Sexuality presented through the media

The Naked Civil Servant (1975)
Sexuality is presented in many different ways through the media, in both negative and positive views. The Naked Civil Servant is a TV movie about the life of Quentin Crisp (born Denis Pratt) and how he dealt with his homosexuality in the 60s when it was seen as completely outrageous and wrong. 

The film targets how those who practised or revealed their homosexuality were treated and seen as strange/unnatural, and also how Quentin was very open about his sexuality and acted flamboyantly without caring for the criticism that he got.
