In the last 20 year the visibility of gay characters on TV has increased massively, and it’s something the documentary Playing Gay: How America Came Out on Television wants to take a look at. But to do so it’s hoping to raise as extremely ambitious $137,500 on Kickstarter, and with only a week to go it’s still a long way off that target, so it really does need your help.
Playing Gay, ‘is a documentary film that needs the support of the LGBT community and its allies in order to be made. The film will tell — for the first time — the story of how television changed the way America views LGBT people.
‘There has been a major shift in the hearts and minds of America over the past four decades. Television has been both the catalyst for and a powerful reflection of Americans’ views on gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender people.
‘We are lining up interviews with actors and directors who have played key roles in the history of LGBT people on TV. But in order to shoot and edit this film, we need you.’
You can find out more by taking a look at the video below and then heading over to Kickstarter.
