It's LGBTQ+ #Pride day here in NYC, so Happy Pride!
Also, happy 98th birthday to actor June Lockhart (of LOST IN SPACE fame), who was an ally to the queer community long before that was an "in" thing to be. Here's June gently challenging homophobia on THE VIRGINIA GRAHAM SHOW in 1970. https://youtu.be/Xm2q-F6FdoY
(Hat tip to pioneering gay activist Randy Wicker, who had a reel-to-reel home video recorder in 1970, and kindly lent me his recording of this rare show many years ago.)
Even though you are #LostInSpace you don't have to be serious all the time. #JuneLockhart
“Guy and I did have scenes of hand-holding and kissing in the pilot. But the word came down from CBS that we were not to touch each other because it embarrassed children watching at home to see the parents kissing!”

#GuyWilliams (1924-1989) — star of #LostInSpace and #Zorro — would have been 99 today.
