This is the 1967 CBS Reports episode called “The Homosexuals,” a Mike Wallace-anchored examination of gay men and the attitudes toward them. Most of the participants are anonymous and obscured by potted plants. It’s worth the forty-five minutes to watch it, just to remember how far we’ve come in forty years.

When I was 15, in 1989, I thought being gay meant a life of secrecy, damnation, having no friends, and hating myself. In 2009, I met a 15-year-old openly gay teenager in a Brooklyn ghetto who is adored by his family + classmates. That’s how far.
