Published 10:39 AM EST Feb 14, 2020The Apple TV+ five-part docuseries"Visible: Out on Television" depicts the evolution of how the LGBTQ community is portrayed on TV, from the McCarthyism-inspired homophobia to Ellen DeGeneres' coming out, to current series like FX's"Pose.
DeGeneres remembers"begging" Disney to let her character come out on her '90s sitcom. Oprah Winfrey, who appeared in the eventual coming-out episode of"Ellen" and addressed homosexuality on her former syndicated talk show, is also featured, as is out writer/producer/actress Lena Waithe and Billy Crystal, who played one of TV's first openly gay characters on ABC's 1970s sitcom"Soap.
Former"Project Runway" mentor Tim Gunn grew up at a time when homosexuality was thought of by some as a mental illness. Bravo host Andy Cohen and writer Bruce Vilanch recall gay people becoming targets for jokes. Trans activist Miss Major Griffin-Gracy shares the pain endured when straight men dressed in drag, as Milton Berle did in"The Lucy-Desi Comedy Hour."
