About the DETECTIVE "Details some forms of our oppression (and self oppression) takes. But all the same, it cannot hemp but reproduce the dominant image of gays"

(From Jump Cut no.18, August   1978,  A Review on Contemporary Media 1978,2005)

What this quote suggests initially it how society is often manipulated to make us think the we as a society are taking a step forward in the concept of how homosexuality in films or Tv however are still conveying our stereotypical ideology of gays. Taking the view from my case study of Louis Spence from the programme Pineapple dance studios, although this is a 'reality' show having this grotesque persona as a central 'character' focus' on this particular stereotype making it more noticeable to the audience and reinforcing the ideology that already exists of this. It often paints a positive image of gays seeing Louis Spence as a successful man and how his overly exaggerated gay persona sells to it's audience more than the show and his sexuality itself.
