While watching old episodes of Columbo, I ran across one with an out gay character. That episode is "Butterfly in Shades of Grey" (Season 10, Episode 8). While there's nothing odd about having an LGBT character on TV these days, it was something to talk about in 1994. The story revolves around Fielding Chase (William Shatner), a conservative radio talk show host.

★★★★ Eismayer is a drama about a closeted army sergeant who falls in love with a new recruit. It's based on a true story. Sergeant Major Charles Eismayer (Gerhard Liebmann) has the well-earned reputation of being a brutal drill sergeant in the Australian army. Although he's a closeted gay man, he's been able to hide behind his hypermasculine persona and marriage to a woman to dispel rumors about his homosexuality.

The visit begins with a dinner in which one of Matt's best friends, Kyle (Bennett Cale), comes up in conversation.

★★★★★ Blue Jean is a drama set in Newcastle, England in 1988. The story is about Jean, a closeted secondary school PE teacher.

Although her girlfriend, Viv (Kerrie Hayes), is politically active, Jean isn't.

★★★★ B-Boy Blues is based on the popular novel by James Earl Hardy. It's a soapy story of romance and drama where every man is buff and walks around without a shirt. Timothy Richardson plays Mitchell, a rising star with the magazine he works for. I assume he’s an editor, but it’s never well defined. He has a gal-pal assistant, Michi, played by Brandee Evans, who is smart, quick on her feet, and dedicated.

★★ A Nice Indian Boy is a romantic comedy about Naveen (Karan Soni), a shy, awkward doctor who is unable to find a boyfriend. His outgoing best friend, Paul (Peter S. Kim), often gives him advice on how to pick up men, but he refuses to take any of it. Neveen would rather keep to himself than take a chance meeting strangers.

★★★★★ Summer of 85 is a gay drama about first love and the pain that follows. The film opens with a teenage boy, Alex (Félix Lefebvre), being led down a hallway by a police officer. Through a voiceover, he tells us that the story is about a corpse he knew when it was alive. At first the movie looks and feels a bit grim, then it cuts to a beach scene with bright colors and fun music.

The one thing that any new Dead by Daylight player should do is play killer as soon as possible. In fact, you should play as the killer even before you try survivor. I say this because once you've played killer for a while, you'll have a much better idea as to what you're up against as a survivor. You'll understand how a killer thinks, what they're looking for, and the games they play.

★★★★★ High Town is a crime drama set in the coastal town of Provincetown, MA. The series begins with Sherry Henry (Masha Cima) and her recently sober friend Krista Collins (Crystal Lake Evans) waiting for a drug delivery in a remote area of Cape Cod. When Krista goes into the reeds to urinate, the drug dealer drives up and gets out of the car.

Back in the 1970s it was unusual to see a gay person portrayed on television. Sure, there were shows like All in the Family and Maude that were daring enough to give it a shot, but that was very uncommon. So, you can imagine my surprise to find an episode of Kojak from 1973 with a gay character, "Requiem for a Cop" (Season 1, Episode 6, 1973).
