Up from Invisibility by Larry Gross

Gross traces the relation of lesbians and gays to the media and astutely points to the latter's lingering inability to embrace the complex reality of gay identity.
A readable account of the gradual emergence of a gay-lesbian presence in news, entertainment, and advertising over the last fifty years-- James Boylan Columbia Journalism Review This scholarly study is engaging and readable. Library Journal Not only adds to our understanding of the culture but also encompasses material from an impressive number of venues that should be, but often are not, included in a book about the media. -- Roger Streitmatter, American University Journal of Mass Communication Quarterly
