This paper analyzes the role that the American tele
vision show
Glee
played when representing
the issue of homophobic bullying. From 2010 onwards
an awareness to solve the problem has
risen, and the consequent need to reform the school
systems. Focusing on the three most
significant episodes when considering the LGBT yout
h's visibility in television, an attention
will be given to aspects such as heterosexism or ho
mophobia as some of the main sources for
this controversy to keep occurring. This dissertati
on will question if
Glee
has been relevant in
causing the awareness of the said problem grow amon
g its audience.
