"The Other Martin Loring" is a 1973 episode of Marcus Welby, M.D., an American medical drama that aired on ABC.

The episode aired on February 20, 1973, and was met with concern and protests from LGBT rights activists for its equating of homosexuality and illness.

That night, his wife Margaret announces she is divorcing him and suing for full custody of their son Billy; she calls him an unfit parent.

Dr. Welby expresses his assurances that Martin will win his "fight" and one day be able to live a "normal" life.
