Out in Culture Gay, Lesbian, and Queer Essays on Popular Culture

Charts some of the ways in which lesbians, gays, and queers have understood and negotiated the pleasures and affirmations, as well as the disappointments and denials, of mass culture. Challenging the hegemonic structure of mainstream opinion and representation, the essays collected here develop antihomophobic and antiheterocentrist critical approaches to some of the major forms of contemporary mass culture: film, television, popular music, and fashion.
