No other website could ever possibly bind mutuals together stronger than tumblr. It's like this: I'm scrolling past your art which is beautiful and warm I love it I hope you get on the trending page, oh you finally posted your fic i'm so proud of you, i'm sorry that you're having a hard time with work, school or you think you're hard to love, you're not because I love you and it's so easy. you're being silly tonight on the dash, it's good to see you after your hiatus. I also like that ship, they're keeping me up at night, can you share your joy with me? I saw your tags on my post, did you see me like it? hey it's been months and I've grown quite fond of you. see you tomorrow, same time or perhaps when the sun rises for me and sets for you. Isn't that wonderful?

randy being questioned by the police after benson dies.

they take away his clothes for evidence and give him a set of plastic scrubs and a paper thin blanket. he’s shaking the entire night—not from the cold but from fear. he’s stuck in a small room for hours until a pair of detectives walk in. he feels cornered.

they ask him questions, trying to figure out if he’s involved or not. by the time they’re even able to ask if he helped benson in any way, randy’s sobbing. his fingers are picked bloody, and there are crescent shapes in his palms from his nails.

he apologizes for everything and tells them how it’s all his fault. the more he explains, the more confused the detectives get. randy blames himself for everything, but the actual story has nothing to do with him.

he tells the detectives that benson wanted to ‘fix’ him, that nobody would have died if he had been stronger or ‘more of a man.’ they ask him if he physically did anything, and randy describes how he helped clean the restaurant after the shooting because he was afraid benson would hurt him.

the detectives come to the conclusion that randy wasn’t involved and allow his mom in to see him. she had been waiting in the front office of the precinct since she heard that randy was in trouble. the moment he sees her, he starts hyperventilating.

he’s right back to where he started. he’s stuck with his mother in a town he hates. benson isn’t here to help him anymore. benson left randy stranded in a world they both know he can’t survive alone.

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.
