This work documents the influence of gays and lesbians in the film world. Some people know about the artier side of gay cinema or that Rock Hudson was gay, but few people know that gay men directed movies like "Dirty Dancing", "The China Syndrome", or "Marathon Man". This book includes chapters such as Queer, Lesbian, Gay Male, Transgender, Camp, and Honourable and Dishonourable Mentions. It is fully indexed and cross-referenced.
Solid job of covering films of gay content and/or interest (not always the same--for example, there's nothing particularly gay about Bette Davis, but she gets her own section in the book thanks to her gay following).
