<p><b>A compelling explanation of the American public¿s acceptance of LGBT freedoms through the lens of pop culture</b><br/>How did gay people go from being characterized as dangerous perverts to military heroes and respectable parents? How did the interests of the LGBT movement and the state converge to transform mainstream political and legal norms in these areas?<br/>Using civil rights narratives, pop culture, and critical theory, <i>LGBT Inclusion in American Life</i> tells the story of how exclusion was transformed into inclusion in US politics and society, as pop culture changed mainstream Americans thinking about ¿non-gay¿ issues, namely privacy, sex and gender norms, and family. Susan Burgess explores films such as <i>Casablanca</i>, various James Bond movies, and <i>Julie and Julia</i>, and television shows such as <i>thirtysomething</i> and <i>The Americans</i>, as well as the Broadway sensation <i>Hamilton</i>, as sources of growing popular support for LGBT rights.
