Description: "This book offers a critical introduction to gay and lesbian identity within the media, focusing on the potential of 'new storytelling'. Foregrounding case studies which are taken principally from television, film and online media, a central focus is placed upon the narrative potential of individual storytellers who as self-reflexive producers, writers, performers and (active) audiences generate new discourses for gay and lesbian identity."--Jacket.
