IS ANYONE GOING TO THIS?!?!
Museum of Television & Radio New York SEMINAR
No Limits: A Look at Queer as Folk and The L Word
Monday, May 24, 2004; 6:00 to 7:30 p.m.
Television has played an influential role in bringing greater visibility and mainstream acceptance to the gay and lesbian community. From programs of the 1960s and '70s that touched cautiously on the subject to current prime-time series featuring gay characters in leading roles, the medium has taken great strides with each passing decade. In conjunction with the screening series Not That There's Anything Wrong With That (March 26 to June 27, 2004), featuring key moments in the history of gay and lesbian images on television, the Museum will hold a seminar with a special emphasis on Showtime's groundbreaking programs Queer as Folk and The L Word.
