Inhalt
The ultimate deep dive into the revolution of queer TV.- With the last decade's television boom across a multitude of platforms, producing hundreds of network and streaming series, American audiences are being treated to a cascade of shows that some have trumpeted as a second Golden Age. But something completely new is stirring, too - the Rainbow Age. For the first time in the history of American television, we have shows in which LGBTIQ characters have evolved from being an anomaly to being an almost given and celebrated presence on the small screen.- But what more can queer TV do? Is each new queer character really breaking ground? And has the curse of the fictional dead lesbian finally been defeated? The author tracks the history and evolution of LGBTIQ icons across the televised ages and into the future of streaming - from the very first televised queer kiss (we think) to the shows that are making household names and heroes of queer characters today. Warner uses original interviews with queer TV icons such as Lilly Wachowski along with detailed history to investigate the constraints under which queer people have been allowed to exist on American television. Surveying seventy-plus years of broadcasts, »The Rainbow Age of Television« explores why queer people are so invested in - and conflicted by - the kinds of storytelling that TV has to offer.
