A compilation of news reports on the burgeoning "homosexual community" in San Francisco, in the freewheeling carnival days before Harvey Milk, before the riots, before AIDS and all that. I was still in the closet, and though I knew I was gay I didn't feel any kinship with the screaming queens out there. The two quiet, polite, monogamous guys interviewed in the first clip here were more my speed, and still are. But San Francisco was in the vanguard of the gay rights movement, which has benefited us all from coast to coast.
BTW, David Goodstein, who appears in the first clip, was owner and publisher of The Advocate, which I later subscribed to for several years.
Comments are welcome, but please note: this is not a public forum but my personal blog, which nobody is forced to read. You don't like what I write, go find a blog you do like; there are millions of others to choose from. Or write your own.
Polite disagreement is one thing, but rudeness will be deleted without hesitation.
