This article talkes about how media protrays the transgender boom to be like a revolution, following in the footsteps of slavery, feminists and homosexuals. It is an easy to read and clear article to write for people who are interested in transgender topics and how it relates to media and politics.

This article talks about how homosexuality and transgender may not only come to a person biologically but it is possible for there to be some contribution from the media. This seems like a really interesting article as well as a very readable one.

This article talks about how media is starting to show homosexuals in a positive light and we can see it becoming more and more prominent in shows such as Will and Grace. Readable piece and clearly laid out, good for anyone interested how media is portraying homosexuals these days.
