Representation



The definition of representation is:
  1. The action of speaking or acting on behalf of someone or the state of being so represented.
  2. The description or portrayal of someone or something in a particular way or as being of a certain nature.

This character from Coronation street is an over-the-top "camp" character. You can tell this by his stereotypical feminine voice and the way he walks. Furthermore the way he dresses very smart and other times were he wears the most bizarre costumes.
This is a bad representation on homosexuals because he would make people that watch Coronation Street believe that all homosexuals are like this. When statistically you can only tell 1 out of 10 men that are homosexual, you can tell are homosexual.




One thing about camp characters especially male people avoid them or give them dirty looks as people can not understand why they would date the sex.

In early episodes of Coronation Street there are not many races. The most common race was white people compared to today where we have a multicultural  society in England.
