In the interview Gino talks about how gay stereotypes are not portrayed well, if it’s about education then researchers should follow the advice from the professionals to ensure the correct message is sent out to the viewers rather than over blown assumptions that the community bases itself around sex, camp and outlandish story lines.

The media needs to understand that “the majority” just simply live their lives, why is there the need for this ongoing battle of the first gay couple, gay kiss or even mixed religions to stir the fire when in fact it is not required. This is not good TV this promotes and enhances hatred and ruins all the good work campaigners and the community offer to make everyones life “normal”

Gino continues “Educate yourselves and portray the community in the right light, be truthful and honest about the scenes and people will see a better side and understand some of the issues we as a community face rather than basing a story line for the ratings”
