'Stereotypes of gays and lesbians such as the queen and dyke reproduce norms of gendered heterosexuality because the indicate that the homosexual man or woman falls short of the heterosexual norm,: that they can never be a 'real' man or woman.''
- just because of a persons sexuality, they cannot be 'real' if they do not fit the norm in society.
'A theoretical critique of stereotypes helps to explain the normative and normalizing effects of heterosexual hegemony. The question is therefore no how to get rid of stereotypes (as they are both efficient and resilient), nor how to replace them with positive images (which leave the heterosexist imperative intact), but how to achieve complexity, diversity, and self-definition)'
- How do we represent homosexuality in a different way to the normal stereotypes that are presented in film?
