Fortunately, he gets to explore those topics on screen — thanks to a phone call many years ago that changed his life forever.We’ll have that conversation in a minute. First — a reminder that I’ve been posting lots of fun videos about queer pop culture history over on my YouTube — I just released a new one about the gayest week in television history.
