Hi Honey, I’m Homo!

By Matt Baume

"This book is a triumph and everyone should read it."
—Dan Savage, journalist and author, on Savage Lovecast

"Hi Honey, I’m Homo is a heartbreaking historical document, but ultimately one that will leave the reader feeling proud of how something as maligned and disposable as the network sitcom used comedy to bring about such profound and important social progress."
—Vulture

"[A] well-curated compendium of prime time broadcasting . . . Baume is a companionable guide."
—Shelf Awareness

From flamboyant relatives on Bewitched to closely-guarded secrets on All in the Family, from network-censor fights over Soap to behind-the-scenes activism on the set of The Golden Girls, from Ellen’s culture clash to Modern Family’s primetime power-couple, Hi Honey, I’m Homo! is the story not only of how subversive queer comedy transformed the American sitcom from its inception through today, but how our favorite sitcoms transformed, and continue to transform, America.
