Soaps don't seem to have any female teenagers/young adults in a coming out story, it always seems to be males?
Thoughts? Last edited by Will.; 06-02-2016 at 05:37 PM. |

EastEnders:
2014 - Johnny 2015 - Paul introduced as a young gay male. 2016 - Focusing on Ben coming out (although I swear he came out ages ago) |

I think it's just hollyoaks that seems to be heavily tipped towards gay males (ste, JP, that scouse one, whatever parry glasspools character is called - versus Esther... and that's it). It seems fairly equal in emmerdale, coronation street and eastenders.

i think there are only a few hundred lesbians in Britain so I guess as they are rare they dont feature so much?
Clare Balding is their leader |

I don't really watch soaps, but Big Brother definitely has more gay men compared to lesbians. Would be interesting to know the ratio.

In relation to LGBT characters, Coronation Street has a majority of gay females compared to other soaps.

Aren't gay men more common than gay women? I know only one lesbian whereas I know about 40 gay guys

TV has more lesbian characters than gay ones. They don't necessarily come out as they are already well-established. Being gay is still taboo and is why coming out scenes for males are shown more.

Just in general, gay men seem to be much more prevalent in the media than gay women.

It does seem about equal on Corrie but I do think EastEnders heavily slants toward gay males. There's been the likes of Sonia, Tina, and Tosh in the past two years but they've all been fully-grown adults, who would've presumably accepted their sexuality. All the coming out stories in recent years have revolved around males (Ben, Johnny).

Also, Paul never had a coming out story. Like Tina, he came in as a gay character who was already out. Last edited by Marsh.; 07-02-2016 at 02:51 PM. |

You're just watching the wrong programmes, there's loads of lessies in porn.
What I don't get with the male gays is why do they have to be camp? |

..that's interesting as well, that it would be more males because the first one that I recall was Brookside and Anna Friel/Beth Jordache and Margaret, I think the other character was...Anna became a 'lesbian pin-up' with that storyline...
