Curtis Loves David Gallagher!

My first gay crush was actor David Gallagher!

He played Simon Camden on the "7th Heaven" TV show. 

But I'd never seen it, as there was no WB affiliate where I lived. 

But then in 1997, TV Guide featured it.

As I looked into his eyes, I loved his smile, and his perfectly parted hair.

I was a naive 13 year old that year, and all I knew was that I got this warm feeling inside just looking at him. 

I wanted to be near him.

And to be like him. 


Being a blond with green eyes myself, I held the
TV Guide up to the mirror and tried to style my hair the same way. I kept that issue at the head of my bed for nearly a year, saying I liked one of the articles in it. 

A year later, I was literally in my OWN 7th heaven when my parents got DishTV.  Not only could I watch all new episodes, but WGN ran many reruns all day. So I stayed home sick from school as often as I could to catch them. 

My mom loved that I had taken a liking to such a "wholesome show." If she only knew the unwholesome things I dreamt of while watching David!
