How comedian Robin Tyler fought for LGBTQ+ rights with humor
As Pride Month wraps up, we look at the career and achievements of a pioneering LGBTQ+ comedian and activist. In 1979, Robin Tyler became the first out lesbian comic on national television. She has used both her humor and platform to become an important voice in the push for LGBTQ+ rights and equality. John Yang speaks with Tyler for our “Hidden Histories” series.
