When I was a kid, there was no Will & Grace on TV, no movies about ordinary people who were gay, no books or billboards or magazine articles or anything else that simply said: You can love anybody who you want to love without fear or guilt or apology. And then along came a four-foot-seven-inch force of nature with a thick German accent and a Betty Rubble laugh who went by the name of Dr. Ruth, and suddenly for me and millions of others struggling to find their place in the world, it was a whole new ball game.

Dr. Ruth’s voice on the radio was like rain in the middle of the desert. Well, actually, it was like explicit, judgment-free guidance laced with compassion, humor, and some much-needed common sense. I would lay there in my twin bed on Sunday nights, listening as sex therapist Dr. Ruth Westheimer, in her no-nonsense yet incredibly brave way, gave everyone respect, acceptance, and permission to be exactly who they were. She was a very good friend to me long before I ever met her.
