viddingTitle: Summer: Gay Life as Seen on 1970's TV
Fandom: Multi (full list in my DW post)
Music: Summer from The Four Seasons by Antonio Vivaldi
Warnings: homophobia, alcohol & tobacco use
Summary: Although gay representation in 1970's American television was overall dire, some shows introduced gay characters who were sympathetic and nuanced. Even then, they usually were only there for one episode to teach the straight characters a lesson about tolerance. But this early TV representation was still important, so I've highlighted some favorite clips here of gay and lesbian characters speaking out in the 1970's.
Notes: This vid was premiered at WisCon44, or WisConline.
Additional notes are on my DW post, but you can also view on AO3 or tumblr.
