Fics like Summer: Gay Life As Seen on 1970s TV

Although gay representation in 1970's American television was overall dire, some shows introduced gay characters who were sympathetic and nuanced. Even then, they usually were only there for one episode to teach the straight characters a lesson about tolerance. But this early TV representation was still important, so I've highlighted some favorite clips here of gay and lesbian characters speaking out in the 1970's.
