What types of media should we focus on? In discussing LGBT+ in the media, there’s no right or wrong form to focus on although the class will benefit from conversing on several different types. There may be a temptation to lean towards film and TV, as they have enjoyed increased representation LGBT+ individuals and LGBT+ storylines in recent years. Equally, any gamers in your class may like to talk about increased levels of LGBT+ representation in videogames in recent years. As long, as there is an angle for each of your students to contribute to the wider LGBT+ in the media discussion, you have an engagement point. From there, you may wish to refer your students to the code of conduct on the PowerPoint to guide their output in a healthy manner.
