I’m watching that documentary “Before Stonewall” about gay history pre-1969, and uncovered something which I think is interesting.

The documentary includes a brief clip of a 1954 televised newscast about the rise of homosexuality. The host of the program interviewed psychologists, a police officer, and one “known homosexual”. The “known homosexual” is 22 years old. He identifies himself as Curtis White, which is a pseudonym; his name is actually Dale Olson.

So I tracked down the newscast. According to what I can find, Dale Olson may have been the first gay man to appear openly on television and defend his sexual orientation. He explains that there’s nothing wrong with him mentally and he’s never been arrested. When asked whether he’d take a cure if it existed, he says no. When asked whether his family knows he’s gay, he says that they didn’t up until tonight, but he guesses they’re going to find out, and he’ll probably be fired from his job as well. So of course the host is like …why are you doing this interview then? and Dale Olson, cool as cucumber pie, says “I think that this way I can be a little useful to someone besides myself.”

1954. 22 years old. Balls of pure titanium.

Despite the pseudonym, Dale’s boss did indeed recognize him from the TV program, and he was promptly fired the next day. He wrote into ONE magazine six months later to reassure readers that he had gotten a new job at a higher salary.

Curious about what became of him, I looked into his life a little further. It turns out that he ultimately became a very successful publicity agent. He promoted the Rocky movies and Superman. Not only that, but get this: Dale represented Rock Hudson, and he was the person who convinced him to disclose that he had AIDS! He wrote the statement Rock read. And as we know, Rock Hudson’s disclosure had a very significant effect on the national conversation about AIDS in the U.S.

It appears that no one has made the connection between Dale Olson the publicity agent instrumental in the AIDS debate and Dale Olson the 22-year-old first openly gay man on TV. So I thought I’d make it. For Pride month, an unsung gay hero.

“enby” i am BEGGING you to just say nonbinary

[casperscareschool]

seriously please please please don’t call nonbinary people “enbies” unless the individual explicitly says you can. it comes across as incredibly infantizing and condescending and it makes me and many others very uncomfortable

[antiandrogen]

the stonewall riots are relevant only as far as they inspire us to riot against the ways lgbt people are still persecuted to this day. you cannot settle into the mentality that someone fought so that you wouldn’t have to 

[curseworm]

the secret cheat code for women is realizing you dont have to date men

[curseworm]

this doesnt just go for lesbians it goes for bi women and straight women too. i cant even count how many times straight women have told me “i wish i was a lesbian so i didnt have to date men” but guess what … u Dont have to date men 

[curseworm]

to be clear this also isnt necessarily saying ‘go date women instead!!’ its just saying…. u dont have to date men. u dont have to be dating women in order to not date men! in fact if ur not attracted to women at all please dont date women just as a substitute for men. but if dating men isnt making u happy… u dont have to do that. u dont have to make a space in ur life for men

[curseworm]

im singlehandedly destroying every mans mental health by telling women its ok to not date them

It’s almost like CEOs and cooperations have an agenda making youths have addictions

[magister-christophe]

That’s a pretty wild accusation. I can guarantee you that getting kids addicted is the last thing that the company behind Juul actually wanted.

The thing that kills is the people in the tags claiming that ecigs and vapes were invented to help people quit smoking. No. No they fucking weren’t. You see back in the late 90s/early 2000s, smoking was already starting to decline. Not only that, but states continued to pass anti-smoking legislation like outlawing smoking in bars and restaurants, increasing taxes on tobacco products, restricting the kind of advertising that tobacco companies could use to sell cigarettes, etc. This scared the shit out of tobacco companies. They were smart enough to see the future and it didn’t look good for their profits. That is how things like ecigs and vapes were born. It was a way for them to continue to get people addicted to their products (the nicotine in ecigs and vapes is extracted from tobacco) and still have a captive market, while getting around all the regulations. Now most of the major vape companies are owned by companies that are cleverly hidden subsidiaries of big tobacco companies. It was never about helping people quit smoking. People were already doing that (or never starting in the first place) all on their own, thanks to decades of public health campaigns. It was always about profits and keeping as many people addicted as possible so they would never go out of business.

wlw does not mean ‘lesbian’

mlm does not mean ‘gay man’

bisexuals people are automatically included in these terms. bi women are wlw in the same way lesbians are. bi men are mlm in the same way gay men are. it is unfair that our identity is always erased when these terms come up because people just forget we exist

[fozzie]

really we talk a lot about how ryan evans is gay but we dont talk about how sharpay, chad, and taylor all clearly feel like their heterosexual interactions are a burdensome obligation… sharpay treating troy only as a status trophy and quickly forgetting the pretense that she was “attracted” to him while she seems much more interested in gabriella. chad feeling worried and drained by any action he has to take in his relationship with taylor while also struggling with an attraction to ryan. taylor adoring the company of girls while outright stating that she dislikes boys and can’t stand the way they think and behave. they’re gay
