Is the representation of visual material solely dependent upon the media, or is the framing of LGBT people always fraught with questions of inequality and injustice? In their article, ‘Coming Out of the Closet, Also on the News? A Longitudinal Content Analysis of Patterns in Visibility, Tone, and Framing of LGBTs on Television News (1986 -2017)’ (2020), Laura Jacobs and Cecil Meeusen map the framing of LGBT people in Flanders, Belgium. Informed by recent arguments against discrimination towards homosexuality (Gerhards 2010; Hooghe and Meeusen 2013), and LGBT representation (Redman 2018), Jacobs and Meeusen interrogate the visibility of LGBT people in Belgian mainstream media.
