This book is both a retrospective history of the gay community's use of electronic media as a way of networking and creating a sense of community, and an examination of the current situation, an analysis and critical assessment of gay/lesbian electronic media. Keith and Johnson use original interviews and oral history to delineate the place of electronic media in the lives of this increasingly visible and vocal minority in America.

Phylis A. Johnson is an associate professor at Southern Illinois University at Carbondale. Her fields of interest are diversity and communications. She has published widely regarding the role of radio in society; conducted the first national gay and lesbian radio broadcast survey in the United States in 1994; and has conducted research on African American radio’s impact on urban youth. She has more than twenty years of broadcast experience in Philadelphia, Houston, St. Louis, and other markets across the United States.,
Michael C. Keith is a member of the Communications Department at Boston College. He is the author or coauthor of fifteen acclaimed books on the electronic media.
