Visible: Out on Television

Was wonderful to see an account looking back to the early days of television, and how representation has changed across the LGBTQ+ spectrum - and how much further it has yet to go. Got emotional more than once seeing the battles fought and won. As impressed and happy I am that they included trans and nonbinary representation, I do wish they had included a wider breadth of the queer experience. We have shows out there now with even more invisible identities, who are fighting today to bring that representation to people's homes. Including a segment about pansexual characters, or asexual characters, or intersex characters, or polyamory, would have been great. I hope to see more of that if they do another season.

I think everyone should watch this mini series. It shows that growth sometimes takes time but thankfully, through the sacrifices and determination of so many, growth is possible. Thank you for sharing your stories.

Excellent tour through LGBTQ history and how television is a US cultural staple. Not only is this a celebration of the LGBTQ community, it explains the inequalities faced in the past, present, and the future. It is hosted by members of the LGBTQ community. Finally, it does not sweep anything under the rug, it fully explores the frightening and terrible events that have happened in the LGBTQ community since the invention of television.

A very detailed history of LGBT representation on TV from Beginning to End. All the casts, the stories, the footage, the conversation are heart-warming but bittersweet at the same time.

I have to say that this has to be the best documentary about this subject that I've ever watched. It was totally engrossing and informative. The number of talking heads, who know the subject intimately, give us no-holds-barred stories of their own lives and the lives of those they are familiar with. Every aspect of being a part of television's history, from invisibility or made fun of to acceptance and celebrated is included. Every genre, including the news is included. It is an unforgettable series that should open hearts and minds. Two thumbs as high up as one can go for this one.
