I agree with Sherman that the show The Outs does challenge the image of same sex relationships. I think we often see relationships of same sex to be all happy and easy, very much Hollywood style but as we can see in this film it's not all glamour. In fact relationships can be very messy as we saw here how it got messy and although in 2012 relationships of the same sex must have been a little harder, but now I feel as people are more accepting of the idea than they did back then. This show did a great job to show how it truly is for people and I think it's important to understand that in a way we all go through some of the same things when it comes to relationships, we saw that some people just want it for sex where as other's truly want something real.
