My first gay crush? Duh! David Cassidy!
From the time "The Partridge Family" first aired in 1970, David Cassidy was the preferred boy idol of the girls in my grade school.
Which lands this crush during my tween years.
Fronting the fictional family band, he sang one of their most popular hits: "I Think I Love You" -
a full out ode to being fearlessly in love!

But then in the Spring of 1972, Annie Leibovitz's "Splendor in the Grass" portrait of him ran on the cover of Rolling Stone!
And I felt something truly illicit when I acquired a copy of it.
However, my feelings were hidden away at the time.
But they fueled endless fantasies of David and I rolling around naked in the grass (for starters).
