Many of the early queer characters were “queer” in name only meaning that they didn’t really engage in public displays of affection or in actual or assumed sexual activities. That is to say, many of them were “celibate” gays. For this week’s discussion post, I want you to discuss how cable shows have been able to expand the representation of queer characters and storylines. I want you to specifically discuss the differences between regular cable (Noah’s Arc, The Fosters, and Pose) vs premium cable’s (Queer as Folk, the L Word, and Shameless) representation.
Also, when discussing individual shows, pay attention to when they aired; there was almost a decade and a half difference between Noah’s Arc and Pose for instance.
