Rebroadcast: New book explores queer characters and their storylines in sitcoms

Behind the laughter and bright lights of sitcoms, some of America’s favorite shows featured queer storylines – whether viewers realized it or not. From Bewitched to the Golden Girls, “Hi Honey, I’m Homo!: Sitcoms, Specials and the Queering of American Culture” explores how sitcoms played a role in the advancement of LGBTQ+ rights by embracing queer culture.

Matt Baume is a Seattle-based podcaster, Youtuber and author of the new book. He joins us to share some of the most impactful shows in gay history and the greater role they played in society.
