TV Queer

While today there are numerous queer shows and celebrities in series across genres of reality, drama, comedy, mystery, and so forth, we can't forget that all of this progress is still relatively new.

It was in February 1971 that 'All in the Family' became the first sitcom to bring a gay man to television screens, making history with only its fifth episode.

In this gallery, discover all the other televised milestone moments that have continued the charge.
