LGTBIQfobia audiovisual: La ocultación de colectivos sexualmente diversos en Disney
2021
La LGTBIQfobia supone una barrera para la normalización de colectivos sexualmente diversos. Productos como los audiovisuales Disney dificultan esta tarea ya que la compañía tiende a ocultarlas. De esta manera se frena el desarrollo de una ciudadanía más tolerante y respetuosa con la diferencia desde las primeras edades. En la educación hay una preocupación latente por erradicar el bullying LGTBIQfóbico.

Despues, exponemos criticamente el sentido de las ultim…
