Was "Bewitched" a TV show about gays? (video)

Bewitched: Queer Witch Craft

(Matt Baume, March 1st, 2021) The sitcom Bewitched is one of the queerest shows I’ve ever seen — which is a little strange, since it’s about a straight couple happily mingling with witches and warlocks all in secret.

Spectrum: from questioning to pandaka

Just a few years later, Soap had gay characters; Mary Hartman Mary Hartman had a gay couple; MASH had a gay coming-out episode. Bewitched never had any of that. And yet it somehow feels more queer than any of those other shows. So why is that? Well, that’s what I want to show you.
