Film: Gay Movie Marathon on TBS

From “Movie Marathon” by Alonso Duralde, The Advocate, June 4, 2007:

“Well, it’s June again, and for many cable networks that means it’s time to mark Pride Month with a halfhearted rerun of every notable post-1990 queer film they can get their hands on. But leave it to Turner Classic Movies to dig deeply into its vaults for ‘Screened Out: Gay Images in Film,’ a 44-film series running Mondays and Wednesdays all month long. Based on Richard Barrios’s book Screened Out: Playing Gay in Hollywood from Edison to Stonewall, the series offers a varied look at gay characters in American film: from swishy supporting roles (mostly banished from the screen after the Hays Code went into effect) to butch prison matrons to seductive, unscrupulous, exotic inverts of any gender.”
