Found by his partner. Horshack was gay? He kept it very quiet.

RIP. You gave me a lot of laughs when I was a kid.

I had a friend who was a writer on the show. He thought Horshack and the guy who played the principal were genuinely good actors. At the time, Travolta was wearing a wig on the show because he was shooting Saturday Night Fever and had his hair cut short. We certainly didn’t know he was to become a superstar.
