Join us on a whirlwind tour through the best queer coming-out scenes in sitcom history! (And one or two of the worst.)
Using clips from classic TV shows, vintage news broadcasts, and excerpts from the new book Hi Honey, I’m Homo!, we’ll explore a surprising evolution across decades of iconic primetime sitcoms, and reveal the behind-the-scenes struggles to put queer people on the air with humor and humanity.
This is the story of how sitcoms helped change the televised coming-out scene from a radical, dangerous act into a cause for celebration — but one that can still be just as radical today.
Location: Seattle Central Library, Level 1 Auditorium. Registration is required.
