This research will be guided by both queer theory and media theory, such as reception theory. The media can play a positive role in informing people, in Ireland the media played a significant role in recent times in representing non-normative identities. When analysing media content it is important to be objective and examine all points of view, this is necessary “in order to tease out the social contradictions and contestations embedded” (Saukko, P., 2003, 104). Another point made in the book Doing Cultural Studies research is that you have to bear in mind the social context of the media text you are interpreting looking at the historical and political context in which the media text occurs, with an “observation of contradictory agendas” (Saukko, P., 2003, 113). This research aims to look at the recent social changes in Irish society in relation to the media content on minority LGBTQ identities.
Still, this theory mainly applies to traditional media and only contains little research about its relation to social media. Moreover, it oversimplifies the changes in society, because it appears as if all media forms entail the same media logic. However, social media widely differ in their logic from for example print media.

Inspired by the last major investigation of the subject by Hanna Pitkin over four decades ago, this ambitious volume fills a major gap in the literature by examining the future of representative forms of democracy in terms of present-day trends and past theories of representative democracy. Aware of the pressing need for clarifying key concepts and institutional trends, the volume aims to break down barriers among disciplines and to establish an interdisciplinary dialogue among scholars. The contributors emphasise that representative democracy and its future is a subject of pressing scholarly concern and public importance. Paying close attention to the unfinished, two-century-old relationship between democracy and representation, this book offers a fresh perspective on current problems and dilemmas of representative democracy and the possible future development of new forms of democratic representation.

Nonetheless, it is crucial to understand that this doesn't mean that our lives are
