Abstract

There is a current interest in implementing education programmes to reduce prejudice towards gay individuals. This study investigates how adolescents recognise gay stereotypes in characters and how video-on-demand series could be utilised to reduce bias in Spain and Mexico. Six focus groups (Spain: (1) gay, (2) heterosexual, (3) LBTQ+; Mexico: (4) gay, (5) heterosexual, (6) LBTQ+) are used to explore the main stereotypes, to analyse how they are perceived in serialised fiction and to investigate their potential use in education programmes. The thematic analysis reveals that the primary stereotypes identified by young Mexicans and Spaniards are associated with femininity and perversion, as well as the belief that the main factors that encourage these stereotypes are religion and politics. LBTQ+ participants are also more critical of the depictions than heterosexuals. Education programmes should not only target young people but also engage the individuals and institutions that are close to them.

教育计划中的视频点播系列，以消除青少年对男同性恋的成见

目前，人们对实施教育计划以减少对同性恋者的偏见很感兴趣。本研究调查了西班牙和墨西哥青少年如何识别角色中的同性恋刻板印象，以及如何利用视频点播系列减少偏见。通过六个焦点小组（西班牙：(1) 同性恋，(2) 异性恋，(3) LBTQ+；墨西哥：(4) 同性恋，(5) 异性恋，(6) LBTQ+）来探讨主要的刻板印象，分析连载小说是如何看待这些刻板印象的，并调查其在教育计划中的潜在用途。主题分析表明，墨西哥和西班牙青年认为主要的陈规定型观念与女性化和变态有关，并认为助长这些陈规定型观念的主要因素是宗教和政治。与异性恋者相比，LBTQ+ 参与者对这些描述的批判性也更强。教育计划不仅要针对年轻人，还要让与他们关系密切的个人和机构参与进来。
