    Copyright by Alfred Leonard Martin, Jr. 2015 The Dissertation Committee for Alfred Leonard Martin, Jr., Certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: Trapped in a Generic Closet: Black-cast Television Sitcoms and Black Gay Men Committee: Mary C. Beltrán, Supervisor Jonathan A. Gray Alisa Perren Eric Pritchard Janet Staiger Karin Wilkins Trapped in a Generic Closet: Black-cast Television Sitcoms and Black Gay Men by Alfred Leonard Martin, Jr., B.A., M.A. Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of The University of Texas at Austin in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Texas at Austin May 2015 Dedication This dissertation is dedicated to two important men in my life. First, my dearly departed father Alfred Sr. (1944 – 2008), who taught me the value of hard work and perseverance and always supported me in whatever hair-brained idea I wanted to pursue. Second, my husband Tom, who like my father, supports me unequivocally. He possesses the greatest gift needed for the spouse of a dissertator: knowing when to leave the dissertator alone and when he needs a break from the madness of writing. Acknowledgements I’d first like to extend a very special thanks to my amazing dissertation committee without whom this project would be a distant glimmer. To have these brilliant minds provide their considerable expertise is more than I could have ever hoped for. My supervisor, Mary C. Beltrán, talked me off the ledge many times while writing and patiently helped me truly figure out where this project was headed.
