Some amazing gay history. Listen up kids.

I'm watching that documentary "Before Stonewall" about gay history
pre-1969, and uncovered something which I think is interesting.

The documentary includes a brief clip of a 1954 televised newscast
about the rise of homosexuality. The host of the program interviewed
psychologists, a police officer, and one "known homosexual". The
"known homosexual" is 22 years old. He identifies himself as Curtis
White, which is a pseudonym; his name is actually Dale Olson.
So I tracked down the newscast. According to what I can find, Dale
Olson may have been the first gay man to appear openly on television
and defend his sexual orientation. He explains that there's nothing
wrong with him mentally and he's never been arrested. When asked
whether he'd take a cure if it existed, he says no. When asked whether
his family knows he's gay, he says that they didn't up until tonight, but
he guesses they're going to find out, and he'll probably be fired from
his job as well. So of course the host is like ... why are you doing this
interview then? and Dale Olson, cool as cucumber pie, says "I think
that this way I can be a little useful to someone besides myself."

1954. 22 years old. Balls of pure titanium.

Despite the pseudonym, Dale's boss did indeed recognize him from
the TV program, and he was promptly fired the next day. He wrote into
ONE magazine six months later to reassure readers that he had gotten
a new job at a higher salary.
Curious about what became of him, I looked into his life a little further.
It turns out that he ultimately became a very successful publicity
agent. He promoted the Rocky movies and Superman. Not only that,
but get this: Dale represented Rock Hudson, and he was the person
who convinced him to disclose that he had AIDS! He wrote the
statement Rock read. And as we know, Rock Hudson's disclosure had
a very significant effect on the national conversation about AIDS in the
U.S.

Was listening to this last week thinking ”Am I the only one who still listen to this on repeat??”

Eric Nally vocals are just amazing - making me feel like Freddie Mercury never died.

We do A LOT of casting here at GMM and I really need to echo this sentiment:

I can't tell you how many potential invites I've skipped on simply because I couldn't identify important info about a person.

stellaluna 🔜 PAX Unplugged @stellaluna.tv · Aug 29

i am once again begging actual play & podcast platforms to please list your cast & staff members somewhere — in your bio, an "about us" page, a pinned post, anything — i promise you it will help you get more clicks, partners, & sponsors in the long run. it adds accessibility & safety to your brand!

Every day is asking too much from me

A little comic strip in the first panel a girl lays in bed with a green snake talking to her and a small Pikachu stuffed animal next to her. The snake says to get out of bed and she responds “But I got out of bed yesterday” the snake says you have to do it every day and she stares angrily and upset at him.
