Resumen
Same-sex marriage was legalized in the United States in 2015 as a consequence of a shift in the public opinion regarding its acceptance. This shift coincided with the emergence of television series with LGBT characters in leading roles. The objective of this project is to examine the positive effect that one of these series, Glee, might have had in that legalization. For this purpose, the most relevant theoretical approaches, such as those based in the contact hypothesis or the parasocial interaction theory, have been analyzed. This analysis has led to the conclusion that there is an agreement on the beneficial effects of televised depictions of homosexual characters, albeit recognizing that this exposure is not the only factor responsible for the shift in public opinion.
