It's been almost 50 years since the first openly gay sitcom character appeared on All In The Family in 1971, but Apple isn't waiting for the big anniversary to drop its epic docuseries Visible: Out On Television. It boasts an incredible lineup of talking heads — entertainment icons and queer trailblazers ranging from Billy Porter and Rachel Maddow to Lena Waithe, Indya Moore, Asia Kate Dillon, Anderson Cooper, and even Oprah.
The five-episode series promises to span early censorship and taboos, how TV documented historical moments like Stonewall and the AIDS epidemic, the iconic LGBTQ characters and personalities beamed into people's living rooms all over the world, Soap and Queer As Folk and Pose and I'm not crying already, you are.
Visible comes out on Apple TV+ on Feb. 14.
