Affirmations: As Seen on TV: An Exploration of LGBT Characters 1954 - 1979

Affirmations is partnering with the Stonewall National Museum & Archives to host a virtual exhibition tour called "As Seen on TV: An Exploration of LGBT Characters 1954 - 1979"

Stonewall Museum explores the history of LGBT characters on television. Fifty years ago, prime- time television often depicted LGBT characters as sexual deviants and mentally deranged, and sometimes as flat-out murderers. Negative attitudes toward gay TV characters lingered until the 1970s. With a 25-year timeline of episodes, the exhibit shows popular 1970s sitcoms such as "All in the Family," "Sanford and Son," "Barney Miller”, "The Jeffersons" and "The Bob Newhart Show” warming up to LGBT characters.
