Chain reaction, pine teacher and the promo with that annoying gay stereotype

Look at the new promo of Chain reaction On television he made us understand that, even today, we are still slaves to certain stereotypes that have been company for fifty years and that seem almost impossible to unhinge. One of these concerns the representation of homosexuality which, from films such as The vice to various types of television programs, for years it has almost always assumed the same form: that of the effeminate man who dresses only rose, who loves the DIY and launches screeching screams to attract attention. Although there is a lot more awareness today than before on the topic, a little sorry that a certain type of cliché continues incredibly to survive.

It happened, for example, with The me against you And that video that was to explain that Luì is not homosexual with Luì dressed as a woman with a blonde wig and lipstick on the lips, but also with, in fact, the new promo of Chain reactionwith Pine taught which, interpreting several Rai workers, at some point wears The role of a make -up artist … guess? Dress of rose, effective and with skilled doing. For a shy step forward that is done, representations of the genre will come to us dangerously behind trapping in an imaginary and in an equivalence – the one that sees homosexuality equal to a lack of femininityignoring the many shades that this orientation brings with it – that it would be the case to unhinge once and for all.

It is likely that Pino teach and the authors of the promo have made this representation in absolute goodfede, and the point is precisely this: It would be time to ask some more questions even about something that seems apparently innocent. Television is a very powerful means that comes to everyone: ask what a homosexual boy think when he sees that the advertising of Chain reaction General the homosexuality by flattening it behind an old and stale idea should be important.
