, and major people involved in the production of media are homosexual and are being embarrassed for it. A huge example brought up in the article is about Ellen Degeneres and how she has her own show for the last 10 years, she has one of the most famous daytime television shows. Before the 21st century having an open homosexual on TV would be frowned upon let alone having a homosexual person hosting their own show. This article goes on to talk about Modern Family and The Office and how they depict homosexual lifestyles in a positive fashion; the basis for Modern Family is about three "modern" families and how they go about their daily lives. Having a homosexual couple included as being a "modern" family just shows how far the homosexual movement has come in the media. Reading this article is making me eager to continue researching this topic and giving you more information. But for now, I would say that this article is a good place to start.

The topic I chose is homosexuality, I decided to pick this one because it interested me the most. Mrs. Wren made it seem very appealing during class and made me want to learn more about how much homosexuality has changed over the last few decades. As well as, how it is portrayed in the media now compared to how it was before.
