The nearly 30 years that I have been writing The Lavender Tube TV column for the
Bay Area Reporter has been an evolution of both the medium and the message. In 1994, then-B.A.R. Arts Editor Chris Culwell asked me to write about TV for the paper. It began as an experiment: The early columns were meditative and musing. A lot of what-if so-and-so was gay about various TV characters like
The X-Files Dana Scully (Gillian Anderson) and
Law & Order: Special Victims Unit s Olivia Benson (Mariska Hargitay).
I have had three terrific editors at B.A.R. Chris Culwell, Roberto Friedman and Jim Provenzano all of whom have given me leeway to highlight where we remain most lax in our community and society. Politics has been part of the TV column because being marginalized and excluded is a political act that must be countered with rebellion.
