With humor, acumen and in-depth research, Matt Baume takes a behind-the-scenes look at the most defining coming-out moments in US television history – and shows how sitcoms have negotiated queer emancipation for decades. Between studio laughs and oversized living room backdrops, series told stories of self-discovery, rejection and solidarity. From embarrassing confessions to celebrated confessions, they reflect social conflicts – and teach us how spaces can be created in which people are allowed to be themselves.
