Abstract
This paper takes Season1, In My Skin as the case study. Through the textual analysis to onscreen significant moments, I will deeply highlight the contextualized expression of queer identity as adolescent symptom on Bethan, and the ways in which she deals with the panics towards this “shameful” identity. And these interpretations not only reflect the self-rescue of young homosexual just as imitating from the standpoint of other heterosexuals/homophobia, but also suggest that for the overall television landscape, queer presentations actually show signs of succumbing to heterosexual-centred order. In this regard, it must be acknowledged that the cultural struggle of LGBTQ grouping is still not optimistic.
