		Lance Loud, whose family was the subject of a television documentary series in the early 1970s, has died of complications from hepatitis C. He was 50.
		Loud, a freelance journalist, was a member of "An American Family," the 12-part PBS series that followed his family's daily lives for seven months.
		Loud, then 20 years old, announced he was gay during the filming of the show, causing considerable controversy both in his family and in the media at the time.

	Lance Loud - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Lance Loud (June 26, 1951 - December 22, 2001) was an openly gay columnist probably best known for his role in An American Family, perhaps the first reality show (it was broadcast in the U.S. on PBS in 1973, drawing 10 million viewers and causing considerable controversy at the time).
		The show was based in Santa Barbara, California; Loud moved to New York City to live, where he frequented various clubs and drag shows.
		At age 50, Loud entered a hospice suffering from HIV and Hepatitis C.

		The parents had five children and one of them, Lance Loud, was a gay 20-year-old man who occasionally wore lipstick and women's clothes and took his mother to a drag show in episode two of the series.
		Scholars sometimes mention that Lance came out of the closet on TV, but this is technically incorrect—he was simply gay without announcement or drama; his family says that they had known for quite a while.
		In 1983, PBS broadcast American Family Revisited; and in 2003 PBS broadcast the show Lance Loud, shot in 2001, visiting Lance and his family again at Lance's request: Lance was 50 years old, had gone through 20 years of addiction to crystal meth, and was HIV positive and dying of Hepatitis C.

		Lance Loud was deteriorating in a Southern California hospice when he glanced at a photo of himself from "An American Family," the landmark 1973 documentary miniseries.

		In the new documentary, Loud laments the breakup of his semi-successful punk band, the Mumps, and his parents' split, which he blames in part on the media spotlight.

		Loud, in contrast, hopes to get his languid third son to work in construction, during his summer vacation, for the "curb king of southern California." He talks to his nephew about summer employment for Grant, even volunteering to pay his son's wages.
		Loud jokingly tells some mineworkers that his teenage son is "the forerunner of the three-day week." Meanwhile, Lance, traveling abroad in hour six, invents a story about having his money stolen so that his parents will send more.

		Before he died of hepatitis C and HIV in 2001, Lance asked the Raymonds to film a belated finale to the documentary to show America that the Louds were not "affluent zombies," as once labeled by Newsweek.
		As in so much of "An American Family," Lance and his mother are clearly aware of the camera's presence as she sits chain-smoking in his cramped room, never removing the sunglasses, as if they can somehow filter out the seediness of the Chelsea.
		Although Lance was forever called the boy who came out on national television, there was never a scene where he specifically made the announcement that he was gay, as Pat notes in the new film.
