Hello there! This week I've got some ~thrilling~ news about my book (audiobook recording has commenced, and we've announced a few tour dates at gaysitcoms.com with more on the way) ... and also a look at a moment when a gay activist got rowdier than anyone expected and briefly shut down a news broadcast. Also! A bit of a mystery with John Waters and The Simpsons. And a sneak peek at my next video, featuring the delightful George Takei and his arch-nemesis, Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Bonus video! The time a gay activist crashed the CBS Evening News

"As governor, Arnold made a real shitty call about..." a sentence that is almost universally true no matter how you finish it.

I just joined, but none of the videos work? Any ideas?

Sorry they’re giving you trouble! Are you in the Patreon app? It sometimes has trouble with videos. Try that backup link at the top of the post, and let me know if it still doesn’t work so I can troubleshoot for you!

I would love if you did a whole video about queer stuff in Futurama and/or The Simpsons. A lot of it was progressive for the time.

I've done The Simpsons, but not Futurama yet! I'll add that to my list to check out.

I'm really looking forward to your video about George Takei! My neighbors and good friends are a gay couple who introduced George to his husband Brad when they all belonged to the Frontrunners, a gay running club in LA. I've met George twice, once at a Trek con during the 70s when we had lunch and again when he came to Seattle on a book tour for his autobiography, Altho he wasn't yet out at the time, he spoke at a gay Asian/Pacific Islanders group in Seattle, talking about his life before & after Star Trek. I especially remember him talking about how difficult it was to get his parents' generation to talk about their wartime experience. He later wrote and starred in a wonderful musical play about life in the internment camp, It ran on Broadway and was filmed for theatrical screening. Highly recommended!
