I just watched this on Netflix and it was really cool to watch and listen to the stories of gay people from an older generation!

I came out in 1974, at 16 years old, in Buffalo, NY. The same dynamic was happening on a smaller scale. We just didn't get as much press. Google Madelyn Davis....she may shed some light. It's nice to see "before" and "after". Keep fighting the good fight! We aren't done yet!
