[ABSTRAK
Thesis ini membahas muatan-muatan homoseksual di dalam trilogi film X- Men. Fokus dalam penelitian ini adalah untuk menunjukkan bahwa film-film tersebut adalah media bagi kaum homoseksual untuk melawan hegemoni kaum heteroseksual. Penelitian ini menggunakan sejumlah teori seperti analisis wacana yang dikembangkan Teun A. van Dijk, Media Literacy, Auteur Theory, teori hegemoni Antonio Gramsci, dan dihubungkan dengan History of Sexuality tulisan Michel Foucault. Analisis wacana digunakan untuk membongkar bahwa para mutan di dalam film adalah simbolisme, analogi, atau metafora dari homoseksualitas. Teori ini pada awalnya lebih banyak membahas peran sentral Bryan Singer sebagai sutradara gay dalam membuat dua dari tiga film trilogi X- Men. Peran Singer juga dianalisis dengan teori Media Literacy dan Auteur Theory untuk menunjukkan dominasi peran seorang sutradara di dalam film. Setelah menunjukkan bahwa para mutan dalam film-film tersebut adalah obsesi Singer terhadap homoseksualitas, temuan wacana tersebut dihubungkan dengan dengan hegemoni heteroseksual. Penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa trilogi film tersebut mencerminkan semesta homoseksual untuk melawan hegemoni heteroseksual.
