POPULARITY
In the last 10-20 years, attitudes toward LGBTQ+ people in America have shifted due to more positive visibility and evolving cultural norms. Cynthia takes a look at two moments from 1970s television that revealed glimpses of LGBTQ+ allyship—a talk show moment and a 1974 episode of Police Woman. In 1970, June Lockhart appeared on The Virginia Graham Show and stopped the hostess in her tracks, pushing back on stereotypes and tropes common for the time. And the story of how a 54-year-old clip is available for viewing is its own testament to advocacy. LGBTQ+ scholar and media documentarian Steven Capsuto's book, Alternate Channels, helped Cynthia connect the June Lockhart dot to an episode of Police Woman. Capsuto's book is an essential work for every media, gender, and social justice scholar. He traces television and even radio's early depiction of mostly gay characters and the absence of lesbians. His book also details the LGBTQ+ community's organization and support from straight allies that fought against distorted and ugly depictions of gay and lesbian characters in television and film for more than 75 years. The overall trend in American society has been toward greater understanding and support for LGBTQ+ people and this is, to a significant degree, the result of advocates and allies pushing for more positive and diverse characterizations in popular culture. Television largely ignored lesbians until the 1970s and even then, the characters were bitter, violent, and unstable. With just a few sentences, June Lockhart, in real life, and Angie Dickinson, as Sgt. Pepper Anderson, showed viewers the power of LGBTQ+ allyship.

None of us thought that we'd still be in the virus lock-down in the middle of August, but here we are. Pastor Troy believes the virus will end right after election and it's be politicized. His words of encouragement give us hope of God ending it.
Pastor Troy gives the example of the rich young rules about sacrifices. Giving up things in this life, not only benefits our walk with God now, but blesses us into an eternal life. And we're not talking about money.

Join Lee Harrington in this rich discussion with Master Skip Chasey as they travel through his spiritual journey from crappy zen student to expansive leather Christian and active leader in the MCC, and finally onto a path of radical happiness. Acknowledging the sacred and blasphemous possibly in every altered state and tyranny of technique, they talk sexual mysticism, repentance for personal growth, and leather as being another form vestment. On a path to integration, we do not blend roles, but instead see that we are can be all of our roles, as well as more than our roles, and that the world is more than black and white. .
