Lance Loud was an American television personality and musician best known for his appearance on the groundbreaking documentary series "An American Family." Born on June 26, 1951, in La Jolla, California, Lance was the eldest son of Pat and Bill Loud.

During the filming of "An American Family," Lance's candid and rebellious nature made him a central figure in the show. As the first openly gay person on television, his presence challenged societal norms and sparked conversations about LGBTQ+ representation in the media. Lance's unfiltered honesty and unique flair quickly earned him a loyal fanbase.

After the series concluded, Lance pursued a career in music and formed the band Mumps in the late 1970s. As the lead singer, he gained recognition in New York's punk scene, even collaborating with artists like Patti Smith and Debbie Harry.

Despite his vibrant persona, Lance faced personal struggles with drug addiction and HIV/AIDS. Tragically, he passed away on December 22, 2001, at the age of 50, leaving behind a legacy as a pioneering figure in both reality television and LGBTQ+ history.
