During the 20th century through today, gay and lesbian artists,
writers, political activists, and sports figures contributed their
talents to all areas of popular culture. Authors such as E. Lynn
Harris and Patricia Highsmith write bestselling novels. Rupert
Everett follows in the footsteps of Rock Hudson and others who
starred in multimillion dollar films. George Michael and k.d.lang
have been the creative forces behind dozens of hit songs, and the
TV programs of Ellen DeGeneres, Rosie O'Donnell, and the cast of
Queer Eye for the Straight Guy are enjoyed in gay and straight
households alike. The Encyclopedia of Gay and Lesbian Popular
Culture identifies the people, films, TV shows, literature, and
sports figures that have made significant contributions to both gay
and lesbian popular culture, and American popular culture. -The
