Category: Performing Arts

A wide-ranging exploration of an alternative, continuous history that has existed for over 70 years within mainstream British mass entertainment, covering media personalities and celebrities, fictional characters, slang terms, cliches, jargon, catch-phrases, banned broadcasts, cut scenes, hidden symbols, forbidden words, outings, nudity, kisses, and more. According to the author, "The title derives from the commonly heard cry: 'Yes, I'm homosexual/gay/lesbian/bisexual/queer/a dyke. But I don't broadcast it.'" Paper edition (unseen), $27.95.
