YOUNG GAY MALE UPLE BED TOGETHER, TIMATE. MASSAGG EACH OTHER. HAPPY GAY IENDSHIP, RELATNSHIP, PRI NCEPT.

ABC has a long history of landmark moments gay visibily, cludg one that happened eighteen years ago today. On November 7, 1989 ABC's popular drama thirtysomethg featured the first gay male uple to be shown bed the time, the implitns of the scene (which nsisted of morng-after pillow talk) was enough to set off anti-gay activists to anizg a enzied backlash.

Now, however, the scene seems tame as televisn has ched closer to treatg gay male sexualy equal to heterosexual sexualy. Earlier this year we looked at what happened to the actors who played the gay uple that episo, Peter Frechette and David Marshall Grant.

Both ntue to appear TV and film, but Grant is also a wrer for the gay-clive ABC drama, Brothers & memory of "Strangers" is actually a tratg one.

I didn't realize there was anythg gay about until I saw jeered a TV Gui "Cheers and Jeers" page (they thought Rsell and Peter jumped to bed too quickly, playg to a stereotype of gay men beg promiscuo).

To say the least, I'm glad there's more of a gay media nowadays, so that I n hear about gay characters on TV before the episos airs and judge them for about you?

But to actually be lockg ey wh Ellen and hold her, shakg hands as she said, "I'm gay, " on natnal televisn and for the first time, as she has shared outloud that way publicly, was such a profoundly extraordary and timate gift to that moment that I will forever be grateful for.
