This paper examines the profound influence of social media platforms on shaping contemporary attitudes towards gender roles and sexuality. With the ubiquitous presence of social media in everyday life, individuals are constantly exposed to diverse representations of gender and sexuality. Through a review of existing literature and empirical studies, this paper elucidates the mechanisms by which social media perpetuates and challenges traditional gender norms and sexual orientations. It explores how social media platforms serve as both facilitators and disruptors of gender and sexual discourse, affecting individuals’ perceptions, behaviors, and self-identities. Additionally, the paper discusses the potential implications of social media on societal progress towards gender equality and LGBTQ+ rights, as well as the challenges and opportunities for future research in this evolving field. By understanding the multifaceted role of social media in shaping attitudes towards gender roles and sexuality, this paper aims to contribute to a more nuanced understanding of contemporary social dynamics and inform efforts to promote inclusivity and diversity in digital spaces and beyond. Social media platforms promote inclusivity by showcasing diverse gender identities and sexual orientations. They foster community building, education, and activism while also influencing societal perceptions of beauty, relationships, and sexual norms. However, they also pose challenges like cyberbullying, perpetuating stereotypes, and spreading misinformation, which can negatively impact attitudes towards gender and sexuality.
