 In: Media Education Foundation CollectionSummary: Picking up where the critically acclaimed Off the Straight & Narrow (1998) left off, this film examines the increasing presence of GLBT characters on sitcoms, reality shows, and premium cable programming. It takes account of the emerging variety and complexity of GLBT representations, while exploring how these representations continue to be shaped by the demands of the commercial media system. The film asks whether we are witnessing a dramatic and progressive opening of the culture, or simply a cautious recognition by advertisers of the buying power of GLBT consumers.
