Klappentext
"Tom Waugh was thinking queerly about the movies for decades before the New Queer Cinema was a market niche, but without his careful thinking and charming interventions, it's hard to imagine the present cultural moment. Back when being gay was anything but fashionable, Waugh taught and fought, proselytized and organized, so that queer films and queer audiences would be taken seriously."--B. Ruby Rich, author of "Chick Flicks: Theories and Memories of the Feminist Film Movement"
