Title: A mostly sterile academic debate
Review: I bought this book expecting a real effort to understand the impact and the dynamic of the recent representation of gays in the media. Statistics show how important the visibility of homosexuals has been for shifting public opinion. Well ... you won't find any endeavor of this sort in the this book. This collection of articles is merely a descriptive to moralistic commentary, put into some complicated academic and semi-activist style. The level of their analysis is desperately shallow. Unless you are looking for a purely descriptive commentary on TV shows (like Queers as Folk, Will and Grace...) that cast gay characters, the book you are looking for has not been written yet. If yes, please let me know. Overall, this book was a true disappointment.
