What are your thoughts about the LGBT community being represented in the media?

I ignore most of current day representations, i aesthetically prefer the olden days of daring flamboyency (spelled that wrong i bet). Was reading some reviews on one of my favorite films the other day - In a Year With 13 Moons, and was taken aback at how strongly people disagree with it based on what it means to be "trans", so for me in that sense the trend is going off a little, taking too personally things that should be seen in a more accurate context. People also do this for films with say a scene with black face and trees messing with helpless ladies (Evil Dead), yep, to summarize my thoughts, folks gotta lighten up!
