Steven Adamson Posted May 8, 2014 Report Share Posted May 8, 2014 Found a link to this browsing reddit today. It's an article from 1963 about the concerns over growing open homsexuality in NYC. The report seems even handed for its time, giving a wide range o voices, including gays themselves, but it also seems trapped in assumptions about homosexuality, like the roots of homosexuality lying in 'disturbed family relationships' and gays being targets for crime because the bring it on themselves etc. http://graphics8.nytimes.com/packages/pdf/weekinreview/1963-homosexuality-article.pdfWorth checking out for a sense of history and an appreciation of how far we've come.

FreeThinker Posted May 8, 2014 Report Share Posted May 8, 2014 This is fascinating. It is also frightening to read opinions from 1963 that are still expressed by the right-wing opposition to equality. Link to comment
