Seinfeld, Friends, Roc, Living Single, The Golden Girls ... why did so many 90s sitcoms want to talk about gay marriage, when it wasn't even legal yet? And did those episodes help, or make people more accepting? Let's talk about what was going on, what those episodes got right (and sometimes wrong), and why they didn't have the impact that you might expect.
Also! I'll be hosting events in these cities next month:
Stockholm on May 5 at RFSL Stockholm
Vienna on May 7: https://www.loewenherz.at/buchpraesentation-mit-matt-baume-im-mai-2026.php
Utrecht on May 10 at Savannah Bay
Heidelberg on May 17 at the German-American Institute: https://dai-heidelberg.de/en/events/matt-baume-56584/
More details on all of those coming soon!
