Dancing males scene

Lately, homosexuals have been introduced in movies as characters or actors. The first notable form of homosexuality in a film was in 1895, when two men danced together, this was commonly labeled online and in three published books as "The Gay Brothers." At this time, men weren't seen this way as effeminate or even flamboyant, but merely acting fanciful. Film critic Parker Tyler stated that the scene "Shocked audiences with the way both males had interacted." During the late XIX century, all movies depicted homosexuality with based conventions and stereotypes. Male characters who intended to be identified as gay were flamboyant, humorous and effeminate. During the Second World War and the subsequent  Cold War, Hollywood increasingly depcited gay men and women as sadists, psychopaths, ans nefarious, anti-social villains, this were driven by their "sexual perversion", as well as the fact that homosexuality was classified as a mental illness and gay men and women were often harassed by the police. It was until 1970, when the first attempt of Hollywood to market a film to gay consumers and present an honest look at what it meant to be a gay or bisexual man in America, it is called "The Boys in the Band." Even though there are some people who seem to dislike them, nowadays, the homosexual concept is being more and more accepted in our society.
