We\u2019re actually doing Growing Pains \u2014 specifically because of one scene in a first-season episode in which Kirk Cameron\u2019s character tosses of the line \u201cMaybe I\u2019m gay.\u201d It might seem small, but it\u2019s crazy to consider the word \u201cgay\u201d even being spoken on this quintessential 80s family show, much less by a character played by a guy who\u2019d shortly thereafter become a born-again Christianity and who\u2019d eventually disclose some seriously homophobic views. Glen and Drew are joined in this episode by Dan Steadman, a writer and filmmaker who actually was friends with Kirk Cameron but, you know, isn\u2019t anymore.
