    MY SO-CALLED LIFE - 8/25/1994, ABC

    This wonderful teen drama series debuted 30 years ago today. Wilson Cruz (of STAR TREK: DISCOVERY fame) played the supporting character of gay boy Ricki Vasquez.

    Ricki was one of American TV's first queer teen regular roles, one of the first queer Latino regular roles, and one of the first gay regulars played by an "out" actor.

    MY SO-CALLED LIFE: "So-Called Angels" - 12/22/1994, ABC

    Gay teen Rickie (Wilson Cruz) becomes homeless on an icy Christmas Eve after being disowned by his family in this memorable episode of the classic drama series. Actor Cruz had told the show's creator, Winnie Holzman, about being thrown out of the house in his teens when he came out as gay, and being homeless for a time, and she decided to have something similar happen to his character on the show.

    If you're in the U.S., you can watch the episode on the ABC website: abc.com/shows/my-so-called-lif
