American Rapture
C.J. Leede

As a queer person from rural Georgia whose first brushes with gay and trans topics came from episodes of Degrassi, I already knew the importance of how TV shows can open doors across the USA to let queer characters and storylines into the homes of Americans and break down barriers on a political level.
I was already a big fan of Matt Baume’s YouTube presence but this book was a great dive into the long history of queer representation in sitcoms and the backlash and censorship that emerged as an effort to prevent those stories from reaching the necessary audiences. I’m so grateful to all of the creators behind these shows who worked to ensure that queer stories were shown on TV, even through backlash from conservative groups and so many anti-queer bills throughout history. It’s because of their work that things like Heated Rivalry and S5 or Bridgerton can even begin to take shape.

”Because I have the U.S. Army,” she said. “And that’s a damn fine army.”
Ugh, gag. Imperialist bootlicking. Just when I’m like “oh cute story about finding connection in the universe!” He throws that in and it pulls me out of the book.
