Altho the cover has that generic early-90s multiculti/ACTUP design look (EEK!) there's actually alot of good material in here. Rather than the usual collections of grad student mush, many of the writers actually know gay media from the inside (even if some info is dated now). Especcially good as an antidote to the feature film/hollywoodization of gay cinema.Too much stuff, alot of weaker essays (and SCARY "art") could have been omitted, and there's an incestuous NY/academic/PC mafia that gets old, but it still seems like a really useful document.
