Television has historically been largely ineffective at
representing queerness in its various forms. In the 21st century,
however, as same-sex couples have seen increasing mainstream
acceptance, and a broader range of queer characters has appeared in
the media, it seems natural to assume TV portrayals of queerness
have become more enlightened. But have they? This collection of
fresh essays analyzes queerness as depicted on TV from 2000 to the
present. Examining Buffy the Vampire Slayer, The Ellen DeGeneres
Show, The L Word, Modern Family, The New Normal, Queer as Folk,
Queer Eye for the Straight Guy, RuPaul's Drag Race, Spartacus and
Will & Grace, among others, the contributors demonstrate that
queer characters in general have achieved visibility at the expense
of minimizing much of their queerness-with a few eye-opening
exceptions.
