Cole Parker Posted June 22, 2015 Report Share Posted June 22, 2015 Fascinating stuff. You want to take some of these guys out to the woodshed and make sure they don't come out on two feet. You can picture them sitting together over drinks laughing about the lives they've destroyed. The senator's demise is especially touching. C Quote Link to comment
colinian Posted June 22, 2015 Report Share Posted June 22, 2015 This is an amazing story. Most young gays (I include myself in that group) know nothing about what it was like back in those days. Colin Quote Link to comment
DesDownunder Posted June 23, 2015 Report Share Posted June 23, 2015 I remember the advertisement wording for the movie, Advise and Consent:: "Blows the lid off the capitol" Quote Link to comment
Cole Parker Posted June 23, 2015 Report Share Posted June 23, 2015 I read that book when I was young. Pretty vivid. Best seller. I probably saw the movie, too, but don't remember that. Books are usually more memorable than movies. C Quote Link to comment
colinian Posted June 23, 2015 Report Share Posted June 23, 2015 I'm too young to have ever read the book or to have seen the movie. The book wasn't on any of the book lists in my English classes in intermediate and high schools. Colin Quote Link to comment
