Funny how "gay" had nothing to do with homosexuality back then... times change.

Thank you so much for uploading this! I have been researching the life of a late family friend who had a very difficult time with self-acceptance - and no wonder. Born in 1939, he would have reached puberty as the persecution of the 1950s was in full swing. He must have seen news stories about Burgess and Maclean that, combined with the wider culture, would've caused him to internalise a view of himself as Other, harmful to society. I got to know him late in his life, in the early Noughties, and the furthest he ever got was a belief that God accepted his nature, but would not want him to actually have relations with other men. It's unspeakably sad. It's so important for us to have access to documentaries like this to understand what the everyday person on the street thought in particular eras - this would've been the year before I was born, and even for my generation it hasn't been easy - I didn't understand myself as bisexual until my late 20s.

Enjoying having another man’s turd stuffed down your peepee and making it the center of your identity in the 1930’s. Cool!

It is so crushing to think about, that the gays in 1980 already rose to hope and conditions so much better then 14 years prior, only to be taken hostage by the AIDS epidemic and losing so many of their fellows.

Apparently as early as the 1800s, Shaftesbury Avenue had a reputation. The joke was that it was the place you went to "bury your shaft"

For YEARS these older gays have been confessing to their activities with "Guardsmen".They never mention which Regiments they are actually talking about!. Red tunics are mentioned and that, together with this all referring to "experiences" in London i presume they are referring to the COLDSTREAM GUARDS?. This seems to have been going on since Victorian times!!. 🧐🧐🧐

The struggles and suffering that gay people have gone through over the past centuries is shocking, and some what liberating.. from something that was illegal to now being accepted and almost normalised.... Most of today's gays have no idea how much people struggled and fought for our rights and freedoms.. I was 16 when I came out the same year the age limit was reduced to 16. But even then I still had alot of my own struggles to go through.. Even in today's time I've had my fair share of things to go through. I often feel empathy for those who didn't have it as lucky as we have it today......

Among the casualties of the early 1950s we can add Alan Turing, now much better known than when this documentary was made, who was prosecuted in 1952 for homosexual acts, He died, probably a suicide, in 1954.
