Editorial Reviews
Review
A readable account of the gradual emergence of a gay-lesbian presence in news, entertainment, and advertising over the last fifty years.--James Boylan "Columbia Journalism Review"
Not only adds to our understanding of the culture but also encompasses material from an impressive number of venues that should be, but often are not, included in a book about the media.--Roger Streitmatter, American University "Journal of Mass Communication Quarterly"
This scholarly study is engaging and readable.-- "Library Journal"
