Queer In America: Sex, the Media and the Closets of Power - Softcover

Michelangelo Signorile first came to the American media's attention during the controversy that followed his "outing" of Malcolm Forbes. In this book he argues that the power structures of Washington, Hollywood and the media industry have covered up - and continue to cover up - the truth about lesbian and homosexual figures in an unconscious conspiracy to keep them all in the closet. He also argues that a new generation of homosexual activists in Silicon Valley industries have harnessed information technology to break down the closet and enjoy enlightened anti-discrimination policies.
