4. Why?

5. What examples of LGBT representation in the media and advertising are you aware of?



To target a specific LGBT audience for my questionnaire and try and get as many responses as possible I will contact LGBT groups, university societies etc. directly. 

Hi there, I am currently writing my dissertation on the subject of the representation of the LGBT community in the media/TV/film/advertising. I have set up an anonymous questionnaire specifically targeted at LGBT individuals and wondered if you could send the link to the members of your group to fill in? Thank-you Izzie





Points of contact for the questionnaire (found from contact with university SU's)

Final questionnaire - written so it can be inclusively answered by all - but will be directed more at an LGBT audience to get relevant information and answers.
