I am going to research gay and lesbian stereotypes in the media and how they are changing. I am going to try to conduct an interview with the head of an Oregon homosexuality awareness group this weekend. The television shows and movies I am planning on using to support my argument right now are “Queer Eye for the Straight Guy,” “Will and Grace,” and “Brokeback Mountain.” While I am writing my article, I am going to keep in mind the Index for an audience, so I can be clear about whom I am writing to. I want to write about this topic because I have been noticing over the last few years that gay people are being taken more seriously in the media, and I want to explore why that is. I plan on reviewing the movies and television shows I mentioned above to try to find ideas and quotes to bring up in my article and I will discuss them with people on campus.

y'know i thought Brokeback Mountain was a really stereotypical film when it was released and my friends laughed at me for it.
i'm glad somebody's tackling this VERY prevalent issue.
This is a good topic and I really like the media that you have picked out to analyze - a reality show, TV show, and a movie..good diversity. Also, good luck with the interviews - it should be interesting to see the results!
