ภาพลักษณ์ของกลุ่มชายรักร่วมเพศที่สะท้อนจากเนื้อหาในหนังสือพิมพ์รายวันไทยช่วงปี พ.ศ.2508-2543 / ฐิติกร เตรยาภรณ์ = The image of male homosexuals as reflected in the content of Thai daily newspapers during 1965-2000 / Thitikorn Trayaporn
The purpose of this research was to study and compare images of male homosexuals as reflected in the content of Thai daily newspapers during 1965-2000 and to determine if the images cause, maintain or reinforce negative stereotypes and anti-homosexual opinions in the society. Content analysis was conducted on 702 samples, found in 11 male homosexuals-related news stories during 1965-2000 in Thai Rath and Siam Rath newspapers. The result of the research is that Thai daily newspapers portray negative images; 1) appearance and gesture and 2) behavior, and also publish derogatory contents regarding theme and te cause of homosexuality. Consequently, these images and contents cause, maintain or reinforce negative stereotypes and anti-homosexual opinion in Thai society. The newspapers, however, generally present neutral comments and opinions of news sources which don't cause, maintain, or reinforce negative stereotypes and anti-homosexual opinion of Thai society.
