  abstract: Gross traces the relation of lesbians and gays to the media and astutely points to the latters lingering inability to embrace the complex reality of gay identity. He notes the victories, like the opening of the first gay bookstore in the country or the transformation of "The Advocate" from a small newsletter to the first commercial gay paper, but also questions some dubious milestones, like the first lesbian kiss on network television "(LA Law)."
