Identifying With a Stereotype: The Divergent Effects of Exposure to Homosexual Television Characters.
Scholars examining homosexual television characters have typically come to one of two conclusions: either exposure to homosexual characters can lead to increased acceptance, or homosexual characters serve to reaffirm negative stereotypes.

Results from our national survey (N = 972) offer support for this hypothesis.
