The Theme of Homosexuality in the Works of W.S. Burroughs
CHLOUPÝ, Martin
The Bachelor's thesis deals with the analysis and literary interpretation of three works of William Seward Burroughs: the novels Junkie (1953), Naked Lunch (1959) and Queer (1985). The starting point of the thesis is a description of the Beat generation and the author's literary output regarding his own experience and attitudes. The practical part focuses on describing the main characters with respect to their experience of homosexuality. The thesis also deals with the motif of drugs, which functions as means of escaping from the reality. It also anticipates the tragic end. The motif of the journey is also considered, as another opportunity to escape in the search for the individual identity and the meaning of life. The conclusion summarizes the ambiguity of Burroughs' works, expressing his emotional personal confession and also a sharp social criticism.

Dolejš, Jakub ; Sehnálková, Jana (advisor) ; Kýrová, Lucie (referee)
The thesis analyses the representation of gay male characters in comics published by Marvel and DC in the 1990s. Through a comparative analysis based on the data collected, the publishers' approaches to three aspects of the representation of homosexuality - that is, coming out, the subsequent representation of sexuality, and the topic of HIV/AIDS - will be compared. Five characters were selected for comparison from the two publishers based on certain criteria such as the number of appearances in the comics or the year of coming out about sexuality. For these selected characters, the author of this thesis follows the mentioned themes and then compares their subsequent representation.

Attitudes towards homosexuality and their relations to personality characteristics
ROTTEROVÁ, Gabriela
The bachelor thesis deals with the exploration and description of attitudes towards homosexuality, focusing mainly on the degree of homonegativism and characteristics related to attitudes. The theoretical part describes the development of attitudes in our territory and abroad and discusses the most commonly used terms associated with this issue. The empirical part of this thesis takes the form of quantitative design. Using a questionnaire survey, it tries to describe the difference between the degree of homonegativity in the Czech Republic. There were 1.590 respondents aged 18 to 56 years as the research sample. The ATLG questionnaire was used to determine the degree of homonegativity, the BFI-2-S questionnaire focused on personality characteristics and supplementary questions related to LGBT+ issues were also used. When comparing the degree of homonegativity in male and female persons, a difference has been demonstrated. The next tested hypotheses regarding sociodemographic data have not been confirmed. However, differences across groups of people who are friends with an LGBT+ individual (s) and also among people who had a negative social experience with someone from a given minority group have been confirmed. The correlation between the degree of homonegativity and its two dimensions - extraversion and conscientiousness has been confirmed from the BFI-2-S questionnaire. The results, as well as the limits of the study and the possibility of further research, are discussed in the thesis.
