From The Closet to The Red Carpet (Queer on Screen, Part 2): “A lot of hot gravy over cold meat.”

In Part 2 of this special “Queer on Screen” series, we’ll continue right where we left off…diving into queer representation in film and TV from the 1980’s to now, the chapter when things finally changed. From the impact of The Celluloid Closet and the AIDS crisis, to breakthrough media like The Birdcage, Will & Grace, and Brokeback Mountain, we’ll share the moments that made us feel seen, what missed the mark, and why some modern portrayals still don’t quite get it right. Look…Heated Rivalry is by no means the first hot gay love story, and it won't be the last either. Join us as grief and recognition lead to progress and possibility, as we reflect on how far we’ve come, and how much further there is still to go. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
