- Abstract
This paper is a study of sexual minorities, including lesbians, gays, bisexuals, and transgender, which are called LGBT. As a marginalized group, their image is largely influenced by the mimetic environment created by the media. So This paper focuses on the construction of the image of the LGBT community from news media, social media, and film these three perspectives. It is hoped that can enhance public understanding of the LGBT community and provide a theoretical reference for research in the LGBT field. Based on extensive references to previous literature, this paper mainly summarizes the perspectives of the literature and analyze the current situation of the LGBT community. We will discuss the presentation and influence of different media on LGBT groups from news media, social media and films. As an official media, news media has stereotypes about LGBT groups. Social media shows the public’s perception of LGBT and identity of the LGBT community themselves. As a kind of art media, film shows the psychological characteristics and social difficulties of LGBT groups, and always end with tragedies. Through these different media and voices, we will understand the LGBT groups more roundly and empathize with them, which will help us put aside prejudice and treat everyone equally.
