The story of Dynasty’s ntroversial gay son starts back 1979 wh, of all thgs, the oil crisis.
‘DUCK DYNASTY’S’ PHIL ROBERTSON ON INFE HIAT FOLLOWG ANTI-GAY REMARKS
And the son, Steven, who’s hidg his homosexualy om his nservative dad.
JAGUARS ASSOCIATE STRENGTH ACH KEV MAXEN OUT AS GAY A FIRST FOR US-BASED PRO LEAGU
” There had seldom been any recurrg gay characters on primetime TV — there was Jody on Soap, a fotten barfly on The Corner Bar, and gut-player Lori Shannon as Beverly LaSalle on All the Fay. Dynasty’s pilot posns Steven ont and center, wh a climactic scene which Blake nonts his son about beg gay.
He mands that Steven “straighten yourself out, ” hurls slurs at him, and sists that Steven never brg homosexualy to the hoe.
'DUCK DYNASTY' STAR PHIL ROBERTSON MAK ANTI-GAY REMARKS, SAYS BEG GAY IS A S [UPDATED]
There was so much stigma around homosexualy then that for many queer people, was simply easier to acquice and pretend they’d gone straight — pecially around fay. Over the 1970s, there had been a steady rise gay characters, acpanyg the growg queer liberatn movement.
) But the rise gay visibily on televisn ran to a brick wall late 1980s wh the electn of Ronald Reagan.
GAY DYNASTY: THE MEMORY ROOM
There were over a dozen gay characters on TV 1979, but by 1981 there were almost none.
He’d appeared on a gay-ish episo of The Love Boat a year earlier, and had lots of ias for where he uld take one of TV’s only gay characters. And then there was Newt Dieter, a gay muny lear who was often sought out by TV producers to vet their scripts.
TELEVISN: DYNASTY’S DISMAL GAY CHARACTER
His job was to make sure Dynasty didn’t ploy any offensive trop; for example, he advoted for a rctn the number of f-slurs, as well as removal of the somewhat ls egreg phrase “gay schmay. So when this pilot fally aired, was wh a lot of liberate work on the part of creators, the producer, the actor, and even a gay muny lear to make sure they got the Steven character right.
And bee of the sudn reluctance to put gay characters on TV the wake of Reagan’s electn, Dynasty wound up beg one of the only shows of s time to even attempt a storyle like this. Dynasty eely showed Steven gettg gay bashed, he jt uldn’t have have a gay kiss.
