Susan Douglas makes this point well in Where the Girls Are: Growing Up Female with the Mass Media . Riverhead, 1995. 3 LAUGHING ALL THE WAY TO OURSELVES 1 . T o be clear, I am not arguing that they were alone in important politi- cized comedy. It was a time of the emergence of lesbian comedy in smaller venues, as well as black comics who were even on television like Flip Wilson, Redd Foxx, and others. Tomlin and Wagner distinguished themselves during this period though in their particular capacity for clear-eyed hope. 5 OUR QUEER MOTHERS 1 . T o m lin and Wagner lent their names The Lily Tomlin and Jane Wagner Cultural Arts Center in 2002. It was funded through the philanthropic organization, the Silva Watson Moonwalk Foundation. Revenues 182 Notes earned from it are used in part to provide HIV or AIDS treatment and care through the LA Gay and Lesbian Center, and to enhance other programs at The Center. 2 .
