Summary/Abstract: One of the social constructions of the media system is the sexual orientation of the members of the audience. In this paper, I want to reveal the complex nature of mass media’s sexual identity and orientation. I will briefly present the characteristics of some most common and popular representations in the mass media of “alternative” sexual identities and orientations, thus offering a perspective of their history and evolution.
