		Although he never officially came out, this Trojan horse in a silk shirt was a presence invited into millions of homes at a time when most weren't exactly hoisting triangle flags for all their neighbors to see.
		Never merely a limp wrist for hire, somewhat arch and more than a little bitchy, and yet strangely likable, he was deemed "safe" for the whole family's consumption, which only made his spicy dollops of gay wit dropped into the tasteless gruel that was 1970s TV that much more palatable for middle-American consumption.
