The Rainbow Age of Television is such an incredibly detailed and well organized compilation of queer characters and roles in the history of television, and how those roles/lack thereof relate to the real world and the struggles/growth of queer people. Wow. I'm blown away by the extent of the material in this book, so much work went into this and you can tell! As a queer person myself, I appreciate the deep dive into the LGBTQIA+ community's history in the media!
I will admit, many of the names of characters/shows were lost on me, as I have a bad habit of only watching modern television, and even so, not always the most well known TV shows... but this isn't an issue at all if you're in the same boat, thankfully! Every section is well explained and you need no prior "knowledge" going in. A very well written piece!
Such a fascinating read!
