Abstract

Gender and sexuality have been discussed vigorously where equality is applied to anyone at any aspects possible. The issues have existed for good period of time as reflected in literary works across years, decades, even centuries. This research looked at two literary objects that span almost a century difference – Hall’s novel The Well of Loneliness (1928) and Dolan’s film Laurence Anyways (2012) – and YouTube as social media platform. Qualitative approach is used in the goals of finding (1) the definition of the perverse and the normal, (2) the social construction and acceptance within literary works, and (3) the reflection in social media today. This research found the difference in social construction is due to shifts in timespan from the early 20th century and the early 21st century; but social approval is still sought by people then and now, through social media platforms.
