Bonus! Why were there so many gay marriages in the 1970s?
DESCRIPTION

Why was there a surge in TV episodes with gay couples in the 1970s, after decades of queer people basically being invisible on television? And especially at a time when gay marriage was barely a gleam in anybody's eye, why did so many queer characters start describing themselves as "married"? We're investigating in this week's bonus video!

Also, I may be taking a trip to Europe this summer, and I'd love to do some talks while I'm there! If you have a connection to any museums, bookstores, community centers, universities etc that might like to host me, please let me know!
