Matt Baume does these great videos about queer tv history and this video is no exception. He traces the link between more accurate depictions of gay bars in the late 70s and the watered down queer-less drag bars of the late 80s to the Reagan administration and the rise of the conservative movement. Pretty good and fun video

I’ve been reading many comic books recently in an attempt to develop my art style. Comic books, especially ones from the 60s/70s/80s/90s, have really great artwork in them. The lineart in particular inspires me, the use of lines and outlines to create depth is just amazing and leaves me wondering how I can do something like that with my own art.
So I’m trying to implement more of that comic book-ish style into my work. Here’s a Starsky doodle as a treat. (I messed up his mouth. Ignore that.)

Rewatching Smuggler's Blues for giffing and. Paul Michael Glaser really did say Sonny/Rico 4Life, didn't he
There's a scene in Smuggler's Blues where Sonny is so freaked out and angry about having possibly left Rico in danger that he tries to strangle Glenn Frey, and then he pauses and gets quiet and weird.
He snaps the filter off a cigarette (...yikes) and asks Glenn Frey's character if he lost a lot of "buddies" in Vietnam. Jimmy says yes, and Sonny whispers, almost inaudible, me too.
And then, filmed so the sweat on his cheek looks like a drying tear, he blinks and tells Jimmy that no matter how much loss he's experienced-- that essentially, Tubbs is the one person he can't leave behind, and it's like.
Oh.
That is the exact moment that he realizes that.
We see, on screen, the moment that Sonny, who has up until this point refused to reflect for even half a second on what their partnership is or could be, comes to the sobering realization that he Has Feelings
Considering the next (and final) PMG-directed episode is the one where Sonny and Rico flirt at the airport while the music affirms that they're Home for one another, I think it's a genuine tragedy that they didn't get my best boy Starsky to come back at least once a season to direct an episode

David Soul as Detective Ken 'Hutch' Hutchinson and Paul Michael Glaser as Detective Dave Starsky in the groundbreaking and progressive for the era lgbtq+ themed episode of Starsky & Hutch entitled Death in a Different Place, originally broadcast by ABC on October 15th, 1977. During an interview with the Television Academy recorded on August 6th, 2014, Paul Michael Glaser discussed the close relationship he developed with his co-star David Soul: "My chemistry with David, interestingly enough, was very much about what happened in front of the camera. Off-camera we didn't have a whole lot to talk about. We'd see each other at a party, 'hey, how are you?', 'fine, how are you?', 'fine', and there was nothing more to talk about. It wasn't that there wasn't anything there, it's that I don't think either of us felt comfortable talking about it. And then the years went by and the last few years, when you've had a relationship that's existed that long, you can't help but to really care and love that person. David and I have become much more comfortable with understanding and acknowledging our feelings. At the time it was probably more difficult, but when we got on camera, it was all there. It was really interesting. We were kinda joined at the hip, so as uncomfortable as we might've been as younger men with our feelings, we weren't uncomfortable with them in front of the camera. We were joined in this destiny, we were joined to do the best we could possibly do with the show." Paul later stated about Starsky & Hutch during an interview with The New York Post's Page Six in 2021: “I think it’s important to understand that yeah, there’s homoerotic elements. I think the reality is David and I are for the most part, if you have to define oneself, as straight. But you have to be able to recognize there’s a part of all of us that is homoerotic. We see someone of the same sex that’s attractive, we either deny it or acknowledge that it’s there. Does that mean we’re going to have a homosexual relationship with that person? Not necessarily, but it becomes much more freeing to be able to acknowledge something that exists, maybe kid about it, play with it a little bit and move on. One thing David and I had and still have is a very deep friendship.”
