Hi Honey, I'm Homo! Sitcoms, Specials, and the Queering of American Culture [View all]

This is a book by Matt Baume. If you have a chance, read it! It has some really good historical information on how we were/are portrayed in the genre of the sitcom. It discusses the challenges we faced/face and adds some great tidbits about GLBT progress and failures through the years.

I made it a "couple activity" with my husband and listened to the book together. He is a big TV/Movie aficionado. Oh, and he is gay too.
