ABSTRACT
The research background of this article is different types of homosexual movies from different periods. The research topic is the impact of homosexual movies on social acceptance, as well as the similarities and differences between the portrayal of homosexuality in movies and reality, as well as the impact of these distances, and exploring whether they are good or bad. This article will calculate these distances and conclude by comparing story portrayal, character portrayal, and portrayal with real-life social allusions. Finally, this study found that most film and television works with a focus on homosexual culture do not differ significantly from reality in portraying this group. The impact of this has been proven to be very beneficial, as the nature of being close to life makes movies more touching, resonating, and deepening people's understanding of the LGBTQ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, or Queer) community. The realistic depiction is more appealing to people. The research also proves the impact of these movies on social acceptance. Film and television works that are close to reality have generally increased society's acceptance of homosexuality. On the contrary, if the LGBTQ population depicted in a movie is significantly different from real life, people tend to have a mediocre response to it. The significance of this article mainly lies in exploring the significance of homosexuality in film and television works, as well as its relationship with social attention and acceptance.
