Lesbians and Daffy Duck (In Different Things)

I referenced television holiday movies along with a recent attempt to add gay/lesbian (trans yet?) diversity in a comment elsewhere and someone flagged Happiest Season, a Hulu entry that came out for Thanksgiving. It was a romantic comedy (with serious themes) involving a woman taking her girlfriend home to meet the family, letting her know on the way there that she isn't "out" yet. 

The plot interested me as much as the cast and figured it was worth a trial month at Hulu. And, it was pretty good though at times it did have some television movie like vibes. The cast particularly helped papered over some slower spots and it had a good overall message.  Now that I have the month, perhaps I will watch a few other things, getting a little taste of all that extra content that requires paying for some additional platforms. 

Among some free books left outside my local NYPL branch (still not reopened), I saw Daffy For President, an amusing and actually educational book that was given out back in the day to go along with some Bugs Bunny stamps. A few years later, a cartoon version was made, mostly loyal if a bit different. The book might be of some benefit for some of the new crew in Congress and so on. 
ETA: NY Daily News printed a letter of mine referencing the book!
