In skins there are different indicators of homosexuality. Using sound there are indicators of ambient sound, dialogue and diagetic sound.

One character is seen to be alone from the rest of the group and seems to be an outcast, This is seen when you see the character outside on his own and the camera angle is above him making him seem like his less powerful than everyone else becuase of his sexual preference.

When his friends arrive the camera changes so that the three friends are on the same level indicating that they are now considered as equals. The characters shirt and the wall behind is yellow which is a connotation symbolising happiness however at the front we the audience see misery and segregation.
