RIP David Ogden Stiers

October 31, 1942 – March 3, 2018

From M*A*S*H, my favorite childhood TV show.

I’d also like to add that David Ogden Stiers was closeted until he was 66 years old. He came out in 2009 in the hope that he could have a public relationship with a romantic partner and finally felt it was safe to do so. Fear of professional repercussions made him hide his true self for nearly the whole of his life. It’s rather heart breaking when you consider that he had less than a decade to live his truth.

In 1988, these neo-Nazis disgraced themselves on the “Oprah Winfrey Show”

She used her platform to expose their ignorance and hate. 

What happened during this hour changed the course of Oprah show history forever.

Oprah says she and her producers believed they would be exposing ignorance and confronting hate, but they were wrong.

That was the show that changed the way Oprah thought about TV and how in should be used for good.

“I realized in that moment that I was doing more to empower them than I was to expose them.”

I remember this episode.
