My TV Tribe

I grew up in the 60’s and 70’s and TV was as much a part of my life as computers and cell phones are for kids growing up today. I knew I was gay by the time I was five, my first same sex infatuation was in kindergarten. And for the most part, I felt very alone with my “secret” and from that time until much later in life, I realized that it was not something safe to share. And there was TV. And my family adored it! We ate most of our meals on TV trays, in fact! But here’s the thing. Sitting there watching the actors make me laugh, solve crimes, travel to other worlds...without realizing it, I was not alone. Here is a smattering of my GLBT Tribe from the shows I grew up watching.
