LGBTQ media
LGBTQ media or queer media is media created by LGBTQ individuals or groups or for which the primary target audience is LGBTQ people. LGBTQ representation in popular media can influence the self-perceptions of LGBTQ people, especially youth.
The first gay journal in the world, Der Eigene, was published in Berlin beginning in 1896. However, for the most part, LGBTQ media emerged in the 20th century, with creators tending towards self-published media due to restrictions and censorship in corporate media. Radio, magazines, newspapers, zines, and public-access television are some such avenues that LGBTQ creators and activists have used. With the rise of the internet, LGBTQ media has also found a home online, with podcasts and internet radio being accessible to a larger audience than traditional print or broadcast media.
LGBTQ media is used for a variety of purposes, including to share news or educational material, for entertainment, and for self-expression.
Some LGBTQ media is created by out LGBTQ individuals or groups of out LGBTQ people. LGBTQ creators do not always include LGBTQ themes or issues in the media that they produce, but there are often at least subtle references to queerness in these media. LGBTQ media may also be defined by its intended target audience; under this definition, LGBTQ media is created for a primary target audience is LGBTQ people. LGBTQ+ allies are a secondary target audience, and in some instances, as a form of activism, LGBTQ media may also target an audience of people who oppose gay rights.
There have been both positive and negative representations of gay people across popular media, including film, television, literature, press, etc.
LGBTQ representation in the media is powerful, particularly for youth. There have been studies that have shown that media can have an influence on LGBTQ+ people's self-realization, coming out, and current identities.
Namibian LGBTQ organization The Rainbow Project has broadcast the radio show Talking Pink in the country since 1999.
In 2018, Shams Rad was founded in the country's capital,Tunis; the station is the self-proclaimed "only gay radio station" in the Arab world. The station airs music and programs discussing LGBTQ issues, but presenters do not "identify themselves as sexually active on air" due to laws in Tunisia that criminalize homosexuality. The station is partially funded by the Dutch embassy. Station director Bouhdid Belhedi has reported receiving death threats for his part in the station.
