LGBTQ+ media historian/analyst Matt Baume's newest video is How Rickie from My So-Called Life Changed TV Forever [1h]. It made me cry.
It's difficult to describe how much this television show meant to me. And I was older than any of the main characters, but it was speaking to me very deeply. Rickie was just one aspect of this show which seemed to sum up most of my high school and even later experiences through the prism of the characters. But seeing Rickie on television, having come out only a few years earlier in a city with literally zero gay culture... watching this summary really did make me cry. In a good way, I think.
