The Queen of Lindon is a fell beast when it is demanded; But the hour for that call has come to pass now, and your grip on the hilt of your sword has finally yielded.

Fanart for my Gil-Galad fic because why not?

We need to articulate what modern antisemitism feels like. Sometimes it’s being called a slur or harassed in public. Sometimes it’s graffiti or posters on a wall. Sometimes it’s violence, and firebombs and gunshots. Sometimes it’s hiding your screen in a college class, afraid that people will see the Hebrew writing on it, or tucking in your Magen David, or lowering your voice when talking about Judaism in public. Sometimes it’s staying silent in conversations or omitting your Jewish identity from conversations, maybe even entire relationships. Sometimes it’s being demanded your opinion on the Israel. Sometimes it’s loud but often it’s quiet and it’s everywhere

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.

Honestly the Dead Boy Detectives writers did something so unbelievably funny by interrupting a love confession with the confessing character being dragged to (super)hell and then immediately fixing it.

They really went RIP to Supernatural but we’re different.
