Queering the Slayer-Text: Reading Possibilities in Buffy the Vampire Slayer - Rebecca Beirne

Published Feb 3rd 2004

Until the mid-1990s, the image of the polluted homosexual dominated the screen. Then there was a striking change: the rise of the “normal gay”. - Steven Seidman, Beyond the Closet[1]

- Sue-Ellen Case, ‘Tracking the Vampire’[2]
