EP12 Being Gay in the Thirties Jun 07, 1980

Gifford Skinner describes what it was like to be a gay man in the 1930s. Illuminating and nostalgic, Gifford recalls picking up guardsmen in Hyde Park as well as some of the homosexual ‘characters’ he encountered in London’s West End. The gay activist, historian and sociologist Jeffrey Weeks is interviewed about gay law reform.

EP13 Male Sexuality Jun 16, 1980

From clubbers at Heaven and cruisers on Hampstead Heath to academics and journalists, gay men offer their candid views on sex and relationships. They give a brief history of cruising, rue the dashed hopes of Gay Lib, and, most interestingly, critique the goal of emulating the traditionally masculine ideal of the heterosexual man, a self-loathing trait still prevalent among gay men today.

Derrick Gibbons An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
Marva It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,
