Doty argues that films, television, and other forms of mass culture consistently elicit a wide range of queer (sexually liminal) responses, and suggests an interpretive framework for understanding mass culture that stands as a corrective to many standard cultural approaches.

"In "Making Things Perfectly Queer," Alexander Doty argues that films, television, and other forms of mass culture consistently elicit a wide range of queer responses, and suggests a framework for interpreting mass culture that stands as a corrective for many standard cultural approaches. By examining star images like Jack Benny and Pee-Wee Herman, women-centered sitcoms like "Laverne and Shirley" and "Designing Women," film directors like George Cukor and Dorothy Azner, and genres like the musical, Doty demonstrates how popular culture can be interpreted from a queer perspective. Ultimately, he suggests that queerness, not straightness, just might be the most pervasive sexual dynamic at work in mass culture production and reception.". Seller Inventory # ABE-1623574175578
