Robin Tyler (1942-present) was the first queer comic to come out on U.S. national television. She was a radical whose dynamic partnership with female comic Patty Harrison changed the discourse around women and queer people. She was a pioneer in the grassroots struggle for LGBTQ+ civil rights and marriage equality in the U.S. and used her comedy to spark political change.
