SHARON BARR
As though made up of something cosmic, each of Sharon Barr’s paintings seems to have a kind of gravitational pull. Paint strokes are energized as they travel over the composition: some are quick bursts, while others build slowly to a rich intensity of colour and form, orbiting a center in a mesmerizing dance, harmonious yet wandering. And while Barr’s paintings are abstract by definition, they…

Documentary with Led Zeppelin Stories
Sunset Strip is a 2012 documentary that's available for free on the Tubi app. Led Zeppelin is discussed by several people during a section of the film. The Zep portion starts at around 52:12. Everything that was said about LZ in the documentary is transcribed below:
"I stayed with Led Zeppelin there (Hyatt House) a lot, and they had the entire sixth floor. They always rented out the entire sixth floor and, you know, took over." Grins
-Pamela Des Barres
"Everyone knew in Hollywood that Zeppelin were in town, and those guys were so fuckin' wild. They'd abuse the chicks. They liked to push it to see how far they can go. Burning 'em, cuttin' their hair off, handcuffin' 'em. I mean, you know, leaving them handcuffed for a couple of days in the room." (!!!!!!!)
-Sharon Osbourne
"They'd ride motorcycles up and down the hallway at the Continental Hyatt House, and throw these wild, wild parties. You know, up all night, and throwing TV's out the window. All that stuff was true."
-Rodney Bingenheimer
Then, there's an old video shown, presumably from the 70s, in which three unidentified women are talking about LZ.
The clip begins by one woman saying, "Led Zeppelin did lots of stuff. Richard Cole, he took this leather strap and he started beating me, and I didn't even know him. They threw Cynthia in the swimming pool and ruined all her velvet clothes. They were really weird."
"Hostile," one of the other women chimes in.
Cuts back to Sharon
"They were probably the worst, but they were many that abused loads of people on the Strip. But that would never, ever, ever have been tolerated anywhere else but America. In America, they were like, 'Oh, do you wanna hit me some more? Do you wanna burn me? Do you wanna fuck me with a fucking, you know, rod of iron? We'll do it.' And that's, that's how it was."
-Sharon Osbourne
Sharon's recollections corroborate a pattern of behavior described in the book Led Zeppelin by Bob Spitz: p. 190
"Once, during Led Zeppelin's stay at the Chateau Marmont, Peter Grant wandered into one of the empty bungalows they'd rented and found a naked young woman tied to the bed by her wrists and ankles. 'I said, 'Hello, what are you doing here?' She said, 'I don't know, but guys keep coming in and fucking me.' I said, 'Oh okay, well, have a nice day.'
No one gave a thought to whether these girls were well below the age of consent. Some were eighteen, some were sixteen, some were fourteen, occasionally younger--mostly no one bothered to ask."
p. 503
"LA meant it was party time. Swan Song and Atlantic rented a fabulous house in one of the canyons and packed it with a guest list of relatively high-profile friends, everyone from Roger McGuinn, Keith Moon, and Rod Stewart to Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. It was a glittery champagne-and-cocaine affair that soon devolved into debauchery. The company pulled out all the stops, somehow sensing this might be a send-off, the last time Led Zeppelin performed in LA.
'I brought along a friend unlike Lori, a thirty-five-year-old, successful woman who knew how to take care of herself,' says Betty Iannaci. Later, Peter Grant invited Iannaci's guest to his room. 'He had come into a large quantity of cocaine and was feeling very generous.' Eventually Betty's friend wound up naked and handcuffed to the pipe under Grant's bathroom sink so that, for an entire weekend, she was at the disposal of anyone who came in. Jimmy came across her almost by accident and, in an uncustomary show of gallantry, found a key to unlock the cuffs and helped her to escape."
When I first watched the Sunset Strip documentary, I thought if those girls were restrained and abandoned alone in a hotel room, they were sitting ducks. Any number of terrible things could've been done to them. Zep regularly threw parties at the hotels they stayed in. People would roam from floor to floor and wander into different rooms. Those girls could've been raped.
Then, I read Spitz's book and found out that is what happened. Women and girls were handcuffed or tied up, ditched, and gang raped, sometimes over the course of days. They couldn't consent. They were literally trapped. A man walks into the room and gets to do whatever he wants to whichever girl is there. And she has no choice in the matter.
The men who violated the women & girls who were physically restrained and left alone in unlocked hotel rooms are the ones solely responsible for choosing to rape. But the fact that the Zeppelin band members were restraining women & girls, then leaving them for days at a time is abusive.
Ann Wilson wrote in her review of Spitz's book that Led Zeppelin's story was one of, "rape and pillage," (among other things) and it really was. There were occurrences of statutory rape and two instances of attempted forcible rape by John Bonham.* Let's not forget the multiple incidents of violence committed by Bonham against numerous people, including women, such as the female journalist he punched in the face for smiling at him.
The degeneracy, including rape, is brought up in another review of the book:
https://forums.stevehoffman.tv/threads/bob-spitz-new-book-led-zeppelin-the-biography.1117692/
"I thought the book was fairly well written. I’ve only read one or two other books on Zep, so a lot of the info was new to me. The best parts of the book were the chapters covering the formation of the band, which really painted a detailed picture of the late 60’s music scene. The parts of the book covering the recording sessions were also very well done. Once the 70s and the drugs kick in, the depravity and excesses were all consuming. Very difficult to come to grips with these parts as a fan. I know the text is unrelenting in its depiction of this period, but I dont think there is any other way to tell it. Unfortunately, the serial stories of drugs and rape weren’t punctuated with a few arrests and prosecutions.
Grant was a small time gangster right from the beginning, so it doesn’t surprise me how he ended up. Page hooked their destiny to a star that was inevitably going to burn out… and in a big way. Grant used force and intimidation to get his way and ended up alienating the press and US promoters.
After Bozo died from his disease, Plant was the only one to carve out a semblance of a solo career. JPJ dropped off of the map and Jimmy adopted a very low profile. I strongly suspect his musical skills were damaged by the 70s lifestyle. It is obvious after reading this book why the band would rather not discuss their history, which is extremely unfortunate. It would be nice if they could educate a new generation about one of the best bands ever. Of course, their feeble archive program doesn’t help."

Sharon's statement that Led Zeppelin were, "probably the worst" reminds me of the bolded line in this comment:
https://forums.stevehoffman.tv/threads/i-just-read-richard-coles-book-and-i-may-never-listen-to-zeppelin-again.225428/page-2
"It's interesting to contrast this thread with the controversy about Francisco Rodriguez (K-Rod), the New York Met's star relief pitcher, who was arrested for attacking his girlfriend's father and was charged with third-degree assault.
None of the sports fans I've spoken with have said, 'It doesn't matter if K-Rod punches a 53-year-old man, I enjoy watching him play, he's one of the best in the business, and his private behavior doesn't matter.' Rather, most of them are not only disgusted by his behavior, but they want him off the team.
The members of LZ weren't punching middle-aged men, but their behavior was no less reprehensible. Yes, rock and roll is (or at least used to be) about rebellion and sex and freedom, but it doesn't have to involve doing degrading things to other people. There's a difference between rowdy and mean, between hooking up with groupies and treating women like utter garbage, between being reckless and intentionally destroying other people's expensive things. All those stories about LZ's behavior aren't legendary because they're typical -- it's because they were at the extreme end of rock star behavior. They're lucky that they're not in jail, or that they weren't shot by someone whom they pissed off.
Now, despite my little rant, I'm able to enjoy my Zeppelin CDs without thinking about any of this. But I understand Zack's feelings.
My question for everyone is, is there a degree of behavior that WOULD cause you to feel like Zack? (Other than, say, the artist brickwalling his or her CDs?;)) Someone mentioned Gary Glitter…has anyone stopped listening to him? What if your favorite artist drove drunk into a schoolbus, killing a dozen 6-year-olds? Or killed his wife?"
-Matty, Aug 20, 2010
They were other bands behaving badly at the time, but Zep's bad behavior still stands out. I'm unaware of Bonham ever expressing guilt or apologizing for any of his atrocious actions, but as I said in a previous post, I believe the other three (former) members of LZ see various things differently now and have changed for the better. They certainly have much to feel contrite about, though.
More than one person on here has said they want to maintain a balanced view of Led Zeppelin and not overlook the wrong they've done. Well, here ya go. These are additional glimpses into the foul side of Led Zeppelin's history.
*Ellen Sander went into detail about the attempted gang rape she experienced at the hands of John Bonham and another man. That all four members of the band attacked her is a persistent rumor surrounding Zeppelin, but Bonham was the only LZ band member involved in the attack.
Trips is mostly inspirational — and, as in her chapter on the Plaster Casters of Chicago, iconic groupies known for making casts of various rock legends’ penises — also massively entertaining. But the book doesn’t shy away from the dark side of rock life. One chapter chronicling a 1969 U.S. Led Zeppelin tour starts as a triumphant road movie and ends as a horror film. Sander writes that, when she went to say goodbye to the group and their entourage on the last night of the tour, she ended up in physical peril.
'Two members of the group attacked me, shrieking and grabbing at my clothes, totally over the edge,' she writes. (Sander now specifies that the aggressors were John Bonham and a member of the band’s entourage.) ' I fought them off until [manager] Peter Grant rescued me but not before they managed to tear my dress down the back.'
Reached through a representative, Led Zeppelin declined to comment on the incident. Though in Mick Wall’s 2008 Zeppelin bio When Giants Walked the Earth, when asked about Sander’s account by the author, Page replied, 'That’s not a false picture.'
Sander recently took some time to reflect on that traumatic night, which she calls 'the nadir of that whole arc of experience with Sixties rock & roll.'
So, regarding the Zeppelin incident, I only want to discuss it insofar as you’re comfortable with it.
I’m totally comfortable with any aspect of it, so just go ahead. It was a long time ago. I believe I have healed from that, many times over.
The account in the book is fairly brief. Could you set that scene for me and recall what you remember happening?
You know, we’d been on the road together. I’d been at recording sessions in New York and they had a date at the Fillmore. I had a certain timespan on the tour and I wasn’t going to see them again. I saw the show at the Fillmore. It was splendid, and I went backstage to say goodbye and got attacked.
It was [a member of the band’s entourage] and Bonzo and I don’t know who else. I know it wasn’t Jimmy [Page] or John [Paul Jones] because they were in the corner just flapping their heads. It was only an instant. It couldn’t have been more than 20 seconds, or something like that. Then Peter Grant just sprang up from his seat and just picked them up by the cuff and pulled them off me. They came at me from the front, I crossed my arms over myself, and I turned my back, and I had on this dress, that was tied in the back. The top of it was tied in the back, and they just ripped that down, but I still kept the dress up because I had my arms crossed over my front. And there I stood with the back of my dress torn and Peter said, “Why don’t you take my car home?” So we went downstairs in the back, and he put me in his limousine, and I went home, shaking. I don’t know if I was frightened or if I was angry or both, but I was just shaking. I was terrified.
I just never thought that would happen. I knew about the behavior with the groupies ’cause they would talk about it all the time, and I’d see a little bit of it. What I saw, I wrote about. I was kind of like, 'That’s just with them, but I’m different. I’m a reporter. I’ll do my story for Life magazine. I won’t be vulnerable to that.' And I was.
So just to clarify, this was basically in front of a room full of people?
It was backstage, so it wasn’t all that full. It was the band, the road crew and Peter Grant, maybe a couple other people, but those weren’t very big rooms upstairs backstage at the Fillmore East. I just came in to say goodbye. I wasn’t coming in to hang out. I just wanted to say, “Goodbye. It’s been exhausting but wonderful working with you and best of luck, you’re great, thanks, goodbye.” And I was going to go home and start writing — well, I had a bunch of notes. And that was that.
Would you say that it was John Bonham who was the primary aggressor?
No, it was [the member of their entourage]. And then Bonham was right on it, but it was [the other man] who, I think, started it and then as soon as he encouraged it, then Bonham.
I don’t know where [Robert] Plant was, but I saw Jimmy Page and I saw John Paul Jones. And Jimmy Page was just, like, holding his forehead going, “No.” And John Paul Jones just kind of turned his face to the wall, like he always did. He was always apart from them. He was never into their orgies.
And you said the person who broke it up was …?
Peter Grant. And he was a big guy. Really, he could pick up 220-something guys and just lift them up and put them down. So you know, as it turned out, I was never in any real danger, but I didn’t know that.
So the entire Zeppelin road piece was written after that incident? I think you wrote that you took a year off.
Yes. I decided not to write a piece that would promote them. And plus I was having trouble having any emotional distance from it, which I hope is understandable.
Of course.
My editor was very understanding. I just backed off, and I got busy with a lot of other stuff. And then a year later I was looking at it, looking at my notes and going, “You know what? I’m putting this in the book.”
In terms of getting to that point, was it really just a process of time? Or was there some therapy, or other methods?
Yeah, it was time. You know, it’s been, what, 50 years? It was time and also that I knew that it was an anomalous event. Everybody else I ever worked with treated me very well or better.
Overall, your piece is surprisingly sympathetic to the band, in light of what happened.
Well, I mean it didn’t seem like bitterness to the point of focusing the truth elsewhere. I mean, I loved the story more than I loved them. I just took it from the notes, the way it was. Before that happened, I was very sympathetic. Empathetic maybe.
And their music, I still respect and love. The virtuosity of Jimmy Page still amazes me.
Thinking about what’s happened in so many other industries with the MeToo movement, if something like the Zeppelin attack happened today and it came to light, there would be a huge uproar about it. Do you ever wish that that cultural shift had happened earlier?
I don’t think anybody who ever heard from me or read that story, I don’t remember anybody not being upset and outraged about it. And as I say, it was anomalous. … But men with power always took sexual advantage, and all of a sudden, it’s being called into question, and it’s about time.
I mean, my 50-year-old editor at Saturday Review — my agent put it this way — chased me around the desk. And when I told her about it, I was really upset; she laughed. And I felt very betrayed that she laughed. But then, I felt like, OK, nothing bad happened, it’s just something I have to put up with — I want the gig. And he never did it again, and we never talked about it.

Just a mask - Introduction
A mauve-colored river seemed to be spilled over the orange, cloud-rough canvas of the sky, offering an admirable view worth capturing in a painting. A blond young man walked near the city river during that beautiful sunset. Dylan Barr gave wide yet slow steps since he was recovering from the boring lecture he just had from his thesis supervisor. He had a subtle headache, a product of all the babble and changes his advisor made him do to his project, and thought that perhaps a calm walk would help him relieve some stress.
As he was massaging his temples, he approached the riverbank, went down the lemon-colored grass and saw the reflection of the sun hiding over the waters, at the horizon.
Dylan sat there cross-legged. He didn't have that much to; all the points his advisor said, in spite of how nitpicking they seemed, were all manageable, so he could start checking his work the following week. And yet he felt tired: tired of the stress he has to go through just to get a degree, to “finish a stage”, to end with a phase of a cycle he himself saw as nonsense.
Coming from a wealthy home, he never had to go through difficult times. It was when he started college, a decision he took on his own, when he first experienced stress and the desire of giving up. It was exciting, something new and distinct from the monotone of a spoiled childhood. But after a few years, he missed the days when everything was easy.
Dylan massaged his temples a little as his gaze fell on the water, which circulated with no rush. Suddenly, he noticed how a dark bag emerged from it and approached him.
“Why people throw trash in the water?” he murmured, frowning. Dylan reached the bag with a nearby stick and took it out of the river. “Huh? Seems solid…” he thought, and then he took out its content, finding a very odd-looking mask.
Tumblr media
“A mask?” he asked confused, “why would someone throw away something like this?” 
Before being able to answer himself, Dylan's phone vibrated, and with his free hand, he took it out of his pants and answered the call. His older sister, Sharon, would go soon on a trip to move to another country. However, she needed her son, Johnny, Dylan's nephew, to stay with him while she and her husband got everything ready. After a sigh, Dylan agreed, but he was a little shocked after hearing that they were already sitting at the entrance.
In a rush, Dylan darted over to his house. He arrived in a couple of minutes, since the river wasn't that far away. As he walked to the entrance, he saw his sister frantically checking her watch while Johnny appeared to be utterly bored, staring up at the ceiling.
"I'm here, Shay, calm down" Dylan said, which caught their attention.
"Until you finally show up" she replied, she came up to hug him to greet him. "I'm sorry I have to bother you so suddenly and late with this, but my son hasn't slept all day, if you could get him some rest…”
"You can keep yourself easy, I'll take good care of Johnny… What's up, little friend?". 
"Uncle Dylan" greeted the little boy running to hug him.
"Okay, sweetie, be nice to your uncle… Okay, Dylan, Johnny, see you later." And Sharon went off.
"Well, let's go inside, Johnny". 
After going into the house, the uncle and nephew had a good time in the room where Johnny would sleep. However, Dylan noticed a strange reddish, pinkish, and greenish glow emanating from the back of a mask from time to time. Later that night, when it was time for Johnny to sleep, he realized how much Dylan was staring at the wooden mask.
"Uncle Dylan…" Johnny called lying on his bed. "What's so interesting about that weird mask?"
"It's just, there's a weird glow coming out of it" Dylan replied and showed him the mask.  "You see?".
Gradually, Dylan moved the mask closer to his nephew's face. The boy hesitated before speaking. "Sorry, uncle, I can't--"
Dylan didn't know what had happened, but the mask had come off his hands and clung to Johnny's face, muffling his words. It was a strange scene, and Johnny's eyes seemed to pop out of shock.
Tumblr media
(Thanks to @kermit43 for this edited pic).
Dylan grabbed hold of the strange tendrils that were crawling across the boy's skin and pulled at them. It was a difficult task, as the boy was yelling in pain, but after several minutes Dylan managed to remove the mask from Johnny's face. Dylan was surprised that such a harmless-looking object could cause such a bizarre reaction. Johnny was scared and tried to calm himself by taking deep breaths, but eventually, he drifted off to sleep.
Dylan observed the mask in his hands and went to put it in a drawer, just to avoid any further damage, and stayed awake, sitting near the bed where Johnny slept, cell phone in hand, waiting for Sharon to return.
He yawned a bit and just got a call a few hours later. Sharon was back.
"It's all set," she commented. "Johnny is asleep?"
"Yes, I think it would be better to let him sleep," Dylan suggested, remembering the circumstances. Johnny's father picked him up carefully, without waking him, and carried him to the car.
"Thank you for taking care of him, I hope you can come to visit us soon".
"Me too, bon voyage, Shay," the pair of siblings hugged each other goodbye. Dylan watched as his sister's family drove away until the car was out of sight. He yawned and decided to go to sleep. Lying down on his bed, he covered himself with the sheet, all the while pondering a single question: What would happen if he let the mask cover his head?
As soon as Dylan closed his eyes, his phone beeped again. He groaned in frustration and got out of bed to check his phone. He saw an email from his advisor, which contained upsetting news. The advisor recommended that Dylan should revise the methodology and rewrite his project. Despite the changes they had discussed that afternoon, the advisor believed that the project would be inconsistent without further revisions. The message ended with him requesting to move the meeting up by two days instead of waiting a week.
Dylan let out a loud groan as a sudden headache hit him hard. He closed his eyes and massaged his temples, trying to fight off the stress that was taking a toll on him. The pressure of working on his bachelor's degree thesis was getting to him, and he couldn't help but wonder if it was all worth it for a piece of paper he might never use.
Unable to sleep, he cast his gaze upon the drawer where he had stashed the mask. The thought of it being an escape from the stress momentarily lifted his spirits, and he decided to take it out. He knew there might be risks involved, given what happened with his nephew, but at that point, anything was better than the pounding headache caused by his thesis.
Tumblr media
As he stood up, he couldn't help but notice the rough surface against his soft skin. It was then that he saw it again - that subtle, iridescent glow that seemed to hold some kind of power. As if by magic, his headache began to dissipate, and before he knew it, he was standing before the mirror with the mask in his hands. Suddenly, a thought struck him: what if something happened to him? What if the mask had some dangerous side effects? Without a second thought, he grabbed his cell phone and hit record, determined to capture any evidence of what would occur to him.
Dylan's hand shook as he lifted the mask to his head. As he felt the smooth, warm surface of his skin come into contact with the rough, cold wood, he suddenly felt a chill run through his body. The mask seemed to suck at his face as if trying to absorb him. In a panic, Dylan ripped the mask away from his skin, his heart pounding in his chest and his breaths coming in short gasps. He stared in shock at the mask, his eyes wide and his mind halted for a few seconds.
Tumblr media
Dylan looked at that familiar glow. His heartbeat recovered its pace as if the shimmer hid some mysterious powers since it cured his migraine before. He suspected it was the mask beckoning him to let himself get carried away. Despite the potential dangers, whatever would happen filled him with the thrill his current circumstances took away. With that in mind, he lifted the mask again to his face. When the mask began to suck his face, he hopped a little bit out of surprise, but this time, he didn't try to take it off.
Tumblr media
Dylan was in a state of complete terror. He watched as the mask enveloped his face, like some kind of alien creature. He couldn't help but groan as the mask adjusted itself to his features. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't remove the mask. It was like a slippery, rubber-like substance that just kept sliding through his fingers. The mask was slowly and relentlessly covering his face, and he felt a chill run down his spine as the holes of the mask slowly aligned with his eyes and mouth.
Tumblr media
As the mask continued to expand, Dylan's skin felt hot and sweaty. He could feel drops of sweat running down his neck, and he was filled with a sense of impending doom. He managed to peel the mask off, but it just expanded more and went back to his face, hitting him in the process. He was completely at his wits' end, so he scratched at the mask, hoping to remove it. But that only caused some shiny cracks to appear on the surface, and the mask seemed to grow even stronger.
Tumblr media
Dylan found himself trapped and struggling to breathe properly. The mask felt like a living thing that was slowly consuming him. With each passing moment, his heart pounded harder in his chest, and a sense of desperation washed over him. Despite his efforts to resist, the mask closed tightly at the back of his head, covering it entirely. Suddenly, he felt a chill running through his veins, as though an electric ray had struck him. His mind went wild, and his breaths grew stronger, causing him to groan loudly, almost like a yell.
As he tried to regain his composure, Dylan felt the mask moving his head from side to side, and before he knew it, his whole body began to spin at an incredible speed, like a tornado. The winds of the tornado were so strong that they muffled his yells, as he was propelled around the room, over walls, and even across the ceiling. The room was quickly reduced to chaos, as everything that was once orderly was tossed around and scattered. The only thing that remained untouched was the phone, which continued to record the entire ordeal.
Tumblr media
As soon as it had started, the tornado abruptly ceased. Its winds transformed into a green vapor that slowly dissipated, revealing a figure. Once the gas vanished completely, the figure became clear and sharp. What once was Dylan had a more compact and muscular body. He was dressed in casual clothing, but what stood out the most was his green skin, which looked like a second skin attached perfectly to his face. Even his hair and facial hair had a dark green tint. His eyes were a bright red, filled with an unknown, burning desire. The figure walked to the mirror and examined himself closely.
Tumblr media
"Not bad," he said with a casual tone before giving a huge, bizarre smile and winking at his reflection. It was like he was a whole new person, and he was loving every second of it.

"HIV and the Journey Toward Zero" spotlights the perspective of some of Chicago’s most prominent activists. The film is presented in partnership with the Chicago Department of Public Health, Tessa Films and local community organizations. Join us as we hear from long-term survivors, newly diagnosed individuals, clinicians, researchers and community leaders — the voices that, together, can make HIV history.

the difference is the gays never get the kiss and also get told they're disgusting for even seeing it that way
Tumblr media
Posting for context as this is what it was in response to.
First off, I'm very aware of homophobia as I have been a victim of it myself. I'm not straight but anon had no way of knowing that. So I forgive you for that, anon. There's no way you could have known. I'm a woman and have dated women as well as a non-binary person.
I've also been on tumblr since 2009,2010 https://succubussally.tumblr.com/archive The archive function is not working correctly currently so I'm not able to scroll all the way back to confirm the year but I'm pretty sure it was at least late 2009.
I totally get that a lot of my older posts are garbage and I have left them up to show that I have changed a lot as a person since then. I did use to be a garbage straight person who didn't bother identifying as bi/queer as I currently do. (I was attracted to women back then but thought that was something all girls do? I was very misled)
Now, onto the whole "gays never get the kiss". Where is this coming from because I even mentioned in my comment there that I am referring to when "Will they or won't they" was used on sitcoms.
You know what aired in the 90s? ELLEN. I was never really into her but obviously she's amazing for having come out on her own show. I also didn't get to watch the show when it aired as I was a Jehovah's Witness as a child in the 90s. (I mostly watch old sitcoms and I managed to miss this one and haven't ever seen it in syndication?)
Apparently there was a lesbian kiss https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YrbMSW8cQQ8 but one of the characters was straight because back then, you couldn't be gay and kiss on TV.... UNTIL MISSION HILL BABY.
Wally & Gus are gay and they kiss. This aired in 1999/2000. They are a couple however and don't have a "will they or won't they" relationship. In the show they've been together since the 1950's. And the show won an award for having a positive portrayal of a gay couple.
And now I'm going to talk about the most controversial of all - and happens to be one I know well because I watched the show a lot when I was a teen and I still watch reruns as well as the reboot that killed off the main character which was a GOOD CHOICE.
The episode of Roseanne "Ladies Choice" followed by the episode in a later season "Don't Ask, Don't tell".
People don't ever really seem to bring this up and its totally understandable because somewhere down the line, Roseanne Barr became just a monster of a person. From the thing that got her fired from her own show to that garbage she said more recently that didn't even make sense.
Roseanne has always been controversial but back in the 80s/90s - her image and show had better intentions than obviously now.
The show also featured gay characters and a bisexual character. In "Ladies Choice" Nancy comes out to her friends who are shocked, but they support her anyway.
Then in a later episode in that same season, it's revealed in a poor way that Nancy is also bisexual. Her friends question her attraction to a man to which she responds "I'm a people person, please don't label me" It's also made clear that she has no interest in having a relationship with the guy, but instead only wants to date him so she can get pregnant. After this guy turns out to be a con artist, she goes back to dating women.
Then in "Don't ask, Don't tell" - Nancy is dating a stripper, Sharon. It's not said specifically but its revealed that Nancy and Sharon are in an open relationship. Sharon invites Roseanne and friends to a gay bar where Sharon dances with Roseanne, and then kisses her.
Roseanne is a straight married woman but what makes this episode significant is that Roseanne has a poor reaction to the kiss and tries to blame it on Sharon not being monogamous. This is when Nancy tells Roseanne that Sharon told her about the kiss and its fine, not cheating. This confuses Roseanne which leads her to tell Jackie that she wasn't bothered by the kiss, but that she isn't gay.
Nancy walks in on Roseanne announcing that she isn't gay and has to tell her that, the real reason the kiss freaked her out is because deep down - Roseanne enjoyed it.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Nancy even tells her that sexuality isn't all black and white.
Roseanne continues to deny it until she finally admits to Nancy, that she was wrong - which means Nancy is right and she enjoyed the kiss. Roseanne denies she enjoyed it to her husband thinking he'll be upset only to learn he's a little too interested in his wife kissing some woman at a bar. (typical 90s stuff)
This isn't a "will they or won't they" relationship either although they do build up to the kiss with a lot of suspense. But it's really just "ohh what's gonna happen at the gay bar" - well gay stuff, duh.
This post is way too long for my liking and I'm sure there are many other examples of gays being okay and even kissing on tv at least - I didn't even touch all the gay movies I love from the 90's. These are just the examples that came to mind first on the subject of "gays never get the kiss" and I fully admit, there aren't any examples at least off the top of my head where gay people are in a "will they or won't they" relationship.
and like I mentioned, I tend to watch a lot of old sitcoms cause I love nostalgia and missed out on my childhood sadly because I was a JW.
There are probably more examples that I've heard about but don't know enough about to post about it here because anytime gay people kiss on TV, it's been a big deal.
So maybe "Gays" as anon put it, don't get the kiss in "will they or won't they" situations but they do get to kiss as couples and bisexuals get to kiss too.
And lets not minimize how important it is that bisexual characters get to kiss. I'm sick of bi-erasure and I won't stand for it.
As far as I'm concerned, its canon that Roseanne and Nancy are bisexuals. And sexuality does have a grey area.

The art of doing nothing
Twiddling your thumbs is often associated with wasting time. But feel shame about thumb-twiddling no longer.
In a world of calendars and to-do lists, something has got to give. We so often fear doing nothing, missing out, or getting behind. Our smartphones make it increasingly hard to disconnect from the attention economy. But studies show there are benefits to dilly-dallying when it comes to your work and your health.
Why is it so hard to do absolutely zilch on any given day? How can we try to reap the benefits of doing nothing at all? We bring together a panel to discuss.
