This week I've got a bunch of fun stories to share: Before he was the first recurring gay character on a successful US sitcom, Billy Crystal was an obscure standup comic hanging out with Billie Holiday and getting shot at (!) while on stage. Before she put Billy Crystal on TV, Susan Harris was the creator of Fay, a show that was cancelled quite controversially. And before the show Dynasty made it to air, writers was told there was one gay-related phrase they were never allowed to use, and I can't for the life of me figure out why.
