Hi Honey, I'm Homo!: Sitcoms, Specials, and the Queering of American Culture by Matt Baume
funny
informative
inspiring
fast-paced
4.5
Having grown up in the ‘70s on a steady diet of sit-coms (and being a fan of the author’s YouTube channel) I found the book entertaining and informative. Each chapter is devoted to a different comedy that, for better or worse, impacted Americans views on homosexuality, from the coded language of Bewitched to the blockbuster success of Modern Family. It’s both frustrating (once again our recurring villains are moralist hypocrites) and inspiring (those who kept pushing boundaries and stood by gay friends and co-workers).
Moderate: Homophobia, Religious bigotry, and Lesbophobia
Minor: Abortion and Outing
